Our mission is to encourage, lift up, support and empower women as they grow in their relationship with the Lord. We want to create strong relationships with each other and our church body. We want to be a blessing to our church and our community. Together we believe that the best in each of us enriches all of us.
Our vision for women’s ministry as we move forward, is to be a ministry led by The Holy Spirit, to provide for the needs of the women in our church, as well as have a heart to serve our community. This is to include helping women find a place in our church body and feel loved and accepted. We also want to serve and support the church as we are called to do. We want every women to respond when asked what church do you attend? To proudly say “I belong to First Assembly of God in Clearlake”.

DAILY DEVOTION…
God Changes People Through Prayer
Adapted from the resource Closer to God Each Day Devotional – by Joyce Meyer
In Exodus 32, Moses interceded for the children of Israel so that the wrath of God would not destroy them. It’s a stirring example that depicts how sincere prayer can change situations.
There are times when I find myself being led to pray for God to be merciful to a person, or to continue working with them and making the changes in them that are needed.
As Jesus told His disciples at Gethsemane, we can “watch and pray” (Matthew 26:41 KJV). We have the opportunity to pray for one another, not judge and criticize each other. God allows us to discern people’s needs in order to be part of the answer, not part of the problem. Remember we are not the potter. God is, and we certainly don’t know how to “fix” people. We cannot change people, but we can pray and watch Him work. When people are hurting, even from their own poor choices, they often are blinded to the truth. We can pray for their eyes to be opened and for them to truly see the truth so it will set them free. People who are hurting need God to intervene in their lives, but if they don’t know how to call on Him, we can stand in the gap between them and God as intercessors and see breakthrough as we pray. We can do the praying and let God do the work.
Prayer Starter: Thank You, Lord, that You hear our prayers. Please help me to be sensitive to the needs of others and faithful to pray on their behalf. Use me as a tool help others grow and change. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
