Welcome to Women of Vision-Austin! We are a non-denominational volunteer ministry supporting World Vision’s transformative work. We strive to impact the lives of children and families living in extreme poverty in the name of Christ. We are a diverse group who refuse to sit idly while poverty and injustice abound.

Join us in prayer - updated for 2025
In 2025, we're adding prayers for specific kinship grandparent families in our local community who are trying to stay together. Just like World Vision desires families to stay together and thrive, the same is true for God's people in our own community....there is no shortage of grace, love and mercy in His kingdom! Thank you, Jehovah Jireh, that you own the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10)...we release those blessing upon all Your people!

Past Book Discussions (updated 2025)
God used many of these books to help us understand issues like poverty, human trafficking and systemic oppression and injustice. Along with 'understanding' came a call to action to do what we can (to refuse to do nothing) knowing that He is responsible for the outcome. While we support and pray for those on the front lines doing God's work, our goal is to help educate others on what we've learned and invite them to be part of what God is doing to reconcile all things this side of heaven. Some of the books that have inspired us include:
Grace that Breaks the Chains by Anderson, Miller & Travis
Words that Work by McGill
The Whole Language by Boyle
The Other Side by Villalobos
I Am a Girl From Africa by Nyamayaro
The Book of Rosy by Pablo Cruz and Schwietert CollazoDangerous Love by Ray Norman
Be the Bridge by Latasha Morrison
Enrique's Journey by Nazario

From Microsoft to Brothels...
Thank you to our Free Austin Keynote speaker Margo Day who was led from the executive offices of Microsoft to the plains of Africa and the red light districts of Bangladesh and Cambodia. For the past year while on sabbatical from Microsoft, she learned we have what’s necessary to fight injustice. From the biblical story of loaves and fishes, we have enough (thanks be to God). We are strong enough to do our part in the fight against poverty and modern day slavery! To view Margo's presentation, click the "Read More" link below.
