“Generosity is more than what we give; it is a reflection of the heart of our Heavenly Father”
For Sherry Marks, giving to WiW is an opportunity to grow in Christlikeness, invest in the lives of women around the world, and participate in the transformative work of the Kingdom.
We are grateful for Sherry and her husband, Clay, whose faithful generosity of time, talent, and treasure helps make the work of Women in the Window International possible. We recently sat down with Sherry to hear more about her heart for generosity and why WiW holds such a special place in theirs.
A Heart That Reflects the Father
What inspires you to give?
Generosity is an attribute of our Heavenly Father! He gives His best, including the extravagant gift of His Son. With gratitude, I desire to cultivate even a small portion of the generous heart of the Father!
Ephesians 5:1–2 reminds us: “Follow God’s example, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ, who loved us and gave himself up for us…”
With so many ministries to choose from, what makes Women in the Window stand out as you and your husband decide where to invest your resources?
Women in the Window International shines brightly and is near and dear to our hearts because it touches us deeply on a personal level to see its leaders come alongside and advocate for women in oppressive and restrictive environments.
Women in the Window brings so much growth, healing, resilience, and the lasting hope of Jesus to women! The transformation is undeniable as we see our gifts yield great impact in so many tangible ways!
Generosity That Inspires Generosity
An Investment in the Kingdom
What would you share with someone considering a financial gift to Women in the Window this year?
Giving to Women in the Window International is an investment in the Kingdom that we can trust in the hands of its leadership because of their transparent financial accountability and the fact that this ministry’s foundation was built upon prayer.
Prayer continues to be the oxygen they breathe as they train and reproduce a movement of leaders who passionately lead for Christ in the 10/40 Window.
The reality is that this ministry has already exceeded expectations by bringing the “light to the nations” (Revelation 21:24), and I am certain they will continue!
Thank you, Sherry!
Sherry’s words remind us that generosity is not simply about the resources we give, but the heart behind them. We are deeply grateful for the faithful partners who make it possible for women around the world to be equipped and empowered to fulfill their God-given potential as agents of gospel transformation.
As Sherry so beautifully puts it, giving begets more giving! What a privilege it is to participate together in what God is doing around the world.
