South Atlantic Women’s Ministries Makes a Difference
The Women’s Ministries Department at Shiloh Church in Smyrna, Ga., held an “End it Now” Sabbath program. End it Now is an initiative to raise awareness and advocate for the end of violence around the world.
April Smith, women’s ministries director for South Atlantic Conference, was the guest speaker for the Sabbath service. She spoke on the “Great Cover Up,” sharing reasons why victims remain silent, and ways the Church can be a safety net for victims in need.
The afternoon program featured an impactful skit, “Dirty Laundry,” led by Darlene Sheardon, who shared the many emotions and trauma women hold in their hearts due to what they experience in their homes as victims of domestic violence.
Attendees left empowered and challenged to identify ways their church can address domestic violence and END IT NOW. The day was planned by Valena Marsh-Ferrier, Shiloh’s women’s ministries leader.
Smith was also the guest speaker for a joint venture with the West End, Mt. Olive, and Atlanta North churches. As South Atlantic’s women’s ministries director, it is her goal to equip women to do evangelism in 2025. She, along with other women’s ministries leaders from around the Conference, attended the Southern Union Women’s Ministries Evangelism Training in spring 2024. The attendees left empowered and ready to assist churches in conducting powerful soul-winning evangelism in 2025.
