Mission Statement

and a missions context in which women help women
and men help men.

Ministering to the Whole Person . . .
CWJC and CMJC minister to the whole person. In
order to carry out Gods command to love Him with
our whole hearts, our hearts must indeed be
whole.
CWJC and CMJC minister holistically, engaging the
heart, the mind, the soul, and the body on a path
to health and wholeness.

Bible Study (Heart)
I gave my life to Jesus one day in class. These
people showed me what love really is and Who God
really is. I joined the church last week, and I
am going to be baptized soon.
I went from being a drug addict to being a
CHRISTIANwow.

Mentor Relationships (Soul)
In CWJC and CMJC each participant is paired with
a mentor to accompany the journey to wholeness.
These relationships are often reciprocal in
nature, as mentors receive a blessing from the
experience as well.

Mentor Relationships (Soul)
What a blessing CWJC is for me! It has given me
the opportunity to make an investment in the life
of another woman. I am planting seeds of hope
that will help her see what is good in her and
inspire her to see what she can become. Nothing I
have ever done has given me so much
satisfaction.CWJC Mentor
8
Job Skills Classes (Mind)
CWJC and CMJC participants learn how to use
computers, how to dress for job interviews, as
well as other essentials that enable them to
begin a vocation.
Some participants have even gone on to receive an
associates or bachelors degree from a college
or university.
9
Health and Nutrition Tips (Body)
Because so many of our participants have small
children, education about nutrition and health is
essential for both parent and child. This enables
participants to be fit as possible to hold jobs
which support their families.

2008 Dove Award Recipient Melanie Fleming
Being in CWJC was such an amazing opportunity
for me. It allowed me to gain confidence in
myself, my abilities, my decision making, and to
learn to live the way God actually intended me
to.

How You Can Help Minister to the Whole Person
CWJC Graduation

For me, giving back is the essence of CWJC and
CMJC. Giving back means that we, as a body of
believers, invest in other CWJC and CMJC sites
across the country. It means that we teach CWJC
and CMJC participants about giving back by
modeling it ourselves. And it means, that we, as
the body of Christ, support each other.
