Our mission is to help students discover, build, and start living a life of greatness. We desire to walk alongside students as they discover God’s plan and purpose for their lives. We hope to train young people to see that their faith is not limited to their own “personal walk with jesus,” but that Jesus Christ wants to influence and reign over every area of life. All of life is spiritual – including our interests, relationships, talents and career. We want to help students develop in all areas of life so they might glorify God and advance his kingdom through their lives. We don’t believe going to church, praying, or being in the mission field is “more spiritual” than becoming an engineer, artist, teacher, or business leader. We want all of God’s people to know how they can serve him in the field in which God has called them to serve and live.

The Christian Cosmetology International Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit outreach ministry to the Beauty Industry. The mission is to pray, intercede, and to empower Cosmetologists physically, mentally, financially, and spiritually to achieve their highest level. To support Cosmetologists who are physically and or mentally disabled due to accidents or mental illness. To provide living benefits, which include terminal illness, critical injury, chronic illness, and pre-need cremation, funeral, and burial plans. To help Cosmetologists plan and prepare for a solid future by offering life insurance products and retirement strategies for legacy building. To equip Future Professionals with the tools needed for Growth and Personal Development for a successful career. To support the Cosmetologists who have special needs by giving back to the lives of individuals who have unselfishly shared their gifts and talents to beautify and edify the world. My passion for the Beauty Industry began over 50 years ago when I acquired my cosmetology license. My vision became clear when I accepted the call from God to attend the Apostle Frederick K C Price School of Ministry. Upon graduation with honors, I received my ministry license and ordination from, the late, Apostle Frederick K. C. Price and my Honorary Doctorate from St. Stephens Bible College. Ultimately, my profession and ministry were ordained to assist Cosmetologists in successfully orchestrating their lives and careers to ensure they avoid burnout and do not end up mentally, physically, financially, and spiritually bankrupt. After I became a licensed insurance agent, it made me aware of the importance of Cosmetologists planning ahead for a healthy and secure future. Statistics say that 50% of Americans retire broke because of improper preparation. I have personally experienced the pitfalls of being unprepared for the inevitable. Meaning that your body can only withstand so much trauma and misuse before it breaks down physically and mentally unless it is been cared for properly. To live in harmony with a balanced lifestyle, your spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, and financial stability are all learned and practiced good behaviors. That can only be taught by an expert like myself who lived through the ups and downs of my life and career as a Beauty Industry Professional. My vision is clear for the (CCIA)Christian Cosmetology International Association. It is a marketplace ministry whose purpose is to serve Cosmetologists and Beauty Industry Professionals as an opportunity to fulfill the calling of God upon my life and ministry. My goals are to use my experiences, gifts, talents, and skills collectively to enhance, enrich, empower, and impact the lives of Cosmetologists worldwide. Mark 16:15...Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (cosmetologists)...John 8:31 You are my disciples indeed. We welcome, thank you, and appreciate your prayers and financial support. Love Joy and Peace, Dr. Stella Spicer Founder Est. 1987-2022 Website: www.christccia.org

We aim to co-create one million jobs for women in rural India. A job means an income, economic autonomy and an escape from the cycle of poverty. We are pursuing our mission by providing business knowledge and mentoring to Indian social entrepreneurs that mainly employ women. By doing this we are accelerating the growth of their organizations and thereby co-creating more jobs for women in rural India. This is done through mentoring of the CEO/management and by providing series of interactive workshops with teams. We also bring together multiple business partners facing similar issues with a view to share best practices and look for collaboration opportunities among partners. Next to working with these enterprises, we provide the same - but on a much larger scale - to state governments on developing their women entrepreneurship programs. The aim is the same: improving the business of Indian social enterprises, so more products will be sold, thereby creating more jobs. Thus, we co-create lasting impact. Based on the need assessment and gap analysis we jointly prioritize the topics of workshops with our business partners. We have no standard solutions. Each enterprise has its own specific challenges. We have a tailor-made approach and call that 'craftsmanship in consultancy'. We believe in long-term relationships; therefore, we aim to work together for a minimum of three years. The uniqueness of the Women on Wings approach is that we fuse global knowledge and local implementation. Our experts, who work pro bono, share their 15+ years of professional experience in e.g. marketing, social media, finance, organizational management, product development, production, retail and supply chain management. Our business partners always need to own all plans that we jointly develop. Therefore, Women on Wings' experts facilitate the partner with their business knowledge, but only the business partner and its team are responsible for implementation of the plan. We are always there to jointly provide solutions to bottlenecks that may arise during implementation.
