To Empower Women…

To empower women is to free women to interact with the world in the way they’re uniquely designed as individuals.

It’s the welcoming of women to serve the people around them based on their God-given passions, gifts, and ambitions without reducing them to their femaleness.

It’s valuing a woman’s humanity before her function.

It’s the celebration of women as Image Bearers capable of succeeding within a variety of contexts based upon their individual strengths.

It’s the pushing aside of personal lifestyle choices that attempt to dictate the way in which a woman operates within those various contexts.

It’s the recognition that a community flourishes when every person gets to contribute in accordance with their strengths.

Whatever your gender, whatever your context, whatever your role, may you seek to empower all individuals within your sphere of influence.
