Pastors' Wives and Women in Ministry Are Empowered Through God's Word.
The Lord in Our Helper
God is calling Pastors’ Wives and Women in Ministry to a purpose of making a difference in their homes, churches, and in the lives of each person they touch. First Ladies Inc. is designed to motivate Pastors’ Wives and Women in Ministry to be anointed Women of Prayer, Godly Leaders and Humble Servants by serving others, and empowering them to have the right influence in the lives of their families, churches and others.
We must walk in the destiny that God has ordained in our lives. Yes, there will be struggles and yes there will be test and trials, but through much prayer and fasting, we will overcome every obstacle and we can make a different in the lives of all those that God allows to cross our paths. This is an awesome and marvelous task that God has entrusted to the women in the ministry, and God has equipped these Women of God for this work. I want to encouraged each Pastor's Wife, Missionary, Evangelist, Musician, Soloist, Praise Leaders, Deacon's Wives, Ushers, Choir Members, (All Women in Ministry), to move in the strength of the Lord. The Lord God is Our Helper!

Pastors' Wives and Women in Ministry Were Chosen By God to Serve.
God has chosen certain ladies to be the wife of a pastor. I am honored that God has chosen me for such a great and awesome role in the body of Christ. God has also chosen many women to have a part in the ministry of Jesus Christ. Through all the circumstances that God allows in each of our lives, we are more than conquerors through our Lord Jesus. First Ladies Inc. is designed to empower, energize, counsel, instruct, teach, motivate and assist all women in ministry as they do God's Will.
Pastors' Wives and Women in Ministry Desperately Need Help.
Pastors' wives and women in ministry carry a heavy load of responsibility as they care for their families, their husbands, and people in the church, and participate in activities of the church and community. The expectations of the local church are very high for the pastor's wife and family. The church expects them to be involved on every level: music, Bible studies, women's and children's ministries, hospitality, outreach, etc. How does a pastor's wife live up to the high expectations of the church? Help is available through First Ladies Inc. as we give guidance to those who need assistance in to balancing life's responsibilities.
Pastors' Wives and Women in Ministry - Sometimes are Unappreciated.
Upward of 80% of pastors' wives feel somewhat left out by their mate and unappreciated by the church. They often feel overworked, unloved and underpaid. Very few ministers' wives are involved in the decision-making of the church, yet they are expected to attend, host, and/or lead many activities. They are considered an integral part of the package deal the church receives when the pastor is hired, but are not often paid or compensated or given room to air their feelings and desires. When rest is needed for the weary women who are helping in the gospel, First Ladies Inc. is available to help motivate and inspire these women not to give up on the mission God has place them in and to be Bold soldiers.

So Many Pastors' Wives and Women in Ministry are Discouraged.
Over 80% of pastors' wives feel unqualified and discouraged about their position. When they experience the expectations of the church they may feel totally unprepared to fulfill the responsibilities thrust upon them. Some wives simply decide they will stay home, away from the eyes of the church, or seek a job out side of the ministry in order to be themselves, out of the critical view of the brethren. Discouragement and burnout happen to pastors' wives and women in ministry, just as to pastors themselves. We all must come apart and rest awhile. First Ladies Inc. has a goal to build a sanctuary, a habitat, a Restoration House for all Women in Ministry to have a safe place to go when they need spiritual rejuvenation.

Pastors' Wives and Women in Ministry Need to be Heard.
Many pastors' wives and women in ministry simply yearn for an uncritical, listening ear -- someone they can pour out their feelings to with no fear of condemnation or reprisal. They long for a safe place to vent their frustrations and feel loved and accepted just as they are. They long for grace-based members of Christ's body to reach out to them and make a difference in their personal lives so that they can go back into the local church situation with renewed hope and joy. Across America and around the world this need is being met by a growing number of ministries whose aim is to help the spiritually tired and wounded. Various kinds of retreats are available to help ministry families prevent burnout before it occurs. First Ladies Inc. was established for this very reason; to give all women in ministry an outlet to come, be healed, restored, revived, delivered, set free and mature in Christ so the ministry God has given to us can be carried out according to God's plan.
