PURPLE Women Corporation 

As women today, we are faced with the pressures to be perfect in our appearance, in our homes, and in the world around us. As we put our focus on this perfect image, we are masking what's truly going on. We are trying to cover up the hurt, loneliness, abandonment, divorce, loss, depression, oppression, abuse, rejection and uncertainties. Our goal at Purple Women is to teach women that our God is a God of restoration. He will restore every area of your life. Not to where it used to be, not to where you imagined it would be but to where it is predestined to be. Join us on this mission to restore all women, from young to the old, whom God loves so much!
