Sisters Who CareSM
The State Convention of Baptists in Ohio is pleased to introduce Sisters Who Care.SM This entity of the Woman’s Missionary Union(WMU®) is the new and dynamic call of African American women to join forces to make a positive impact on their homes, churches, community and all the world for Jesus Christ. The campaign provides practical, flexible, and relevant ways for women to discover how to fulfill the Great Commission: “Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them disciples...and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And I will be with you always, to the end of the age” (Matt. 28:19-20 TEV).
We Can Make a Difference
The rich heritage of African American Church women extends across the centuries. We have always stood at the forefront of movements to elevate the disenfranchised and disadvantaged among us. We stand on the shoulders of great women like Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Nannie Helen Burroughs (close and dear friend of Annie Armstrong. As we enter a new millennium, the last marks of slavery still plague some parts of our country. Some communities struggle with high rates of poverty, crime, teen pregnancy, illegal drug use, and unemployment. We know that Jesus is still the answer. We believe that with Him we can make a difference. Sisters Who Care (SWC) through Women on Missions provides a means to make the difference. |
