This is a call to the women of the Seventh-day Adventist Church by Heather-Dawn Small, worldwide director of Women's Ministries:
I Will Go is a rallying call to every member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church to be part of Total Member Involvement. It is a call to mobilize our resources efficiently and productively, to be flexible, and to answer God's call to put aside our own plans and move in whatever direction He calls us to go.
Women's Ministries embraces the Seventh-day Adventist Church's 2020-2025 world theme—I Will Go. We have added to it three words, "Reach My World," and it becomes I Will Go Reach My World.
Reaching your world is to touch the heart and lives of someone in your center of influence, whether it be your own family, friends, neighborhood, or workplace.
Reaching your world is to show and tell the world the good news of the Savior.
Our Women's Ministries mission statement emphasizes that we are called to NURTURE our sisters, to EMPOWER them for service, and then to focus all that we have learned on OUTREACH to others.
I Will Go points to the importance of
We are each called, first to accept the gift of salvation that God so freely has offered us, then to live each day allowing the love of Christ to flow through us, and finally to reach out and touch and make a difference in our world with that love.
I will go reach my world. What about you?
If we unite in purpose and reach our individual worlds, we will together reach the whole world.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"—Isaiah 6:8, NIV

The Women's Ministries Department wants to help women all around the world to put their gifts at the service of the Lord by providing resources, ideas and encouragement.
Just as people love to see beautiful flowers and enjoy their scent, Christian Women should be a sweet aroma to the Lord, making those around us happier.
"For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing." 2Cor 2:15 NIV

A project for girls, teenagers and young women from the age of 12 upwards.
It is so important that young women find a home in our churches, a place where they can address special questions dealing with their day-to-day lives. They have so many questions and we should try to help them find good answers.
An initiative of the German speaking countries (D-A-CH).

We hope that this information will help you understand the Women's Ministries Logo and its use.
Some recent changes have been made to our logo.
The logo depicts four women of varying ethnic backgrounds. These women represent not only the inclusiveness of Women's Ministries but also represent some of the objectives of Women's Ministries.
The Logo is to be used only to identify the Women's Ministries Department of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.
Women are always in action somehow. On this page we want to present interesting facts and projects of the Women's Ministries Department that might be something you want to be involved in.
The motto of the First Inter-European Division Women's Ministries Congress held in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, September 05-08, 2014, was "Women in Action". Women are always active in different ways and areas.
To help women find healthy self-esteem and a personal relationship with God and with women in society. This has been the main emphasis since the department was established in EUD
Leadership seminars are offered in which women are encouraged to learn about the different women's needs. They provide necessary tools to reach out to women in church and society. The Leadership Certification Program in 4 levels (with a certificate and 30 credit points from Andrews University) is one of the department's helpful tools. This has been the main emphasis in EUD since 2010.
Concentration on all three areas will continue, but outreach is the main emphasis since the Congress "Women in Action" in 2014. The intention of this congress was to provide women with inspiration for the important task which is:
"When a great and decisive work is to be done, God chooses men and women to do this work, and it will feel the loss if the talents of both are not combined." Ellen White, Evangelism, p.469
Women have always played an important part in the work of the church, even in biblical times. In the history of the Adventist church women have served in almost all capacities, filling a wide variety of roles. Each of these women is important in her own right. Thousands of other women could and should be mentioned. Still today, distinguished women are often unknown and unmentioned.
We would like you to meet some of the women who have made an impact in our church:

One of the pioneers of Women's Ministries in Europe and particularly in the German-speaking countries is Ingrid Naumann. She has written her biography "Umarme das Unmögliche" (Embrace the Impossible). The book includes a lot of information about how Women's Ministries began in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Sicily and Uzbekistan.
