Hey there… If you are looking for

Something new

Something helpful

    Something engaging

for your women’s ministry, you have landed in the right place!

Welcome to a proven plan for leading an engaged Great Commission focused group of women in your church.  You can obtain my brochure HERE. I also invite you to join my Joppa Interest Facebook Group where you can watch my videos about Joppa, post questions and receive answers. Click HERE to request to join!

Did you know that women, even busy women, would love to make a contribution to kingdom work and all they really need is just enough structure, a place, a team, and the liberty to implement their own ideas to make it happen? And you, as their leader, can provide all those things!  Yes, you can!!! It is what I describe as a Women’s Involvement Ministry.  For short, I call it Joppa!  Download the Joppa Brochure HERE to find out why this Women’s Involvement Ministry is called Joppa.

And just like these women who need to structure to engage in ministry, I have heard from many other women’s ministry leaders looking for the same thing when attend women’s ministry conferences. My goal is to serve women’s ministry leaders with this program that has served me and my church well.

How it all began…

When I was asked to take the role as Director, Women’s Ministry on staff at my church, First Baptist Church, Portland, TN in 2009, my first thought was a hard No.  Perhaps you can relate?  It is not for the faint of heart, am I right? 

After I was asked to pray about it, which I did, the Lord began to flood my mind with all these various ideas I had over the years which were now making some sense.  I spent days and nights preparing the plans, the curriculum and aids for this new and church-changing way to do women’s ministry. I took my idea and presented it to my church staff, and they accepted it.

Before this, our women’s ministry was much like everyone else’s; a handful of women making decisions about a retreat or women’s conference.  This is NOT that.  It is so much more.

Unexpected Results of Church Engagement & Revival

Before I get into what Joppa is about, let me share with you some successes of it:

• We went from five women “doing” women’s ministry to 50. That’s right 50!  Out of a church with attendance that averages around 600 per week, 60 women attended the vision casting meeting for this new idea and 50 signed up.
• This “Joppa Nite” got so much attention in our community, that the local newspaper did a feature story about it. We became the go-to church for women where their ideas and contributions were encouraged and appreciated.
• Ten new ministries began in our church as a direct result from the impact of this women’s ministry, according to the pastor of whom I reported.  It helped others – men, senior adults – feel emboldened to charter new ministries. Here are a few examples:
  • Clothing Closet
  • Mom’s in Prayer Group
  • Women’s Book Club
  • Substance Abuse Care Ministry
  • Backpack Ministry
  • Single Mom’s Support Team
• Our dwindling Women On Mission ministry tripled in participants
