EMPOWER: Reach across

CLCBC connects women in transformational relationships and unites them in Christ to impact our world.

While the secondary callings are unique and birthed out of our submission to the primary calling.

Christ’s transformation does not mean we blindly do as other good and godly people say we should.

Ultimately, both aim to know and love Jesus more, marriages will benefit from the pursuit of Christ, and including one another in a spiritual live can bring more unity and joy into the home.

But other than attending church together, how can they both grow spiritually together?

This is one of the specific reason of this ministry because the more they both both grow spiritually, the better the Marriage which means the better a woman lives a purposeful life.

Also we aim that teaching women how to parent their children according to God’s order and purpose. It sounds so familiar that when women becomes mothers many of our own interests are put aside for a season . . . or much longer.

Instead of focusing on personal growth, we focus on our growing children.

Although that’s completely necessary for the first few years of life, today’s average mom isn’t making the switch back from being child centered to parent centered.

As your children grow older, you’re still catering, serving, obliging, begging, orbiting, bribing, and promising.

No wonder so many of us aren’t experiencing job satisfaction as mothers! We aren’t leaders in our homes; we’re stressed-out servants.

The family isn’t meant to work this way.

“Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do,” Ephesians 6:1 says.

It’s not the other way around.

Parents aren’t supposed to obey their children, yet if you observe children in grocery stores or restaurants, often times they’re the ones clearly in control.

In this, efforts are made to help women be the mother God desires them to be when it comes to parenting.

Many women in spiritually-mismatched marriages are acutely aware their marriages fall short of the ideal.

This realization often results in their feeling disappointed, different, and sometimes inferior to other Christian women.

They experience confusion about how to handle dilemmas resulting from the difference in beliefs.

Along with practical guidance and understanding, they need to be reminded God desires to give them victory in their marriages and to help them grow and mature.

Often, a woman married to an unbeliever overly focuses on the couple’s spiritual differences.

We remind them that focusing on positive things she and her husband share will strengthen the marriage.

We encourage a woman to accept, respect, and love her husband. Such training will show her obedience and submission to the Lord and commitment to her husband.

When a wife respects her husband’s right to believe differently, he will more likely respect hers.

She must maintain a delicate balance between living her convictions, respecting her husband, and preserving her marriage.

We Create an atmosphere for women’s activities that encourages women to truthfully tell others about their struggles.

We Stress the importance of being transparent and vulnerable with each other.

This openness is refreshing; it ministers to the woman who is sharing and others as well.

It allows women to use their gifts and past experiences to encourage and comfort each other.

Help is given to women minister to understand that their ministry isn’t important more than their marriage.

Sometimes we think that ministry outside our homes is the most important kind of ministry.

But our homes and those in it are to be a primary focus for our ministry.

We must strengthen our marriages even as we serve endless hours in ministry by setting aside special time.

Ask your spouse to pray for you as you serve. Asking his advice and insight as you serve.

When a new ministry opportunity presents itself, take it to your husband and ask his opinion.

Talk about the time it will take. Pray together as you make decisions about involvement. Continually thank God for giving you a husband who supports you in ministry.
