GWP supporters are encouraged to invite the steering committee to meet in their churches for a weekend, in order to introduce local women's fellowships to GWP, to work with other churches, and to get more people involved in global issues. GWP has a presence each summer at Annual Conference. GWP produces a newsletter twice annually, reporting on current projects, inviting reflection regarding our mission, and sharing stories and events that inspire us to live out our mission. Perspectives Throughout most of the world, women shoulder the responsibility of family support. They provide the food, fuel, and water, and often the family income.
Women sustain and perpetuate the lives of their families, their communities, and their countries.
But women have been left out of the development process in many countries. Indeed, as technology and training have been provided for men, as farm land has been taken over for cash crops, as natural resources have been depleted by the development process, women's lives have worsened. The gap between materially rich and poor countries also worsens the lives of many women. Over-consumption in the United States is directly linked to the poverty, oppression, and injustice perpetrated on our sisters in many countries. Barriers between women and men, rich and poor, black and white, are broken down in Christ.
