The Dynamic, Divine, Determined Ladies of CEFL

The photo slideshow above showcases the ladies of CEFL who are united not by dues, positions, socio-economic status, educational level or even geographic location but simply by their love for God, their desire to be all God created them to be and their personal committment to learn, grow and be. The women here represent many areas of society: communities, marketplace, church, government, home. Everyone here wants to be change agents in this world. How fantastic is that?!! Everyone also is in a different level spiritually but all seek deeper spiritual development. While there are many organizations that are committed to women in various ways, CEFL through this site is different because we embrace a Christian worldview as we seek to help all sistahs be God's instrument of peace and change wherever they find themselves. CEFL wants to help you bloom where you are planted.

Learn from each other, share your stories, ask questions, give tips, this site is only as good as we all make it. Feel free to add YOUR pics showcasing you in action being a light in the marketplace, in politics, in ministry, doing community service and just hanging with other sister-friends for the main page. Family pics are fine for your personal page. I may not know all of you personally but pictures say a 1,000 words right?! I pray this will be your year to soar! CEFL is about the advancement of women in church and society! Going somewhere? Take a sistah with you! Got somewhere? Don't forget to look back and reach for another sister behind you. Not sure where you're going yet? Ask a sister for some advice!

CEFL has events in South Florida and the NYC area. We've been in existence since 1996. I hope we all get to meet at the events being planned, but if not, this is our virtual meeting place.

VISIT our main organizational website www.cefl.org its done!

Let me just say, however you heard of CEFL, whatever your reasons for joining, I welcome and embrace you. I celebrate the uniqueness that makes you...YOU. Sisterhood rocks!
