God began speaking to me about A Company of Women in 1974, but it actually began April 25, 1996 with 9 women around my dining room table.  "Heart Friends" began saying to me, "Gather us together so we can be there for one another, to worship together, pray for one another, share our hopes and dreams from God and love and encourage one another to fulfill our destinies in Him, and A Company of Women was born."  We only have two rules - ask the Holy Spirit and do what He says - and communicate because without communication there is no intimacy with the Lord or with each other.  We also say, "It is alright to do it wrong and it is alright to do it right because God is big enough to cover it all.  In that kind of an atmosphere women are not afraid to fly because they know they will be loved and encouraged and not criticized and condemned."

On May 9, 1996 the Lord gave me a foundational word about A Company of Women.  "A Company of Leaders coming together across this land.  (Just like you, we believe that all of God's women were born to be leaders.)  Women of excellence, together we will stand.  Prophets, apostles, singers, dancers, intercessors, teachers, who can imagine such a group!  But together, upholding one another, what a mighty troop!  Can you see them, their radiant faces uplifted in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord above?  Deferring to one another, reaching out with strength and love.  A gaggle of women it has been said.  A flock of Geese, flying into the victory formation as they are led.  Flying into the wind, a fearless group are they.  For within their hearts they know, the Lord will always have the last say.  First a group here, then a group there, springing up across this land.  Interconnected together, covenanted together, with faith to reach out a hand.  To uphold and strengthen, with courage to say, 'With the Lord God, my Maker, and you my friend by my side, together we shall walk into this new day'.  Proclaiming, prophesying, releasing and applying God's healing power to all we meet.  To some around the world and to some across the street."

A Company of Women is an ever growing, interconnected network of women, who walk together in love, faithfulness, honor, trust, joy and committed communication.  A Company of Women was born out of covenant relationships.  First came a life changing covenant with Jesus 30 years ago, to be in intimate, day by day, loving communication with Him.  Then through the years He put in place many lifetime loving covenant friendships that are now an important part of A Company of Women.  From the beginning, covenant intercession has been firmly in place.  It is covenant heart relationships that will be a living picture of God's love to the world.  Covenant means, staying together when the going gets tough: an unbreakable relationship.  God is a covenant God.  As A Company of Women, this is our goal, to be united together in love, grace, mercy and truth.  To be women after God's own heart.  Women joined hand in hand, forming a circle around the world, to encompass those who have never felt the love of God.  Providing a place of refuge, worship, prayer, healing and hope for whosoever will.  To honor one another, pray for one another, protect one another and encourage one another.  To stand firm in faith, believing God for the unbelievable, the impossible and the inconceivable.  That's the kind of love that sets women free to be all they can be to fulfill their destiny.

We dislike hierarchy, separation and control, and avoid "titles".  We simply try to "facilitate" what the Lord shows us to do, and step-by-step He's been showing us how to walk in love, in His freedom and simplicity, while we worship Him and release His women to be all they are destined to be.  Religion in the past has focused on "Doing for God".  But Jesus said that the two most important things we could do are love God and love His people with a passion.  Religion is form without substance, promising love but doesn't deliver, because it demands conformity.  The Lord has said that A Company of Women will be known for their lavish worship and love for God and for one another.  It's just as important to play and laugh together as to pray together.  And God is right there with us enjoying it as much as we are, cheering us on.  Only that kind of love will bring His women out of isolation and out of the wilderness, to know they are no longer alone. 

Thank you for being "trailblazers" side by side with us!
