Empowering Women Through Faith

In a world that often emphasizes the pursuit of youth and the superficial, there is a ministry that stands firm in celebrating the wisdom, experience, and faith of mature women. The Handmaids of the Lord (HOLD) is a remarkable movement that reaches out to women aged forty-one and above, irrespective of their status or circumstances. Through its three-fold mission, HOLD is not only transforming individual lives but also igniting a ripple effect that touches families, communities, and hearts.

Personal Transformation: Renewing the Spirit Within

Life is a journey, and sometimes it takes a little longer to truly find oneself and connect with a higher purpose. HOLD recognises the unique path that mature women tread and offers a sanctuary for personal transformation. Through insightful teachings, meaningful discussions, and heartfelt fellowship, women are empowered to delve deeper into their faith, nurturing a profound connection with the Lord. HOLD becomes a safe haven where life’s experiences are shared, burdens are lifted, and hearts are healed.

Evangelisation: Radiating Faith Through Families and Beyond

The impact of HOLD extends far beyond the individual, reaching into the heart of families and communities. As women embrace their renewed life in the Lord, they become beacons of light for their loved ones. HOLD encourages evangelisation as a way of life, equipping women with the tools to share their faith authentically and joyfully. By nurturing their own spiritual growth, these women play a pivotal role in leading their families toward a more profound relationship with God.

Wholehearted Service: Bringing Glad Tidings to the Poor

True service knows no bounds, and HOLD exemplifies this through its commitment to uplifting the less fortunate. Through various outreach programs and initiatives, these empowered women bring hope, love, and compassion to those who need it most. Whether it’s volunteering at shelters, lending a helping hand to the marginalised, or offering support to the vulnerable, HOLD members embody the essence of wholehearted service. Their actions resonate with the Gospel message, affirming the beauty of selflessness and solidarity.
