Learn to do right; Seek justice, Rebuke the devourer; Defend the fatherless; Plead the case of the widow. Isaiah 1:17
Greetings Friends and Partners!
I love the above scripture as it has brought guidance to the mission and vision of International Women’s Ministries for 11 years now! God gave Isaiah a vision and it was to the tribe of Judah. God was calling them back to their first love once again.
The Lord was instructing Judah that taking care of the poor and disadvantaged was doing what was right! This is how you REBUKE THE DEVOURER. The fight against the devourer (the devil) is done by the mighty acts of kindness, love and giving that comes from a deep abiding relationship with THE KING OF KINGS. (John 15)
IWM has the opportunity on a daily basis to rebuke the devourer in many countries. In Pakistan we are helping rebuke the devourer by distributing Bibles, holding women’s outreaches, and rescuing women from slavery.
WE REBUKE THE DEVOURER IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
In India we just helped a missionary escape death. She is now in a safe house until things cool down.
WE REBUKE THE DEVOURER IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!
In the Philippines we just helped a pastors’ wife start a small business to support her family. Her husband was paralyzed by a stroke.
WE REBUKE THE DEVOURER IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!
We sowed into ministries in Nicargua, El Salvadore, and ministries that rescue children. We have given life saving surgeries to orphans.
WE REBUKE THE DEVOURER IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!
Yet there is so much more to do…so much more. It settles on my heart daily to be sober minded and vigilant because the devil walks around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour but I remind myself that our God is a mighty God and He chooses us to fight the spiritual battles on our knees, with our resources and our voices.
The whole armor of God is required for the work ahead. (Ephesians 6) I believe revival is coming to the nations and the warrior women missionaries will bring it! We must work together to rebuke the devourer and snatch souls out his clutches.
As you are considering the day of giving, I hope you will plan for our work. Giving Tuesday is November 30th. Its a day to give to your passions! I pray IWM will become one of your passions.
Plans in the making…
- Trips to Guatemala, Nicaragua and Honduras
- Working with John 3:17 Ministries for women with addictions.
- Continuing to distribute Bibles in Pakistan
- Working with Afghan refugees
- Medical missions in the Philippines
- Rescuing children from sex slavery in the Philippines
- Continuing to work with Muslims in India

Join us in our stance of REBUKING THE DEVOURER!
With Love,
