Quadrennial Theme Prospectus

With all that we have encountered in recent years, the Women’s Home and Overseas Missionary Society realizes that we have reached a new frontier in missions and what it means to serve this present age. Every generation has seen its share of doomsday philosophers warning us to run and hide. There is no corner where we can hide from the ills confronting the world. There is no prayer that we can pray or hymn that we can sing that will magically solve global crises. There is no government or politician that can come to our rescue, but there is a God in whom we can find refuge, and ‘Flee like a bird to your mountain’. Psalm 11:1 Taking refuge in God does not mean immediate escape from pain and suffering. It means God is on the throne and is in control and unmoved by the apparent chaos on earth. This does not mean that He is unconcerned with human affairs. It merely means that God is carrying out His perfect plan.

God implores us to rethink missions and put on garments, which empower us for any season. There is no clear road map, but God emboldens us to be active participants and good stewards of society because He always makes a way. Travis Green lifts this sentiment in his song “Made A Way.”

Standing here not knowing how we'll get through this test

But holding onto faith you know best

Nothing can catch you by surprise

You've got this figured out and you're watching us now

But when it looks as if we can't win

You wrap us in your arms and step in

And everything we need you supply

You got this in control

And now we know that

You made a way

When our backs were against the wall

And it looked as if it was over

You made a way

And we're standing here

Only because you made a way

You made a way

You move mountains

You cause walls to fall

With your power

Perform miracles

There is nothing that's impossible

And we're standing here

Only because you made a way

The journey continues…….
