About CWE International
OUR MISSION
As the church has continued to advance in these changing times, and the many needs of women continue to intensify, we have responded to a charge from the Lord to host an opportunity for Christian women to come together for encouragement, empowerment, education, hope and healing. Our response is to be global because we have discovered in our research and travels that the needs of the woman in any inner city of the United States and the woman in any remote village anywhere around the globe, mimic each other. Recognizing that there is a host of opportunities available, we are not trying to duplicate, diminish, nor compete, we are simply offering an opportunity for the power of the Holy Spirit to minster to the needs of women locally and around the world.
