training young girls to abstain from having pre-marital sex
Bishop Dr. Mary Lewallen, National Chief Financial Officer and Program Director
This is a comprehensive, community-based initiative designed to support, educate, and empower young women ages 12-25 in making informed decisions about their sexual health and relationships. Rooted in the principle of abstinence, the program offers a holistic approach to understanding the emotional, social, and health benefits of delaying sexual activity until marriage or a stable, committed relationship. Through a series of workshops, seminars, and one-on-one mentorship, participants are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate peer pressure, build self-esteem, and understand the importance of setting personal boundaries.
The program fosters a safe and supportive environment where young women can openly discuss topics related to sexuality, relationships dynamics, and the consequences of early sexual engagement. It emphasizes the value of self-respect, the power of choice, and the importance of future planning. Additionally, the Young Women’s Abstinence Program collaborates with parents, schools, and healthcare professionals to create a community-wide support network, ensuring that young women receive consistent messages about abstinence and its benefits.
By participating in the program, young women are encouraged to take control of their futures, make positive life choices, and develop a strong foundation for healthy relationships. Through education, empowerment, and community engagement, the Young Women’s Abstinence Program aims to inspire a new generation of informed, confident, and responsible young women.

OUR GOALS
Goals are set for Our Annual Events and Other Activities
HISTORY
This community services public charity and networking organization started because several women desired to get together on a regular basis to fellowship and discuss their community services assignments.
After several conversations with Bishop Mary Lewallen and Pastor Shirley Harrison, Dr. Brown while on the phone with Pastor Shirley, the Lord spoke into her spirit on Wednesday, May 28, 2014, to start “International Women’s Alliance Ministries” and so the challenge and manifestation of the vision has been moving forward from that point. This organization includes women in marketplace services including Media, Marketing, Music, Mentoring, Military and Missions. This collaboration and fellowship of women and Dr. Brown while still on the phone with Pastor Shirley Harrison set up a web site and things began to unfold. Later we contacted Pastor Cheryl in a text message. We held our first interest meeting at Holiday Inn Reliant location. And as they say “the rest is History.
During a fellowship conversation with our first National Vice President, Pastor Shirley Broussard Harrison (now deceased) on Saturday morning, June 7, 2014, we were talking about how Jesus Christ is raising himself up in the hearts of his people all over the world, and how many people want to build a bigger physical building and I quoted the scripture from the book of Matthew 16:18 where Jesus Christ said “I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” It was then that I had an epiphany about how he would do it. Then Pastor Shirley referred to the introduction of the book of Zechariah in the Message Bible and as she read it to me over the telephone my spirit leaped in agreement. This passage of text just sealed everything for me that we were moving in agreement and obedience to what the Lord is doing in this women’s alliance ministry vision. As I share it with you reflect on the highlighted text…amen. You are the temple of God.
Let’s rebuild the temple…together!
Introduction to Book of Zechariah from Message Bible
Zechariah shared with his contemporary Haggai the prophetic task of getting the people of Judah to rebuild their ruined Temple. Their preaching pulled the people out of self-preoccupation and got them working together as a people of God. There was a job to do, and the two prophets teamed up to make sure it got done. But Zechariah did more than that. For the people were faced with more than a ruined Temple and city. Their self-identity as the people of God was in ruins. For a century they had been knocked around by the world powers, kicked and mocked, used and abused. This once proud people, their glorious sacred history starred with the names of Abraham, Moses, Samuel, David, and Isaiah, had been treated with contempt for so long that they were in danger of losing all connection with that past, losing their magnificent identity as God’s people.
Zechariah was a major factor in recovering the magnificence from the ruins of a degrading exile. Zechariah reinvigorated their imaginations with his visions and messages. The visions provided images of a sovereign God that worked their way into the lives of the people, countering the long ordeal of debasement and ridicule. The messages forged a fresh vocabulary that gave energy and credibility to the long-term purposes of God being worked out in their lives.
But that isn’t the end of it. Zechariah’s enigmatic visions, working at multiple levels, and his poetically charged messages are at work still, like time capsules in the lives of God’s people, continuing to release insight and hope and clarity for the people whom God is using to work out his purposes in a world that has no language for God and the purposes of God.
What We Believe
Our Statement of Faith
We believe that the Scriptures of the Holy Bible are the Word of God written and are therefore inerrant in the original writings. They constitute the Divine rule of those who practice faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe that all Disciples for Christ are called through the Great Commission to do the works of Christ here upon the earth. We have been equipped by the Holy Spirit with the full range of spiritual gifts to accomplish this task.
We believe that in the person of Jesus Christ that both the Divine and human natures are united so that He is truly God and truly man. He is the only Mediator between God and humankind and His sacrifice at Calvary made atonement available for the sins of all who believe in Him as their Savior.
We believe that all Believers in Jesus Christ should constantly pursue a sanctified life and seek the continued fullness of the Holy Spirit. They should endeavor to submit every part of their life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in order to be led by the Spirit in their daily living.
