"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant."   
~ Robert Louis Stevenson

TWU has been a vision since 2000 and has been a 501c3 non-profit since 2006.  We are a Christian, non-profit organization with a TWU Faculty, a Board of Directors, an Advisory Council, and a Prayer Team.  


ABOUT TWU

     Total Woman U started out in 2000 as a ministry entitled "Welcome Home."  Founder, Jenny Johnson had been leading a small group for women at her church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  She began writing lessons and planning special, theme-based events for her group which she organized into "Welcome Home."  This ministry was designed to encourage and challenge women to be who God had created them to be and live lives of gratitude and confidence.  When her family moved to the Atlanta, Georgia area in 2004, Jenny carried this message and ministry with her and she had the opportunity to host several more events for the women at the leadership training company her husband worked for.

     Jenny began feeling as though there was more God intended for this ministry.  She spent the better part of 2006 meeting with women across the Atlanta area as well as southern Louisiana in order to find out in which areas of their lives they struggled the most and who they turned to for help.  It was this research that led her to reorganize Welcome Home into what is now Total Woman U.  She had a team of incredible women in the Atlanta area who helped in this endeavor, and they were able to host a few smaller events together before Jenny and her family moved back to Louisiana.  


     Starting over in a new area, again, wasn't easy, but God soon began opening doors for TWU through the church Jenny and her family began attending after returning to Slidell, Louisiana.  Because the message of TWU was one the church embraced, they asked Jenny to begin doing events within their women's ministry.  Over the next few years, a
 new team of leaders emerged which allowed the events to grow and expand out to women all over the community and now reaches women across the southeast.  

     From the beginning stages in 2000, the vision for Total Woman U has been exciting.  It is a huge vision from God that He is in the process of carrying to completion.  He is opening new doors all the time for TWU, and as the team grows, new aspects of the vision are able to be explored.  We are blessed to be where we are and excited to see where God is taking us.

ABOUT OUR TEAM

Our Faculty is very special to us!  These are the ladies who give generously and selflessly of their time, energy and other resources. 

     Our team of leaders are incredibly talented and giving women with diverse backgrounds, educations and strengths who share a common desire to positively influence women for Jesus.  We spend time growing together as a team, we meet together regularly to deepen our spiritual walk, we challenge each other to become better leaders, and we encourage each other on our own personal journeys to become the total women God has created each of us to be.  
     
​     We started building our Louisiana faculty in 2009 and while some of the faces may have changed through the years, the faithfulness and hard work of those on the Faculty has not.  Our Faculty is responsible for writing on our blog, choosing and teaching local studies, as well as leading the other events we offer throughout the year. We also work very hard to create and produce each conference we do.  We research, develop, plan, organize, coordinate, promote, write, speak and produce each event.  We are so very thankful to each of our local churches who have hosted conferences for women and for teens over the past few years - Northshore Church and Journey Fellowship Church.   

    We have become incredibly close friends who love Jesus and want to spread TWU's message of encouragement and hope to as many women and girls as we can. 
 We pray for wisdom and guidance as we continue to grow and as God continues to open doors for TWU.  TWU is truly blessed to have these crazy talented and giving women on our Faculty!

ABOUT OUR FAITH

We believe ...

  • The Holy Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God. 
  • There is only one God, eternally existent in Three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
  • That we were all created in the image of God, and that we sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death, but also spiritual death, which is separation from God.
  • In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His death as atonement for the sins of all who believe in Him, in His bodily resurrection and ascension into Heaven, and in His personal return to earth in power and glory.
  • That Jesus did not leave us alone when He ascended into Heaven, but He sent us the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit indwells each believer at the moment of salvation and that as we yield more and more completely to God, the Holy Spirit will continue to instruct, empower, encourage, equip, convict, lead, guide and comfort all believers.  The Holy Spirit is evident in the believer's life by the fruit He gives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, self-control; by the varieties of gifts He gives to build up His body, the church, and by the power He gives to witness and make disciples.
  • Our life is not our own we’ve been bought with a price and we desire to live not as we wish but as He wishes. It was through His death we obtained eternal life. Now it is our goal to live for Him by obeying the authority of His word and His Holy Spirit. We’re not perfect, but are being perfected unto the day of His glorious appearing.
  • In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, and the commitment we share to spread His Word and to minister to the needs of one another.
Quoted from 
Billy Graham’s Statement of Faith
       “We believe in using every modern means of communication available to us to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world.”

"But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives."  
~ Galatians 5:22-23, 25 (NLT) ~
