Sister Valverde is now serving in the capacity of, AWCF Women’s Director and is honored to
direct our AWCF Women’s Auxiliary. She is passionate about encouraging and equipping
women to grow in their created purpose, beginning in the home, continuing in the church and
extending to their communities. Her foundational scripture is, Titus 2: 2-5 “Women are to be
Teachers of Good Things.” To understand and live this principle in our homes will create strong
families who abide in beauty and harmony. In conclusion, strong families make strong
churches.
Her daily inspiration comes through the Word of God, sharing goals and dreams concerning
family and ministry with her husband and looking forward to family time.
