OUR HISTORY
Women of Purpose International Network was started in 1999 by Rev Stella Ebegbuna. The Lord Jesus put a vision in the heart of Rev Stella Ebegbuna to elevate and encourage women to move into His purpose for their lives. The first meeting of Women of Purpose was held in Lagos, Nigeria in March 1999.
The name of the ministry was changed to Women of Purpose International Network 2006 due to the fact that other women ministries are now known by the former name.

WHO IS A WOMAN OF PURPOSE?
A Woman of Purpose is a woman who has relationship with Jesus and through this relationship she is able to find her true identity and self worth. A Woman who because of who she is, is committed to her God given mandate.
The name of the ministry is taken from the story of Esther (Esther 4:14) ".....and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther was a Jewess (God's Child) in a strange land, she got to the highest position obtainable to a woman in her days(married to the King of Babylon), a woman of prayer and action who was ready to risk all to fulfill God given goal and objective. She allowed herself to be used of the Lord to turn around the captivity of His people.
Why a ministry to Women?
Why women? In Acts 2:17-18 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:" The Holy Spirit has been poured out on all flesh (both men and women) for service.
