Pastors’ and Ministers W.I.F.E. Ministry

"He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord." Proverbs 18:22 (NIV)

I would like to introduce a ministry that God has birthed in me. under the Lord’s direction and with Bishop’s (Senior Pastor/husband) approval God has allowed me to launch this ministry, Pastors’ and Ministers’ Wives in Fellowship (for) Encouragement AKA Pastors’ W.I.F.E. Ministry. The name is the mission. It is a ministry especially devoted to encouraging Pastors’ and Ministers’ wives. There are no dues, financial obligations or scheduled meetings to attend. The "First Lady orMinister’s wife already has enough to do.

The Lord has given me a burden to encourage pastors’ and ministers’ wives. Being a pastor’s or minister’s wife is a calling and an honor. It is a ministry uniquely fashioned by God, requiring energy 24/7. The blessing of being "The First Lady" can be challenging and demanding at times. Therefore, we sometimes need the support of another sister.

It is important that the Pastor’s/Minister’s wife is ministered to, so that she is ready to serve the man of God and attend to his needs. Therefore, it is imperative that the woman of God is in an optimal state of mental, physical and spiritual well being.

God has given us a vision for this ministry. We will accomplish our mission of encouraging the "First Lady" with the Lord’s help by:

providing prayer support,
sending greeting cards for special occasions and holidays,
establishing a network of communication
publishing an informative newsletter, and
sponsoring an annual fellowship.
