ASSEMBLIES OF GOD
For AG Women, one of our core values is generosity. It's how we model Jesus to others based on His ultimate generosity toward us.
"For this is how God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
That's why missions is at the center of our Assemblies of God Fellowship and has taken many forms for women over the last 111 years of our Fellowship's existence. While total giving amounts are only fully known in heaven, we can reasonably conclude that millions of dollars have been given.
National giving towards Men's ministries, Youth ministries, and Kids Ministries has been well tracked and recorded. Women's missions giving has traditionally been tallied at several levels—the national level, the network/district, and local—making it challenging to track giving totals. For this reason, AG Women is endeavoring to bring clarity while streamlining national giving through Light the Way, an initiative that exists to unite women around the cause of giving.
Are we making missions a contest? No. But miracles are what God does, and impossible is where He always begins. We believe that our goals can be reached when we put in the proper ingredients, two of which are unity and faith.
What if Assemblies of God women from across the nation unified even a portion of our efforts? Our unity is essential! And if ministry to women is important to you, then giving through Light the Way should be too.
Why is this important? It unifies our collective vision and voice. We've made it simple:
What is AG Women? Ministry to women.
What is Light the Way? Women helping women.
Living a life of generosity affects everything and everyone. If we associate our giving with what we have to offer financially, we miss the bigger picture. Generosity is a lifestyle where we hold everything we own lightly. God is the One Who has provided our possessions in the first place, and when we live openhandedly, we embrace the heart of God to a hurting world.
We don't just care about people.
Caring is our calling.
In the days ahead, we plan to expand Light the Way in scope and reach. Tell your friends and shout it out...
Light the Way is women helping women.
Project Rescue
Project Rescue began in 1977 as a response to the overwhelming need in the red-light districts of Southern Asia. Since then, it's grown into a global network that ministers to those being sexually exploited around the world. We believe that all men, women, and children are image-bearers of Christ. They all deserve to live their lives freely as fully empowered daughters and sons of God. Our varied initiatives serve the purpose of rescuing and restoring the lives of those affected by exploitation.

She is Europe
She is Europe is a combined project of forty-four of our Assemblies of God World Missions women who are serving to reach women and girls across Europe. The giftings they display through each of their vibrant ministries are blooming across the region. Together their resilience is breaking through hard soil so that the message of the gospel will flourish. We are thrilled with how God is creatively using us to reach the local European, the immigrant, the expat, and the refugee. We invite you to join us and discover who she really is.
