Questions Frequently Asked by Church Ministry Leaders

I'm so busy!  How do I promote a Seminar that other churches will want to attend?
We supply promotional materials for you to give to other churches' ministry leaders.  These materials introduce the ministry of Beautiful Womanhood and include everything needed to build excitement among women for this year-long women's program.

I want to implement Beautiful Womanhood in my church, but I just can't afford it.  Do you have any suggestions?
Beautiful Womanhood Seminars are designed to bring women together!  We suggest inviting several churches to join with yours for this event.  Two ways to off-set costs are to sell tickets for the Beautiful Womanhood Seminar or take a free-will offering during the Seminar. 

The experienced women in my church don't demonstrate an interest in church ministry and many of them work.  How can I get them involved?
Personally ask these potential Mentors to pray about becoming involved in this exciting ministry.  We trust that the Spirit will confirm the Lord's call to the older woman.  Evening Luncheons are a good option for those who work.  The Mentor requirement sheet (available online) should alleviate any intimidation the older woman might feel while mentoring younger women.  Mentor training, held at the conclusion of the Seminar, will give the potential mentor an opportunity to ask any questions she may have.

What kind of support do you offer our church after the Beautiful Womanhood Seminar?
We can be contacted by phone or email with any questions or concerns you may have.  We also have a weekly dose of inspiration and encouragement for any Mentor involved in the program on the Mentor's Resource section of our website.  You will be issued a username and password to access this page.  Above all, we want to support the Mentors for they are the heartbeat of this ministry.

Beautiful Womanhood is a year-long women's ministry program.  What happens when the year is completed?
When the year is over, the Mentor must prayerfully decide what will happen next with her group.  She may opt to continue with her group using previously covered Beautiful Womanhood material or she may use other material that she has found to be helpful throughout her years of marriage.  Another option is to begin a new Beautiful Womanhood Luncheon.
