Clubs? |
|

|
|

 |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Young Ladies Ministries
YLM is an outreach
ministry to teenage girls (grades 7-12). The highest
aspiration is that every girl will become a Christian and
then be sanctified and filled with the Holy Spirit. |
 |
|
|
|
|
Prayer Mother Program |
|
|
|
|
International Women’s Ministries developed the Prayer Mother
Program for the purpose of mentoring young women. With this
ministry, a Christian woman is paired with a club member and
they covenant to pray daily for each other. Through this
relationship, a bond of love and trust is developed and
generational barriers may be prevented. This mentoring
ministry can be expanded to include young boys with
Christian male role models.
The opportunity for blessings and life-changing benefits for
youth and adults are unbelievably enormous! When prayer is
woven tightly into the program from the beginning, the
potential for success will be assured. Our children deserve
all the caring, teaching and training we can give them.
Informational brochures, an installation program, Prayer
Mother ribbons and commitment cards are available through
the
Women's Ministries Resource Catalog.

International Girls Club Week |
|
|
|
|
|
Valentine’s
Week has been set aside to recognize Girls Clubs. Girls are
given the opportunity to minister in the home, church,
community and world as well as be ministered to by their
local churches. Girls Clubs Week provides valuable
opportunities to reach out to unchurched girls and young
ladies in the community to involve them in the life-changing
ministry of Girls Clubs.
During Girls Clubs Week, each club is encouraged to give an
offering or have a fund-raiser for the Women’s Ministries
World Missions project or translation, publication and
distribution of Girls Clubs materials. This is a completely
voluntary activity that will bring a rich reward to our
girls as they become involved in the lives of others.
Each year a program containing suggested activities and
information on the current Girls on a Mission (WWAM) project
is made available by the International Women’s Ministries
and can be ordered from...
International Women’s Ministries Office
P.O. Box 2430
Cleveland, TN 37320-2430
423-478-7168 (Voice)
423-478-789 (Fax)
The program is adaptable to be used anytime during the year
to emphasize this outreach.

Club Become Chartered?

Ministries Office. The cost of the charter is a one-time fee
of $6.00. With the purchase of a charter, the club is
eligible to receive membership cards at no charge on
request.
Charter certificates are suitable for framing and display.
The church’s name, chartering date, and assigned number are
on the certificate, as well as the signatures of the
International Women’s Ministries Coordinator, the

Coordinator and the Pastor.

Counselor
Enrichment Training Course (CETC)
This new and updated manual is an excellent self-study
course for all counselors, though not required. The CETC
program will assist with some of the unique challenges that
ministry to girls presents.
This manual consists of six sections titled:
A Girls Club Counselor... Models
A Girls Club Counselor... Mentors
A Girls Club Counselor... Motivates
A Girls Club Counselor... Maintains
A Girls Club Counselor... Monitors
A Girls Club Counselor... Ministers
The CETC program contains a Bible study, scripture
worksheets, and current information to train our Girls Clubs
counselors. Each notebook will serve as an excellent
resource guide for counselors. This manual continues to
include vital church and club histories, as well as age
group characteristics. All four clubs will use the same
training course, preparing counselors for working with any
group.
