ABW Ministries of the Great Rivers Region

2023–2025 Theme: "Be Strong and Courageous"

Our theme for 2023-2025 is, "Be Strong and Courageous". As Women of God, we walk shoulder to shoulder, connected heart to heart in God's call for this ministry. Let's lift up women and in doing so, we lift our denomination. We continue to seek holy wholeness, divine discernment to Let the Walls Fall Down, removing all spiritual, emotional and physical walls, and now we will be bold and courageous with love. Consistent with Joshua 1:9, God has commanded us to Be Strong and to be courageous. We will not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord our God is with us, wherever we g0.
