This book has been written by women and men to help train others in biblical leadership and practical skills in leading, especially to equip Christian women in their calling to be leaders.
In this magazine the reader will encounter articles that focus on uplifting women in persecution, humanitarian work, search for justice, church planting and concerning domestic violence.

An international team of WEA women formed a taskforce on domestic abuse. The result, this document, frames this topic as a first priority in understanding and dealing with “the immense and sinful problem of abuse”.
