It's time to give the women and children of the Chattanooga area shelters a new beginning. That's what happens during our annual Project Esther. On this special day, women and children from the shelters of Chattanooga who have been victims of abusive relationships are brought in for a day of beauty treatments, seminars, gifts, and a luncheon. They both hear about and experience the love of Jesus, and the result has been life-changing for many of the women.
Even though Project Esther is coordinated by the Women's Ministry, an undertaking this size this takes the entire body of Christ to effectively minister to the women.
