The Vision
Women Organizing, Mobilizing and Building, Inc. (WOMB) is designed to provide ongoing opportunities for women to advocate the empowerment of women and their families. The WOMB Vision was given to our Founder/Chief Visionary Officer, Bishop Dr. Barbara E. Austin Lucas, in 1989. WOMB creates a sacred place for women to discern and design paradigms purposed to create wellness in every area of life. Members are equipped during an intensive nine-hour training encompassing Mentorship, Spiritual Formation, Discernment, Community Organizing, International Networking, Leadership, Professional/Ministerial Development and Activism in one of our five areas of service. The Vision and Mission provide a foundation from which global action ensues empowerment for women and their families. Membership is open for enrollment in January and July. Through annual conferences, monthly workshops, bi-annual forums, information sharing and networking, women are encouraged and supported to effectively design and implement grassroots strategies that significantly enhance their quality of life. Ultimately, WOMB paves the way for women who are destined to impact communities worldwide. Being obedient to bring the family to the place of beginnings, WOMB endeavors to birth families -- women, men, girls and boys -- who comprehend their purpose and embrace the power of the Holy Spirit to manifest destiny. WOMB has worked throughout the United States, Haiti, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo, Benin, South Africa and Bermuda mirroring the work of its New York Circle.
The Mission
Women Organizing, Mobilizing, and Building, Inc. (WOMB) is the preferred organization used by grassroots women. We heed our divine call to empower women and their families. The incorporated Mission comes alive as women are taught how to mobilize, organize and build within their communities. WOMB endeavors to enhance the spiritual, physical, emotional, mental, and financial empowerment of its constituents. Our key strengths emanate from our strategic plan and ministerial philosophy that ensures every WOMB encounter is a Date with Destiny purposed to manifest destiny. We stand in solidarity with the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
The Five Areas of Service
Women Organizing, Mobilizing and Building, Inc. (WOMB) is a faith-based 501C(3) organization comprised of clergy and lay women working cooperatively to identify and resolve mutual concerns within the home, church/fellowship, and community arenas. The resulting synergy provides the foundation for the Five Service Areas. Namely, they are:
