Greater Greenwood United Ministry Joins Forces With CWJC

Greater Greenwood United Ministry’s Executive Director, Rosemary Bell has been nursing the concept of starting a Greenwood CWJC site for several years now. She’s visited other CWJC sites, such as Rock Hill, studying the organization.

Bell says, she’s felt driven to bring the concept to Greenwood, and that God is making it a reality.

“I believe CWJC is important to make a difference in the financial sustainability in the lives of women and their children in our community by offering Christ-centered assistance and mentorships to women who may not otherwise have that kind of support.”

Mentoring and Teaching

The end-goal is to interrupt the cycle of generational poverty, to offer motivation, hope and new beginnings, with faith-based support and mentorship from Christian women.

The impending Greenwood Chapter has its own input as illustrated by the “Starfish” Analogy.
