A Global Community
Equipping women to seek God’s heart and live on mission
When you look at your life, what do you want it to stand for? We all long to live a life that matters — one that makes an enduring impact. That desire isn’t random; it’s how God created us. He shaped us to need and love His Word and to carry His hope into the world.
As women, God has uniquely positioned us to help influence and expand His Kingdom. Whether in your home, community or across the globe, your gifts and calling can shine His light in powerful ways. When women live boldly for Christ — encouraging, serving and leading others to Him — the ripple effects are incredible and eternal.
That’s why Women of the Word exists: to encourage and equip women to know God’s Word and join Him in His mission. From courageous women in Scripture to those serving today, God raises up women to move His mission forward.
Come join this growing community of women just like you who love the Word, live out the Word and share the Word — for God’s glory and the good of His people.

A Calling to Bring God's Word Home
Sometimes God’s plan for our lives unfolds in unexpected ways. We may think our skills aren’t enough or our season of usefulness has passed. But God has a way of working through every “yes” — even when we whisper it with uncertainty.
Humbelina’s Story: How Literacy Empowers Women
Throughout the Bible, women played a vital role in God’s plan. In the Old Testament, women like Miriam, Deborah and Esther led and interceded for God’s people. In the New Testament, Mary Magdalene was the first to proclaim the resurrection, Priscilla helped teach and disciple others and Lydia used her resources to support the early Church.
Unlikely Heroes: Women in Bible Translation
As human beings, we often have a narrow lens of understanding — we have no true concept of the big picture like God does.
But God is limitless in His understanding, and He is the God of the impossible. He takes us finite, fallible human beings and, through His power, uses us for His glory. He takes our weaknesses and infuses us with His supernatural power to accomplish His will and plan.
[The Scripture dedication] was pretty emotional for me, Holy Spirit-charged. I had a chance to put a face to a name, hug people and say, ‘I have prayed for you.’ It's what I imagine heaven will be like.
It is my passion to give. I believe in Wycliffe’s mission of reaching people with God’s Word. I didn’t become a missionary — neither did my children — so this is a way for me to be involved and to help people translate the Bible into other peoples’ languages.
Our desire is to keep bringing the Word of God in [their language] so people can understand it. When we share it with women, they don’t keep it to themselves. They share it with their children; they share it with other women. The Word of God in [their language] is what has an impact in people’s hearts, and it’s what changes people’s lives.
