July/August response: Voices From the Field
Episodes Provide Learning Opportunities
by Shannon Priddy
More than 20 episodes of Voices From the Field, a United Women in Faith program featuring conversations with those whose work is supported by Mission Giving, are available on our YouTube channel. They provide a great way for your circle, unit, church, or friends to learn about how your giving is at work in the world.
The virtual conversation series features leaders sharing their work and life stories and highlights how United Women in Faith initiatives supported by your Mission Giving significantly improve the lives of women, children, and youth around the world.
This series is a way to connect with those whose work is supported by Mission Giving, including our international country teams led by regional missionaries, our National Mission Institutions staff, and our grants/scholarships recipients. The Order of Deaconess and Home Missioner program, with its historic relationship to United Women in Faith, highlights our other national activities.
Voices From the Field is a window into how your Mission Giving supports United Women in Faith’s national and international work and improves lives and livelihoods.
Live webinars, which are recorded and posted to the YouTube channel and at uwfaith.org/resources/podcasts, have been taking place since December 18, 2020.
Members from across the country responded in that first event chat.
“What a great visual of how United Women in Faith Mission dollars are used. Great leadership,” one viewer commented.
“We are truly women that are knitted together in service to all women near and far with the help of all women,” another wrote.
Voices From the Field not only shares the stories of impact that your Mission Giving makes around the world, but there is also a time to “meet” the leaders at each event. As one member shared, “I am learning so much.”
Voices From the Field was created to share the entire program of United Women in Faith and its reach around the world. Find episodes on our YouTube channel, https://bit.ly/voices-from-field, to use in your own communities, churches, circles, or local units. Share the stories and invite more women to support Mission Giving to see their impact around the world.
