Our Story


The Story of Ladies of Virtue is one that can only be described as being God-Led, a ministry, or a calling among other things. Originally a member of Pinky-Promise, an organization dedicated to women giving their entire heart and life to Christ, Stephanie Ballard suggested some ladies join a group on the phone app "groupme" to discuss the month's bible reading challenge. In 31 days we were to read the 31 chapters of Proverbs. Within hours the group was filled with 50 ladies (the maximum capacity).We spoke every day, not only about the Word, but about life, men, sex, tribulations, challenges, and just randomness! Slowly, He was molding us to begin to trust each other, love each other, and use each other to help us get closer to His Kingdom. A sisterhood was being formed right before our eyes.


By the time the 31 days were over, we were equipped with a strong army of God-seeking women. Facebook groups were created, new "groupme" groups developed, and every week we were introducing a new disciples to our sisterhood.

Today we start this blog as a way to keep our community as we begin to grow. I guess we can say that that we are more than pinky promise, more than ladies of virtue, we are embodiment of Proverbs 31: "Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised."
