Bible Verse

OCTOBER 2026

I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters They shall not come near him. You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah  I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

PSALM 32: 5-8

Colossians 3:17 says “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Women of the Word takes that command seriously. We provide desserts to the homeless men who visit Our Daily Bread in Baltimore. We have partnered with Hope from the Heart Orphanage in Tanzania, collecting children clothing and toiletries state side and sending them to MWanza. In the past, we have worked with Samaritan’s Purse. Before COVID-19 and all its variants, we visited hospitals and nursing centers, as well as conducted Bible Study in local correctional institutions.
