Women on Mission (WOM) is one of ten groups under the umbrella organization of WMU (Women’s Missionary Union) that is focused on making disciples of Jesus who live on mission. WOM provides a community where women learn to live missionally by engaging in missions projects, ministries, prayer, giving, and bible study and by using their talents, skills, interests, and spiritual gifts. Join us on the First Monday of each month at 5:30pm in the YFBC Fellowship Hall! You do not need to be a member of our church, as this is a group that is non-denominational. For more information, please call or text Kim Smith at (870) 370-0489.
There are 3 focuses of Women on Mission and WMU:
- Missions Discipleship: teaching people of all ages about the work of missionaries throughout the world; leading our church to pray for and give to missions, and taking the gospel to our community and beyond.
- Compassion Ministries: Learning about issues around the world and exploring how we can help people experiencing poverty, human exploitation, displacement by disasters, and vulnerable children.
- Leadership Development: equipping women to discover and develop their leadership gifts and skills.

- Valentine's Day - Our youth and kids (YAK) made valentine's cards for every resident of Gardner Nursing Home in Star City!
- Mother's Day Girls & Women's Tea - Saturday, May 13th - we had over 60 people present, including three foster moms, who were able to enjoy a massage. We enjoyed British tea, savory and sweet treats, making hats, painted nails, fellowship, a drama skit, and amazing worship!
Ongoing projects:
- Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes
WOM decided to collect for shoeboxes year-round in 2023! If you have items to to contribute, things we can use to create kits, or can make items for shoeboxes, we would love to have you partner with us this year! Here is a list of items needed for both the shoeboxes and to create items for the shoeboxes!
Additionally, we have an Amazon Wish List, where you can purchase needed items and have them sent directly to us!
