The real vision of WIMI is to motivate women to reach women. While WIMI aims to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom, part of the goal is to strengthen and sharpen women so that they might be a greater blessing to their local communities and churches. Leadership training is conducted for women ministers to lead others into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Other ministry outreaches include, but not limited to Prison Outreach, Crusades, Youth Programs, Intercessory Prayers, Business Trainings, and Charity Ministries among others.
