About Purposed Women
Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure; and she smiles at the future [knowing that she and her family are prepared] - Proverbs 31:25
Purposed Women is a Christ-centered ministry dedicated to empowering women to rise boldly into their God-given purpose. We believe every woman carries a divine assignment, and when she walks in her calling, she becomes a mighty force for the Kingdom of God. We are daughters of the King, the lionesses of Judah, fearless, faithful, and unwavering in our pursuit of His will.
Who We Are
Through gatherings, teaching, and fellowship, we equip women to grow in their faith, stand firm in their identity in Christ, and impact the lives of those around them. Our desire is to see women on fire for God, igniting revival in their homes, communities, and the world.
Mission
To empower women to walk confidently in their God-given purpose, equipping them through the Word, prayer, and fellowship to be bold witnesses for Christ.
Vision
To see women rise as mighty lionesses of Judah, strong, courageous, and filled with the Spirit, who not only fulfill their own Kingdom assignments but also inspire and empower others, young and old, to know Jesus Christ and spread the gospel to the nations.

Debbie Joe
Founder & Executive Director
I was raised in a Christ-centered home in Nigeria where prayer and fasting instilled in me a deep love for God’s presence. In August 2024, the Lord confirmed my call to rise and walk in purpose, leading to the birth of Purposed Women in 2025, a ministry devoted to equipping women to walk boldly in Christ and in their God-given purpose.
I also serve as a Young Adults leader at my church and work as a Manager, Global Clients and Markets. My passion is to share the gospel, mentor women, and create spaces where people encounter Christ. Anchored by Hebrews 1:7 and Jeremiah 1:4–5, I carry God’s fire into every role as a wife, mother, leader, and servant of the Lord.
Dr. Barbie Mensah
Chief Financial Officer & Program Director
My journey has been marked by divine interruption. In a season of postpartum depression, God revealed who I truly was...a woman called, chosen, and set apart for His glory. That encounter reshaped my identity and fuels all that I do in life and ministry.
Today, I serve as a healthcare provider with a passion to see people walk boldly in their God-given ability to transform body, soul, and spirit. I also serve in children’s ministry, equipping the next generation to know God’s Word and rise in bold, Spirit-led leadership. My heart also beats for strong marriages, knowing they are the foundation for healthy homes and communities.
Anchored by Psalm 139:14, I live daily with the conviction that I am intentionally crafted for purpose. As a wife, mother, leader, and healthcare provider, I believe in laughing often, loving deeply, and living with a roar.
