EMPOWERED WOMEN OF HOPE MINISTRY (EWOH) BY PST SHAFT PABLO


It originated from the prison life ministry in 2019. Here we served under Pastor Oketa Jack who is the founder of prison life ministry. We worked with him for some time and we learnt a lot where by we also found out that we could start another ministry that could help a number of mothers most especially the vulnerable like; single and young mothers, HIV+ women, the women with cancer, the homeless, victims of crimes, widows, and orphaned children at risk

The disabled women like the deaf, the dump and the lame and at times the helpless men. Also this ministry reaches out to prisons where need be, most especially when we hear on radio that the condition of the Inmates is bad. Just as mentioned before, this ministry has a number of Objectives and they are out-lined below;


To empower women to see to it that the women of that category can stand alone as they care for their children:


To help them to acquire skills.

To bring them close to other people so that they can share Ideas.


To see that they also attain their objectives as they may wish.

We also empower them spiritually so that they may have hope.


We therefore, reach these women and the needy people mostly through groups.

But there are times whereby we don’t wait for people to form groups most especially when the vulnerable are in need of immediate attention.Otherwise, we would want to form organized groups of vulnerable women

We are looking at buying land and we look after destitute people and homeless children and young mothers. Our overall mission is to empower and grow commerce and

independent women in businesses that will eventually be self-sustaining while creating jobs and teachable skills.
