Two Are Better Than One

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Volunteers and Mentors needed for Christian Women’s Job Corps

Are you looking for a way to use your gifts and skills to glorify God? Are you an encourager? Do you enjoy teaching and guiding others? Christian Women's Job Corps has a place for you! Apex Baptist Church has partnered with CWJC by offering classroom space for our life and job skills classes and bible study. We have many volunteer needs to get this site going at your church.

One of the key elements to the CWJC ministry is the mentor relationship. A mentor helps a woman in need through encouragement, goal setting, listening, modeling Christ like behavior and holding the participant accountable to their goals. A mentor is not a baby-sitter, financial supporter, taxi driver or a genie available to fix problems. This relationship and ministry is designed to help empower and equip a woman in need in her quest for economic self-sufficiency and in developing a relationship with Jesus Christ. Get involved and allow God to equip you to serve Him through serving others!

CWJC volunteer needs:
• Mentors to attend class & mentor a woman in the program (training provided)
• Class leaders to teach budgeting, parenting, stress management, etc (materials provided)
• Bible study leader (material provided)
• Leaders willing to serve as teacher and on site mentor in small groups (this model is used when we do not have enough mentors for each woman in the program)
• Get a group of friends together to provide lunch on class day
• Child care workers

If you are interested in volunteering or mentoring or want to know more about what is involved please contact Cynthia Thelen at 231-3995 x 113. Phase I classes begin Thursday, Sept. 30th 9:30-1:30 at Apex Baptist Church. Please call ASAP to learn more and get involved.

You will be amazed at how God can work through and in your life as part of this ministry!
