women and men help men.

Mission Statement

Ministering

to the Whole Person . . .

CWJC and CMJC minister to the whole person. In order to carry out God’s 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)

*Mentor relationships (Soul)

*Free job skills classes (Mind)

*Health and nutrition tips (Body)

Learning the

of CWJC and CMJC

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 CHRISTIAN—wow.”

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

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 associate’s or bachelor’s degree

from a college or university.

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.

graduate. It recognizes the outstanding

achievement of a woman who has

2006 Dove Award Recipient Patrice Oats

“I knew I needed to make some changes in my life.” Patrice Oats needed job skills. She needed academic

development. And, she needed a Savior. When Patrice walked through the doors at Christian Women’s Job

Corps (CWJC), she found all that and more.

Jean Cullen, missions involvement

specialist, Woman’s Missionary Union®

“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.”

CWJC registered or certified over 167 CWJC and CMJC sites.

In 2005, CWJC/CMJC served 2,271 participants.

CWJC/CMJC used over 13,000 volunteers.
