History

God's Woman Ministries (GWM) is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization founded by the late Christine Hall. Christine had a heart for women and heard the voice of the Lord speak clearly to her, “rescue my women from the enemy. GWM mission was established to bring unity with local community churches and also to empower women with foundational biblical studies to overcome various obstacles in their life. It was her desire to see women restored and set free from all areas of their life, whether transitioning from incarceration, escaping domestic violence, overcoming addictions, or struggling with anxiety and depression. Upon Christine's passing in 2010, her vision and dream did not end. With fire and passion to see women's lives restored, her daughter Lakia Walker picked up where she left off. Lakia created the Chances to Change: Transitional Living Program and is using the house that she grew up in as the first GWM woman's transitional home called the Safe Haven House. Chances to Change Transitional Living Program is a 6 months faith-based residential program in which participants can live in a safe environment to grow, develop personal healing, and transition back into the community. Chances to Change will provide a holistic support system that will address participant needs on an emotional, physical, and spiritual level. With the help and support of local churches, service providers, and community business owners, participants will leave the program Empowered, Restored, and Free!
