What We Practice
Beliefs are not worth much unless they are translated into actions. Based on what the Bible teaches, we feel very strongly about the following practices:
VIRTUOUS WOMEN WORLD INTERNATIONAL (VWWI)
& HER CORE BIBLICAL VALUES
God Honoring-The VWWI believes God is King, Savior and Lord of the Church. He holds first place in the Christian’s life and church body. He has redeemed sinful man and filled him with His Spirit. The people of the VWWI live and minister to bring honor to Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We believe the only way possible to live the Christian life is by God’s power within us. So we seek to practice a daily dependence on God’s Spirit to enable us to do what is right.
Bible Centered, Spirit-filled- The VWWI affirms that the believer’s life and doctrine must be based on the Word of God. The Bible is God’s personal revelation to man and is the final authority in faith and conduct. Since God’s Word is the only completely reliable and truthful authority, we accept the Bible as our manual for living. Our first question when faced with a decision is “What does the Bible say?” We practice daily Bible reading, Bible study, and Bible memorization. The Bible is the basis for all we believe. At VWWI, we also seek to encourage believers to enter into, and live, a Holy Spirit-filled life, bearing the fruit of the Spirit and empowered to be witnesses for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Prayer Committed– The VWWI is committed to intercessory prayer, believing that faith-filled prayer touches the heart of God and brings his blessings, power and purposes into our lives, our church, our city and nation and to the world. Prayer permeates the life and activity of VWWI.
Relationship Oriented-The VWWI affirms that every believer is part of the Body of Christ and therefore part of one another. The VWWI promotes loving and caring relationships and ministry one to another.
Unity Promoting– The VWWI is a diverse community made up of people from different national, racial, ethnic and denominational backgrounds. This is a source of strength and beauty, and while the people of the fellowship are different in many ways, they find oneness and intimacy in the Spirit of God who lives in each believer.
Vision Building-The VWWI believes that God places a personal call on each believer’s life and as a body we desire to facilitate that call so that we, as both individuals and as an organization, may fulfill that to which we are called. VWWI is a place of building vision.
Mission Focused- It is the responsibility of every Christian to share the Good News with those with whom God brings us into contact. We practice personal sharing about Christ and inviting friends to be a part of us. The VWWI exists to make Christ known among the nations. The Ministry strives to make disciples of all who will follow Christ and who are then empowered to reproduce themselves in others. Our energy, time and resources are given generously to this end.
Ministry Empowering-The VWWI is divinely and strategically placed to serve as a catalyst and empowering organism for the fulfillment of God’s purposes in the area it serves. The VWWI actively seeks to create and facilitate opportunities of service for individuals and organizations in ways that could not be realized without the dynamic the Ministry supplies. We believe in the priesthood of the believer. The Bible teaches that every Christian is called to “full time” Christian service, regardless of his or her vocation. We practice the truth that every believer is a minister by encouraging every member to find a place of service and ministry. Every believer has direct access to God through Christ in prayer and Bible reading.
