Projects We Support

The Christian Women’s Gathering annually selects one or more non-profits and/or community needs within each area where it is held. Support has included pregnancy centers, homeless shelters, low income housing programs, prayer groups, the planting of seedlings, a memorial, as well as families in need.

The current iPods For The Elderly program, established and launched from the 2016 CWG/Hawaii, will continue through a portion of net proceeds from this year’s Gathering. Please see below for all the exciting details!

And we are thrilled to add The Gideon’s International to our menu of non-profits supported through the CWG movement!


IPODS FOR THE ELDERLY

iPodspure_joyIn 2016, we launched the first and only iPods for The Elderly program on the Big Island, providing customized music on iPods for those with Dementia and Alzheimer’s.
MUSIC & MEMORY℠ – brings personalized music into the lives of the elderly or infirm through digital music technology, vastly improving quality of life. We train nursing home staff and other elder care professionals, as well as family caregivers, how to create and provide personalized playlists using iPods and related digital audio systems that enable those struggling with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other cognitive and physical challenges to reconnect with the world through music-triggered memories. By providing access and education, and by creating a network of MUSIC & MEMORY℠ Certified elder care facilities, we aim to make this form of personalized therapeutic music a standard of care throughout the health care industry.


THE GIDEONS INTERNATIONAL

Gideon_logo_colorThe single objective of The Gideons International is to reach others for Christ through associating together for service, personal testimony and personal work, and the placement and distribution of Scriptures. What began as an association of Christian business and professional men holding one another accountable for their Christian walk grew to making Bibles available in hotel rooms. Today, our ministry has further expanded providing the Gospel to people in 200 countries, territories, and possessions. Through our partnerships with local evangelical churches, lives are being changed by God’s Word.


momsinprayerlogoMom’s In Prayer International is a Christ-centered inter-denominational prayer ministry made up of moms, grandmothers, aunts – any woman who desires to pray for children and schools. In groups of two or more, we gather one hour each week to lift up our children, their teachers and school staff before the Lord. Mothers and grandmothers are praying together in all 50 states and more than 140 nations. The Mom’s In Prayer booklet and other materials have been translated into 55 languages so far! Our goal is that not one child, not one school, will miss God’s wondrous miracles as moms join in prayer on their behalf.

To join or facilitate a local Mom’s In Prayer group please contact Sheila Ringor at 808.651.1650 or hi@momsinprayer.org.

The 4th Annual Christian Women’s Gathering, held in Big Bear, CA stands out as our most emotional effort toward community support and healing… On July 31, 2004, nine-year old David Gonzalez, disappeared from the Hanna Flat campground. His remains were found the following June, with his death attributed to a mountain lion. Two years later, the Christian Women’s Gathering spearheaded and funded a Memorial Plaque to be placed in the Fawnskin Community Garden adjacent to the Fire Department, honoring David. It was a very emotional time for his parents, the CWG team, as well as the firefighters and search and rescue team who attended the memorial service. The family had not returned to the Big Bear area since losing their son. As they looked upon the Memorial, which held a picture of young and smiling David, they heard and felt the love of this community, and it brought healing and closure. What the Big Bear community didn’t know until that day, was that Mrs. Gonzalez was just barely pregnant when David went missing. Seeing the miraculous addition of this precious two-year old brought unexpected healing to this mountain community as well.
