If you are a woman who has been feeling the need to talk to another Christian woman who has "been in your shoes", and with God's help, make it through; and wants to support and encourage you as a mentee at this time in your Christian life...

As Scripture says: "Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home; to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the Word of God." Titus 2:3-5.
By equipping women to lovingly and supportively train younger women through biblical lessons and a weekly sharing time together, Apples of Gold preserves traditional values. It rebuilds marriage relationships, offers insight on overwhelimg parent-child relationships and emphasizes the importance of spiritual development. Working together with Focus on the Family, Apples of Gold is building up mothers, marriages and lives worldwide.
