VALLEY FORGE, PA – Women's Ministries has produced a ministry resource for women's groups that may be easily downloaded from the American Baptist Women's Ministries website's Lulu storefront, a print-on-demand website. The resource is in response to a call for more program materials at an affordable price. The 2009-2011 ministry resource on the theme "Women…Destined for God's Purpose" has been produced in four issues over a two-year period; the final issue has now been released in the AB Women's Ministries' storefront. Year 2, Issue B of the "Women…Destined for God's Purpose" Ministry Resource is available in print and as a PDF download.

"Through this 2-year program theme, we have witnessed God at work through individual women and in our organization as we transition into the future. I'm happy for available technology to offer to women's groups instant access to a six-month resource full of program ideas, a retreat module, Bible studies, and dedication services for White Cross and Love Gift, and more," said Virginia Holmstrom, executive director of AB Women's Ministries.

Previous out-of-print issues of the "Women…Destined for God's Purpose" ministry resource, as well as other resources for women and girls, are available for purchase through Lulu on AB Women's Ministries website store. For more information, visit http://www.abwministries.org/.
