About The Christian Working Woman

Purpose:

The purpose of The Christian Working Woman is to equip and encourage Christians in the workplace to love Christ more and to demonstrate this love by applying biblical principles to their lives and utilizing their gifts and abilities to build His kingdom.

Founded by GOD's servant:

The Christian Working Woman began in 1984 as an outgrowth of a ministry for workplace women that began at The Moody Church in Chicago, Illinois. Because of her own experiences of being a Christian in the marketplace, Mary Whelchel had a burden to encourage women and to teach them sound biblical principles in order to equip them to live godly lives in their workplaces. Little did she know that the radio program which had its humble beginnings on one station in Chicago would now be heard on over 500 stations and crossing international boundaries! Since its beginning The Christian Working Woman has become a non-profit organization currently producing 2 radio program formats, distributing books and materials, providing web resources, and organizing retreats and conferences in the United States and abroad.

Committed to God's word:

The ministry is based on the very firm and unwavering belief that God's Word, the Bible, is without error and is the sole measure of everything we believe and speak. We believe that Jesus Christ alone is the way to God and eternal life. We wholeheartedly believe that God's Word is totally relevant to everything we face today, and can give us the roadmaps we need for the challenges we encounter as workplace Christians.

Supported by God's people:

The Christian Working Woman is an independent non-profit organization, and is supported by friends and listeners. It is our prayer that God will burden the hearts of those touched by our radio and website ministry to support the ministry regularly. We have seen God meet our needs since we began in 1984, and are convinced He will continue to do so.

Powered by God's Spirit:

We believe that a prayer network is the heart of any ministry. With so many hurting people writing, calling, and emailing for help and encouragement, it is important that we have a strong network of prayer warriors. We depend upon our Lydia Circle members to continually lift our ministry, as well as our listeners, up in prayer.

We hope you'll get to know us better! You might want to consider joining our Lydia Circle. Even if you do not, please pray for us as you think of us.
