Christian Womens Job Corps

The purpose of CWJC is to provide a Christian context in which women in need are equipped for life and employment; and a mission context in which women help women.

It differs for other job-readiness programs in these ways:

1. Each participant is involved in Bible study, and
2. Each participant is also matched with a trained Christian woman who will be a mentor as she travels the road from dependency to self-sufficiency.

Has God been preparing your heart for this work?

Prayer Team and Leader - UPDATE: We now have a prayer team leader and our prayer team is growing.  There are still openings for those whom the Lord has called to pray for the ministry.
