Dear American Baptist friends,

Good and exciting things are happening through American Baptist Women's Ministries' Women and Girls Mission Fund. Grants from the fund are assisting women and girls worldwide through ministry projects that are helping women and girls to access education, employment, health care, safety, and spiritual and leadership development.

During the last 13 months alone, the Women and Girls Mission Fund has provided $50,890 in grants that are empowering women and girls worldwide, in locations that include Kenya, New York, Myanmar, Kansas, Lebanon, India, Republic of Georgia, Mexico, and more
Funding for these grants comes from undesignated contributions to the ABWM Women and Girls Mission Fund, P.O. Box 851, Valley Forge, PA 19482-0851.

We are thankful for the support received by American Baptist congregations for the Women and Girls Mission Fund. Your gifts provide life-changing opportunities for women and girls who may otherwise remain marginalized and unaware of God's love for them. See how and where grants are assisting women and girls.

I invite your congregation and/or mission committee to provide a contribution for the next round of Women and Girls Mission Fund grants. On the Church Mission Support Remittance form, list the contribution as a Targeted Gift to the ABWM Women and Girls Mission Fund, or send a check payable to "ABWM Women and Girls Mission Fund" to P.O. Box 851, Valley Forge, PA 19482.

Thank you for your partnership in ministries with woman and girls.

Virginia R. Holmstrom
