WOW What do you mean?

Confession, I love words and their meaning. Take the words WOW and Initiative for example:

Etymology of the Word Wow

Wow -1513, Scottish interjection, a natural expression of amazement. The verb meaning "overwhelm with delight or amazement" is first recorded 1924, American English slang used as a noun meaning "unqualified success" since 1920.

Wow is a word used to express strong emotion. Words used to help explain the meaning of wow include, incredible, amazing, awesome, a winner, and sensation.

The WOW Initiative of the USA Western Territory is an effort by the Territorial Women’s Ministries Department to encourage our women officers, soldiers and employees to grab hold of and understand the amazing potential of women’s ministries. Commissioner Pat Swyers, the Territorial President of Women’s Ministries from the west has challenged us to pray about what we can do to Win Other Women for Jesus and to Win Our World for the sake of the Kingdom of God.

We already have the structure and the tools to accomplish great things for God. Now we need the will and the desire to do something.

Initiative is the ability and tendency to initiate, to start an action, including coming up with a proposal and putting it into action.

The success of WOW Initiative depends on individuals to choose to answer the challenge and to act on it. The vision has been cast by our leader. How will we respond?

Women overcoming World (values and behaviors) to win other women for Jesus sake!
