Mission

It is the mission of the International Department of the Church Our Lord Jesus to do a more effective work for the Lord. Its commitment is to constantly strive to serve the Lord and one another in holiness, loyal dedication to the word of God, through prayer, fasting, witnessing, consecration, sacrifice, and love.

Purpose

This department was created for the purpose of aiding this church as an organism, to perpetuate the doings of the saints in the beginning of the church; that is, to make an opportunity for the missionary women to be helpers together with our ministers and pastors in bringing souls to Christ, and comfort to those in need: To visit the widows, orphans and sick, give godly counsel in the fear of God, and teach the younger women to be chaste keepers at home, and so walk, shunning the very appearance of evil, that the gospel be not blasphemed.

Additionally, our purpose is to labor together with the brethren in establishing churches and spreading this truth, as those women in the churches of old were helpers of Paul. (Philippians 4:3)

Preamble

We, the women of the Churches of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith, knowing that God has called us into holiness and sobriety, and charity, to rescue the fallen and administer any and all help, as we have opportunity, whether spiritual or material to the Glory of God and to the honor and majesty of His great Name, now take our place in the ranks of the workers of our Lord to do our part in harvesting souls for Jesus Christ, as our Lord is coming soon to gather the precious fruits of the early and latter rain.

We desire to do a more effectual work for Christ, do create and ordain this Constitution.

“Lifting Up A Standard For The People In Action, Attitude, and Appearance”
Isaiah 62:10

Theme Song: I’ll Go Where You Want Me To Go

It may not be on the mountain’s height
Or over the stormy sea
And it may not be on the battle’s front
That my Lord hath need of me
But if, by a still small voice he calls me
To paths I do not know
I’ll answer, Lord with my hand in thine
I’ll go where you want me to go

Perhaps today there are loving words
That Jesus would have me speak,
And there might be out there on the paths of sin
Some wanderer whom I should seek
Oh Savior, if thou will be my guide
Through dark and rugged the way
My voice will echo the message sweet
I’ll say what you want me to say

There must be somewhere a lowly path
On earth’s harvest field so wide
Where I might labor through life’s short day
For Jesus, the crucified
So trusting my all into his care
Know that God Loveth me
I’ll do His will, with a heart sincere
I’ll be what he wants me to be.

Chorus
I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord
And I’ll say what you want me to say
I’ll do what you want me to do, dear Lord
And I’ll be what you want me to do.
