For all [these] things are [taking place] for your sake, so that the more grace (divine favor and spiritual blessing) extends to more and more people and multiplies through the many, the more thanksgiving may increase [and redound] to the glory of God.

Women's Ministry
"We Are Fearfully and Wonderfully Made"
The question on each of our hearts today is, who am I, and where do I belong? As women today, we are looking for the meaningful that will help us grow in our relationship with the Lord, and with one another. This is God's ministry. Women in ministry is a vital part to the church community; it must interlock with the support of the other ministries of Christ's body. Which we are thankful to say is happening here at River of Life. "Women Reaching Women" is the title of this ministry. What will be our goal and objective? Matthew 20:2-28 says it best, we are in leadership to serve among others, so servant leadership shall be our focus, to pray, and work together to see the will of God accomplished.
