Women
One Body… many parts
One Body… many parts
Service, encouragement, seeking and mentoring occur
every day on the Boles campus, as they do in the lives of women who
live elsewhere. The women of Boles are looking to join with ladies’
groups to form lasting relationships in which we are able to minister
to each other and so promote growth in the Body of Christ.
Women’s ministry at Boles Children’s Home exists to:
Invoke – a call to walk as Titus 2 women, actively
and passionately involved in the mission of God
Encourage – providing for fellowship of women and
girls at Boles with women in varying congregations
Inform – tell the story of the ministry at Boles
and what God is doing through that ministry
Involve – involving women at Boles with women
elsewhere in projects and activities on campus and in congregations
