Women With A Mission (WWAM)
Each assembly period a special missions challenge is adopted and promoted.
Church of God women are excited about reaching out to others and enhancing their lives. We have made dreams come true by building a dormitory for girls, medical clinics, a birthing clinic, and orphanages in Brazil and Mexico. Through these efforts, women and children have greatly benefited.

Evangelical Theological Seminary SEID (Formerly known as FATEID) Click Here for English Brochure Click Here for Spanish Brochure
The goal for the 2008-2010 WWAM project is to provide funds to build a new three-story building as part of the Evangelical Theological Seminary SEID campus expansion. The first floor will house a cafeteria and dining hall. The second and third floors will be dormitory facilities. Adequate on-campus housing will allow more foreign students to attend.
The Evangelical Theological Seminary of the Church of God or SEID (which stands for Seminario Evangelico da Igreja de Deus) has been training pastors and leaders since 1961. Women have been vital to SEID from the very beginning.
Four women from the United States comprised its first faculty Ruth Crawford, Janet Carter, Millie Crosswhite, and Mary Frances Poe. Six of the first seven graduates were women; the first Pentecostal missionary to Brazil was a woman named Mathilda Paulsen; and the current director or president of SEID is a woman named Marie Rute Silva. The Church of God in Brazil has a significant number of female pastors. Many of them were trained at SEID. Mothers are a child's first teacher. Women believe in education. Most public school teachers are women. We believe Church of God women will be eager to support theological education by providing funds for a building that will serve as a cafeteria, dining hall and student dormitories. |
