Inter-denominational Christian women group, Women of Wisdom will be holding its 6th annual conference, The Love Party on Saturday, April 13, 2019 in Lagos.
Founded and led by Folasade Murtala, Women of Wisdom also known as W.O.W, an interdenominational ministry was commissioned to help women in their pursuit to discover purpose and build a profitable life. The vision of the organisation is to build builders, train trainers and raise women of prayer and purpose.
Women of Wisdom is a non-profit organisation, premised on the Word of God, Prayers and intellectual development of women. This interdenominational ministry was launched six years ago with the dynamic objective of connecting women to God on a deeper level in the place of fellowship and service, while helping women in their pursuit to discover purpose and build a profitable life.
WOW celebrates her anniversary yearly, and this event is tagged “WOW LOVE PARTY”, in 2017, they launched a new segment tagged WOW Free Shopping Spree.
The free shopping spree segment in the words of the WOW President, Folasade Murtala, “started as a result of a leading I had. The instruction is to bring women together, meet their basic needs and tell them about the love of Christ.”
According to Murtala, this event is all about showing love to the womenfolk, especially the needy ones, we provide them and their children with basic needs such as food stuff, clothes and shoes etc. We remind them of the love of God.
A lot of women are going through challenges in the quietness of their homes. Some are struggling with self-esteem, lack of provision for their children and many other serious life issues. It’s a way of ministering to women letting them know that we care about them and for their children. It’s actually a family thing, even though the men are not included in the giveaway, but by extension, the man is also a beneficiary because we know whatever a woman gets, is for the whole family.
“Last year over 800 women and children benefited from our free shopping program, and this year our target is one thousand people. The response last year was awesome, people were blessed, lives were touched and generally, WOW made a great impact in so many families,” says Murtala
Even though the free shopping is targeted at women, but men are not left out in this year`s conference as there are other segments profitable to the spiritual, physical, financial, health and marital fruitfulness of both male and female attendees.
The theme of the WOW LOVE PARTY for this year is All-round Fruitfulness and it is happening live in Lagos on Saturday, the 13th of April at The Kings Chambers, 42, Association Avenue, Ilupeju Lagos. Time is from 10:00 am. The guest speaker for this event is Bishop Francis Wale Oke of the Sword of the spirit ministry.
Aside from the free shopping, WOW has helped women in different ways over the years; one of such ways is Women of Wisdom Empowerment Programme (WOWEP), a structured program where women get trained on different crafts at no cost.
