Three Districts

Women across the nation, and in each district of our fellowship, are connecting to mightily accomplish great things for the kingdom of God.  

Find out who your district Women’s Ministries director is—and connect with her today! She will be offering amazing opportunities throughout the year, through leadership training, conferences, retreats, missions trips, and more. Visit women.ag.org to find your district director’s contact information. Here we highlight three of our district Women’s Ministries directors who are doing unique things for God, and offering creative ministry to women.

Vanessa Hall, South Texas District Women’s Director, has served three years as the first African-American director in her district, where she has aligned her ministry with the “multi-ethnic, multigenerational reach” started by her district superintendent, Tim Barker. Now, the women of South Texas are embracing Hall’s initiative called “Taking Care of the Sisterhood,” where women are personally involved in each other’s journeys and families, and truly a body of believers.

Vanessa hosts a leadership retreat for women leaders once per year; she also encourages friendship across the 10 sections of the district. “We enjoy a ‘relational’ gospel where women get to know each other, and I promote relationship-building so the gospel can be shared,” Vanessa says. South Texas offers two conferences per year, in spring and fall, open to women from any of the 314 churches of the district. Vanessa also invites women to go on a missions trip each year. Plus, she offers Project Destiny for women to become involved in missions giving.

Krista Hampton, Kentucky District Women’s Director, views her role from the unique perspective of also being the lead pastor of her church for 13 years, River of Life Ministries, Paris, Kentucky. 

Krista says, “We encourage women of Kentucky to live fully in all He has for them! Our missions project this year is Special Touch Ministries for those with physical and mental disabilities. We set a goal to raise a minimum of $10,000 for Special Touch. During our District Council women’s luncheon, the spirit of God moved so powerfully that even after we dismissed, people continued to sit in their seats weeping. After the luncheon, we counted the offering—people had given double what we needed to reach our goal!” 

Krista also offers a discipleship ministry for the women of Kentucky, called W.O.W. (Women of Worth). The three-phase program includes reading, spiritual growth, prayer, training on issues related to women, and mentoring. Kentucky women also attend a retreat during the summer that includes powerful worship, preaching, drama, and more; in the fall, Krista oversees Fall Connections one-night services with fellowship parties in locations throughout the district. 

Doris Quiros, Southern Latin District Women’s Director, believes the message behind Ecclesiastes 9:10, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.”

She is a single mother who enjoys working as a vice president in the Credit and Supervision Division of the Federal Reserve Bank; Doris is also the Southern Latin District Women’s director, and an associate pastor for Lilburn, Georgia, Assembly of God. She says, “I count all of it as ministry, knowing that God uses us wherever we are.”  

The women of Southern Latin District have a vision titled, “Equipping Women of Impact.” Doris and her team offer an annual women’s retreat in the Georgia mountains, and offer leaders training. They also are planning a “Girl’s Night Out of Worship” with Girls Ministries and youth leaders, to bring girls and women of all generations together in worship. The women of Southern Latin District also partner with Convoy of Hope for outreach.

You and the women of your church and community will be blessed by joining with other women in your district—for leadership training, fellowship, spiritual enrichment, missions trips, and more! Connect with your district director today for opportunities in your district.
