“...I am the vine; you are
the branches. Those who
remain in me, and I in
them, will produce much
fruit. For apart from me
you can do nothing." |

 God has led us in understanding that our
Women’s Ministry should have a new look; that
He was the one who provided for the growth of our Women’s Ministry. He is the Vine,
with a branch producing the Women’s
Ministry of Fortified with fruits of Age
to Age, Events, Prayer, Merge, Outreach/Encouragement, MOPS, Bible
Study, and Worship.
Won’t you join us in remaining in
Him, abiding in His grace, love and
provision in all things and allowing Him to produce much fruit He has prepared
you for such a time as this. If He
is leading you to be a part of our
Women’s Ministry at Fortified please
give one of us a call, email or catch us
at church and let us know. We are here
to serve Him and to do what we can
through Him to serve the ladies of Fortified
Hills.

The Women's Ministry is excited about the studies that we
will be offering this year.
The first
class we will be offering this fall is entitled:
One in a Million: Journey to
Your Promised Land. This study by
Priscilla Shirer will take women on a
journey of charting the direction for
their own spiritual lives. Charlene
Drummond will be leading this class
on Wednesday evenings beginning in
Mid-August.
Information about future Bible Studies will be coming soon.

you in your walk with the Lord. Please let you prayer needs be known by placing your prayer request in the
Prayer Box on the Women's Ministry table.

“Declaring God’s love and faithfulness to all generations” Psalm 89:1
- His Command…Jesus said “go and make disciples”. Age to Age is based on the instructions found in Titus 2:3-5 (NCV) which states, “Teach the older women to be holy in their behavior, not speaking against others, or enslaved to too much wine, but teaching what is good. Then they can teach the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be wise and pure, to be good workers at home, to be kind, and to yield to their husbands. Then no one will be able to criticize the teaching God gave us.
- Their Need… is a spiritual cry among the women of this generation to be shown “how to live the Word of God”.
- Their Struggles…are feeling lost in the clamor of the church. Many who once were spiritually strong are voicing a desire to be refreshed and strengthened in their walk with the Lord.
- Our Purpose… is to be faithfulness to God’s instruction to “declare God’s love and faithfulness to all generations”.
- Our Confidence… is found in the promise of Isaiah 61:9 – “Their descendants will be known and honored among the nations. Everyone will realize that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”
- His Mentors…are women who are more spiritually mature from years of experience and faithfulness to God.
- His Mereas…are the recipients of a mentor’s counsel, prayers, teaching and encouragement.
- Our Pastor’s opinion… “Jesus set the example of how to do ministry when He spent most of His time teaching His disciples. The Master plan of evangelism is mentoring. We follow Jesus’ example by reproducing ourselves in others. The Christian life is “Caught” as you get around someone that has that spiritual commitment to Jesus. For that reason, I whole-heartedly endorse the Age to Age Mentoring Ministry” – Dewey Davidson, Sr. Pastor, FHBC.
- A Mentor’s Opinion… “If you want to see the hand of God in your life, I would strongly encourage you to prayerfully consider entering into a mentoring relationship. You’ll be amazed at how God will use the relationship to take you to a whole new level of faith in Him” – Tiffany Frachiseur.
- A Merea’s Opinion… “Age to Age is about sharing the jewels of Christ with those who come after us: parading the Crowns of the Holy Spirit before a crowd of one – a precious merea, who might one day join in the procession of giving and receiving the Holy Treasure of Christ“ – Felecia Ligon.
- Your involvement… is offered twice a year. Sign-up is in January and June. Each session lasts 6 months and begins with an informational meeting for more information and a time for questions and answers.
Be sure to read the Age to Age article in the Women’s Ministry Newsletter.
