Our Mission statement states:
Missouri District Ladies Ministries exists to encourage all women, (regardless of age or ethnic background) to enhance, strengthen and establish their personal relationship with God, and to strive to leave a legacy of worship, truth and evangelism.

We believe that the work we have done and events we have had and sponsored, have been in keeping with this mission and we thank you for helping us in our endeavors, to continue.  Our heart is to work, in tandem, with the seeds being sown and investments being made, in the lives of these women, in each of your local churches.

Thank you sincerely for your continued support!
