A Testimonial from Kenya
The Global Impact of Women in Christian Leadership
I want to express my sincere gratitude to Women in Christian Leadership (WICL) for the blessing it has been in my life over the past two years.
Through Coffee & Conversation and other gatherings, I have been encouraged, educated, and shown so much love. I have grown in my Christian faith and learned the importance of fellowship, holiness, prayer, and sharing my faith with others.
One testimony that deeply touched my heart was shared by Dr. Tiffany Thompson, who spoke about her healing from cancer. Her story strengthened my faith, and I now share her testimony with people here in Kenya to encourage them and remind them of God’s power.
Through Women in Christian Leadership and its founder, Jeanne Porter, I have also developed meaningful relationships with other women, including Linda Myers, who has become my prayer partner. These connections have been such a blessing to me.
There have been times when I have felt discouraged, but Jeanne Porter has encouraged me by reminding me that I am a “poster child” for Women in Christian Leadership. She helped me recognize that I am living out the mission of Women in Christian Leadership by taking what I have learned and sharing it with women here in Kenya.
By God’s sufficient grace, I have been able to bring women in my community together to share what I have learned through Women in Christian Leadership. I have also gained greater confidence in speaking to others, encouraging them, and helping them recognize their own God-given potential.
Women in Christian Leadership has taught me that we can make a difference wherever God has placed us. What I have received through this ministry, I am now sharing with other women in my country.
Because of Jeanne Porter’s vision to make a difference in the lives of women around the world, I am now helping to encourage, educate, and empower women here in Kenya.
Women in Christian Leadership has truly been a tremendous blessing in my life. I thank God for this wonderful ministry, the friendships I have made, and the opportunity to share these blessings with others.
With heartfelt gratitude from Kenya.
Being part of Women in Christian Leadership has been a gift. As someone called to raise up spiritual leaders, I deeply value working alongside incredible women like Beth Gulley who share a heart for both leadership and discipleship. The opportunity to have conversations about leading through a Christ-centered lens with women who share common values is both refreshing and inspiring.

What makes Women in Christian Leadership so special is how these women live out their faith by showing up for one another. I felt welcomed from my very first meeting, where I met a woman who became a dear friend. We even traveled to Germany together! When I faced a difficult situation at work, another member walked alongside me, offering thoughtful advice and encouragement when I needed it most.
I look up to these women for the way they lead at work, care for one another, and trust God through life’s challenges. Every time we gather, they remind me that I don’t have to navigate those challenges alone and that trusting God can bring a peace that surpasses all understanding.
