Widow Strong: Fueling the Mission of James 1:27
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Widow Strong and The Widow Strong Center in Marietta, GA is an in-person & digital prototype designed to serve locally and scale nationally through dynamic widowed family support. Our Ministry Goal is to replicate Biblically-based health, hope, and healing widow support environments locally, nationally, and internationally.
