"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world..”  James 1:27 (NIV) 

Lana’s recent loss of her life partner and soulmate, Steve, has brought new realities into her life.  Since Steve went to be with the Lord in February 2022, she has experienced how difficult it can be to live life as a widow and recover from such a loss.   Lana wants others to know that God is truly the only way to “turn mourning into joy.”   She shares the hope and healing that God has for the widow and how much He loves them.   Lana helps guide churches on reaching out to their widow community and give practical ways on establishing a widow ministry.    

The video below is to express how much a widow ministry is needed in your community!

                      Why is widow ministry needed?

                                Helping the loneliness...

                               Helping the grief….

                                     

                    Ministry to the widow incorporates body, 

                     mind, and spirit.

                         God turning the mourning into joy!        

                    Connecting with other widows for support, 

                    teaching, and growing.

You will always love and miss your spouse, 

but God is not done with you yet!
