2nd Quarter 2013—Abundant Joy Center for Women’s Ministries, Durham, NC
They are a new 501(3)C organization to give peer counseling, support groups, prayer and Bible study to women 18 and older.  Their services are free and they have an all volunteer staff.  Advent Lutheran Church seeded the start up of the ministry last year.  They are in need of a flat screen TV and DVD player for their classes and Bible studies.  Any leftover monies will be used to purchase study guides for those women who can't afford to buy them.  They serve all women in the Durham, Chapel Hill, Orange County area. This request was sent in by Women of Advent, Advent Lutheran Church, Chapel Hill.
