WMU program celebrates third anniversary

BIRMINGHAM — Lives are being changed. That’s the bottom line. As Christian Women’s Job Corps (CWJC), a ministry of Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU), marked its third anniversary March 1, leaders could celebrate that more than 1,350 women have taken steps to move from homelessness, hopelessness and joblessness to lives that include jobs, financial security and self-sufficiency.

But perhaps a better term than self-sufficiency would be God-sufficiency, because CWJC bases its assistance to women on a solid foundation of Bible study and spiritual mentoring. Leading women to know Christ as personal Savior and to build their new lives on Him is the core of this life-changing program.

Since national WMU launched the ministry March 1, 1997, CWJC has spread to 34 states with more than 120 sites presently in operation. Recently two international sites have been established with plans for more in the near future.
