of the Woman’s Baptist Educational and Missionary
Convention of South Carolina
Greetings Young Woman’s Auxiliary,
How delighted I am to encourage and greet you on behalf of the Young Woman’s
Auxiliary of the Woman’s Baptist Educational and Missionary Convention of South Carolina (WBEMCSC). It has been both an honor and a privilege serving as the President of the Young Woman’s Auxiliary over these last four years. It is so remarkable to see just how much we have accomplished with this administration. God is truly blessing the young women of this great convention. The future looks promising and our young women are committed to carrying our mission and ministry forward into this next generation of leadership.
Our theme for 2025 is “Strengthening and Equipping Young Women for the Glory of God”. Our theme is based on the scripture Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
We must continue to move higher, expand our ministry mindset, and be open to change to serve this present generation of young women. We have a dynamic ministry of young women with gifts and talents to help us as we go higher in service to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Thank you for all you are doing to support the Young Woman’s Auxiliary in your local church, District, and Association. I embrace the opportunity that God has given me to serve as your president. I will continue leading and serving in the capacity of where the Lord leads and guides me.
In God’s Embrace,
Mrs. DeAnna Wages, President
Young Woman’s Auxiliary of the Woman’s Baptist Educational and Missionary Convention of South Carolina
