Empower International Ministries works alongside existing ministries in developing countries to promote Christian teachings on the equal worth and potential for unity among all human beings in Christ, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, social or family status. We especially focus on Biblical teachings on love and mutual service in marriage and family.
We believe that Christ transforms all aspects of human relationships. We seek to emulate the early Christian church in:
PROMOTING loving, companionate marriage
DEVELOPING community values that eliminate sexual, ethnic, and other
social antagonisms
TRAINING caregivers
in meeting the emotional needs of abused, neglected and abandoned children
RAISING the respect and
freedom accorded women in church, family, and society
