WOMEN IN TUNE was launched, by the leading of Lord, on 27th January 2002. Eight women and two men gathered in our living room to witness this birthing!

The growth and expansion of WIT, since then, has been steady, effective, consistent and unabated. This is because the focus of WIT has been on developing a firm relationship with Jesus Christ and building character, strength and integrity in women. With each passing year, the ministry is not only transforming lives and stirring up passion for the things of God in both men and women, but also, emerging and evolving into a powerful and effectual instrument in the Lord's hand.

“Who [with reason] despises the day of small things? ...The LORD has done this, and it is marvellous in our eyes!”– Zechariah 4:10; Psalm 118:23

Like Abraham, we took off, not quite knowing where the journey would take us, but confident that God would show us the way. The only other thing we were certain of was that we were no ordinary ministry and would not be focusing on cooking, knitting, pampering, manicures and pedicures, even though, these are important and needed.

Ten years on, WIT has been launched in Ghana, Cameroon, Uganda and Kenya, and has run discipleship trainings, conferences and prayer summits in Nigeria and the Republic of Benin, touching the lives of many, many women, men, families and churches. By God’s grace and to His glory, we have developed and run several discipleship courses for women, including The Basics and Dynamics of Christian Growth and WIT Mentoring Classes. The FREE TO SERVE Discipleship Course, a strategy to recruit, train, equip and release women to fulfil the Great Commission, is being run even in villages in the nations where WIT operates! We are trusting God to translate FREE TO SERVE to Swahili and Luganda this year. Also, there is now an increasing demand for us to also disciple men and the youth, as well, which fits in our ultimate vision to disciple the whole Church!

Apart from our trainings, seminars and conferences, WIT has been actively involved in raising intercessors and mobilising intercession for the nations. Prayer is one of our primary agendas as a ministry, hence, women in the nations where WIT operates are equipped and mobilised to take on the prayer burdens of their families, communities, cities and nations. Only eternity will reveal what has been achieved in the nations as a result of the prayer agenda and activities of WIT.

To further empower women, WIT began a literacy programme to teach women to read in their native languages, which would enable them to read their bibles and other literature. Unfortunately, the programme has been put on hold due to funding. WIT has also organised several evangelistic outreaches, in fulfilment of the Great Commission. We are hoping to pursue this agenda more pro-actively in the coming years.

It is impossible for us to describe all that God has done with this ministry, but we can boldly give thanks and glory to Him that what humbly began in our living room is still alive, has grown and is growing! The Lord has been faithful to His covenant word to us, and like Aaron’s rod, WIT has “sprouted, budded, blossomed and produced fruit!” (Numbers 17). Not only are we producing fruit, but the seeds from our fruit are reproducing in the nations. Women, men and families are being transformed. New ministries have sprung up as women have moved forward to worship and serve God. Two books have been published, with a third one on the way. Yes, WIT has sprouted, budded, blossomed and is producing fruit!

We have no doubt that the coming years will see an even greater move of God with this ministry, to His glory and praise. The past ten years have been a time of foundation-laying. The next ten years will be the raising of the building... Let’s see what the Lord will do. To Him be ALL the glory! Hallelujah! Amen!
