Iron Rose Sister Ministries

Many churches, conferences, and events are taking advantage of the number of this new year, “20/20” as an optometrist would say it, to remind us to have clear vision (1 Cor. 13:12), to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus (Heb. 12:2), and to focus on the unseen instead of the seen (2 Cor. 4:18). During the month of January, we will join in highlighting that emphasis, especially as it ties in with our spiritual theme for the year.

Iron Rose Sister Ministries’ spiritual theme for 2020 is “Part of the Whole” (Eph. 4:16; 1 Cor. 12:12-27).

Above all, we must keep our eyes fixed on the Whole, the I AM. In order to see Him clearly and maintain our focus on Him, we must come to know Him more deeply... know Him by His name.

We invite you to participate in an interactive small group Bible study, starting in January. The latest book, I already AM, is available through our online store, on Amazon, and also now on Kindle! This study is designed to help us keep our focus in the right place, affirm and strengthen our belief and get to know the I AM in deeper and broader ways through an in-depth study of His name.

In the meantime, stay tuned for “Our Part in Prayer” for our Prayer Month in February. And later in the year, we will explore topics like, “There is no small part,” “Christ is the head,” “Our obedience allows others to do their part,” “Celebrating the part others play,” “You are part of the one-another,” “Finding your part,” “Addressing the sticky parts,” “Thankful to be a part,” and a refocus of vision to keep our eyes fixed on the Whole.

Isn’t that exciting?! Yet, my favorite “part” of what is to come are the conversations and upcoming book celebrating Single Women as a vital part of the Whole. If you would like to join that conversation, we are still gathering research and conducting interviews, so let us know.

Thank you for being a part of the whole that God has brought together to His glory! Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your support. And thank you for your vital part of these important conversations, Bible studies, and equipping processes.

Prayer is the foundation of everything we do: keeping us connected to the One who guides our efforts and directs our vision. When we keep our eyes fixed on the Great I AM, we see more clearly the part that others play in the fulfillment of that vision, starting with your prayers!

During our Prayer Month, we are celebrating “Our Part in Prayer,” as a part of our overall 2020 theme: “Part of the Whole” (1 Cor. 12:12-27; Eph. 4:15-16). Every year, during the month of February, we join as one voice in prayer for Iron Rose Sister Ministries and all the women impacted, equipped, inspired, and encouraged through our efforts.

Our PART in Prayer
• Praise the I AM for being present with each of us individually as members of His body and for using us as His instruments through Iron Rose Sister Ministries.
• Admit that we cannot do any of it without Him, confessing Him as Lord of our lives.
• Request that God give us wisdom for where and how He leads us in the future and that He lead you in how you can partner in the vision to equip women.
• Thank God for what He has done through Iron Rose Sister Ministries thus far and thank Him that He is far from done with His work.
