WHEN WOMEN COLLABORATE, MIRACLES HAPPEN
The Chicago Chapter of Women's Federation for World Peace (WFWP) and the Love Train Ministry joined the American Clergy Leadership Conference (ACLC) in a historical collaboration on March 28, 2015 at the Greater Harvest MB Church. This phenomenal group of women merged to re-ignite the presence of Women In Ministry (WIM), which is a project of ACLC, for the Chicago and Midwest area.
In keeping with the program theme, "Women United in Heart for the Family," prominent clergy, civic leaders, and diverse communities were represented. This event was strategically orchestrated by Evangelist Greta Myers, Founder of Love Train, Sister Carried Tonkumoh, the Family Church, and Minister Fannie Smith, WFWP, in conjunction with a great team of volunteers. Sister Claudette Muhammad, Nation of Islam, served as hostess and greeter.
WFWP and WIM sister chapters were represented from Michigan, New York, Oklahoma, Washington, D.C., and Indiana. Min. Reiko Jenkins and Rev. Marilyn Kotulek, WIM Chairpersons, are leading a four-state project (Illinois, California, New York, and Oklahoma) to inspire women to promote true families and the life motto "living for the sake of others," centering on a living relationship with God.
The nearly 100 guests were totally absorbed by the presentations by Rev. Bell of Rev. and Mrs. Moon's Principles of Peace and the group discussions that followed; the entertainment by Family Church Japanese Choir, the Artist Black Pearl, and Evangelist Rita Pritchett. It was a time to remember.
A diverse culture of women elaborated on topics including: Rebuilding Marriage & Family, Restoring the Community, Nation, and the World. Positive feedback from our guests reflected the diversity of speakers and how each was unique in approaching issues impacting families.
Apostle Glenda Phillips-Lee, who came from New York, Rev. Joy Sigur Ramza, Evangelist Belinda Martin and Elder Barbara Holmes, the keynote speaker, brought it all home for a full day of enlightenment and the sharing of personal testimonies. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that when women collaborate, miracles happen!
Women united in heart for peace
