We Need Your Support!Our 2016 Annual Growth Group Breakfast Fundraising Campaign

Dear Friend:

There are very few things as important as nourishing the soul of a woman: our mothers, daughters, sisters and friends. Our Annual Growth Group Breakfast brings women together to be empowered to live their best lives in Christ, taking a holistic approach to nourishing mind, body, and spirit.

How can you support us? • Our 3rd Annual Growth Group Breakfast is swiftly approaching and we

need your help raising funds. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to fund this breakfast so we can extend invitations to those who would otherwise not be able to participate.

• We want to sponsor some of our senior adult women to attend and women from homeless shelters and veterans. If you are looking for a charity to donate to this year, the Women’s Online Growth Group, Inc. is making an impact, making a difference, a real and life-changing difference in the lives of women.

Testimonies

“I have been privileged to see first hand the amazing life changes through Hasandra’s growth group. The women are seeking God and growing deeper in trusting Him. This growth group has convinced me that Bible studies using modern technology can really work! God is ministering in a special way to each woman in the growth group!

Linda Dillow Best-selling author with more than 1.5 million books sold“Hasandra’s online growth group for Christian women was ‘high tech’ enough that a gal living in Nova Scotia could participate, and ‘low tech’ enough that I could participate!! ...The willingness of these ladies to be transparent was like fertilizer to my soul and poison to the pride of life. Love it!” Julie“This group has been such a blessing from God. He led me to it at just the right time. I was under such a load of stress and the class, Calm My Anxious Heart, lifted me above the storm. Just knowing there are Christian sisters who are there for support and love gives me courage to continue on in my walk.” Debbie
