OUR HISTORY

   The Birth of Women of Worship (WoW)

At just 20 years old, Damaris found herself unexpectedly stepping into the role of a pastor’s wife—without any mentorship or guidance. She and her husband were newly married when they were suddenly installed to lead one of the local churches.

Still overcoming her own struggles and past addictions, Damaris faced immense pressure and expectations. She reached out to other leaders for support, but no one responded. Left without guidance, she turned wholeheartedly to God, seeking His wisdom on how to lead.

Eventually, in 2008,  her husband gave her the green light to begin hosting women’s classes at their church. Damaris brought raw authenticity to these gatherings, speaking from the depths of her soul and connecting with women on a deeply personal level. What began as a small group quickly grew into something much larger—a movement.

In 2011, God opened the door for Damaris and her family to move to the United States, where they settled in Minnesota. The following year, she traveled back to Kenya and Uganda, gathering women leaders to address the real challenges they faced in ministry and leadership. Hundreds of women attended—clearly, something significant was unfolding.

Upon returning to the U.S. in 2014, the Women of Worship (WoW) movement officially took root in Minnesota. Women from all backgrounds and races came together as Damaris taught on purpose, leadership, identity, and influence—not just in ministry, but also in the marketplace. These teachings unlocked purpose in women who had once thought their role was limited to being a wife or mother. They discovered a higher calling to transform lives.

In 2017, God expanded the reach of WoW by opening doors in Dallas, Texas. From there, the movement grew exponentially—hosting workshops, conferences, and inviting other women leaders to pour into those hungry for more. Many women have since been transformed, finding their purpose, identity, and power as leaders.

Now, we are ready to go global.
