Voice of Truth Stories
Meet Stacy Jo Coffee-Thorne from Stuart, Florida
God has a way of bringing people who help you define your purpose into your life when you least expect it. In 2021, God led me to start the Association of Christian Business Women (ACBW). In the process of chasing me down, as I ran from the idea of starting anything new, God began bringing women into my life who spoke life into me and allowed me to encourage them in their entrepreneurial journeys and their walk with the Lord. Using Romans 12:8, If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly (NLT), God confirmed my purpose and where He was calling me.
Although I had known about Women World Leaders for a couple of years, it was through the conduit of ACBW that God graciously introduced me to Kimberly Hobbs. And what an undeniable blessing it has been! Kimberly and Julie, alongside their dedicated team, are such a gift. I am in awe at how God is using them through Voice of Truth to reach women in all corners of the world with the love and truth of Jesus Christ. The encouraging words of the women within these pages uplift and feed the souls of those who choose to embrace them, and lives are being transformed as a result!
Each quarter, ACBW chooses an organization to be their “Nonprofit of the Quarter.” The purpose of this is to draw attention to the organization’s mission and raise funds to further their vision. As we selected WWL to be one of our beneficiaries last year, I read and listened to stories of lives that had been forever changed for God’s kingdom through WWL. My heart overflowed with admiration and excitement at what the Lord was orchestrating through their obedience. God gently reminded me in that moment that we ALL have a story and that He will use each one of our stories to reach others where they are, instilling hope and truth and encouraging them in their journey with Jesus Christ. I came to fully recognize, through WWL, that sharing my story is an integral part of my purpose.
I am extremely grateful to WWL for giving women of faith a platform to share and uplift other women across the globe. Thank you for making that possible, and may God continue to bless WWL’s ministry in their endeavors to enrich countless lives for many years to come!!
