Who We Are
Women of Vision of Charlotte are women linking up to encourage each other to become increasingly a people of compassion, as we “open our arms to the poor and extend our hands to the needy” (Proverbs 31:20). We are women of diverse ages, backgrounds, and circumstances. We are women who are willing to risk, grow, and change. We are women who have been touched by the love of Christ. We are women who know we can make a difference both individually and corporately, and we are willing to use our God-given resources to make a difference in the life of women and children living in poverty and despair.
We are Women of Vision
“... speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute."
Proverbs 31:8

“I want you to get out there and walk – better yet, run – on the road God called you to travel. You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together. But that doesn’t mean you should all look and speak and act the same. Out of the generosity of Christ, each of us is given his/her own gift.”
Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase of “The Message.”
