Our Story
Bloom started due to the vast need in Southeast Asia. Women we met there were in great poverty and lacked basic knowledge in how to care for themselves both emotionally and physically. Many were victims of excessive trauma: being displaced from their countries, watching their houses being burned to the ground, or witnessing loved ones being taken from them, or worse. Many based their spiritual and physical wellbeing on superstition and even would invite evil spirits to protect them. They lived their lives in constant fear. We believe that we must care for the world’s most vulnerable and offer them true hope. For us, this means providing for their basic needs such as food and hygiene items, encouragement, health education, and sharing the gospel.
Our first conference in September 2016 started with just a small group of 44 women in the jungles of Northern Thailand. Bloom International became an official non-profit in June 2021, and has successfully hosted 10 conferences to date. Now we are serving 10 different people groups, and 25 national leaders among 3 countries. We focus on under-served or under-resourced populations and people groups.
Southeast Asia is where God opened the door for us to start this beautiful work he has placed in our hearts. Now through our organization, Women from the United States and other developed nations are getting involved and experiencing a different way of life. Those that join our mission trips are immersed in the culture and directly witness both the need for and the huge impact of these programs and conferences. Those that follow us on social media gain a greater understanding by viewing updates and posted photos. Our donors receive photos and more detailed emails showing the amazing things their funding has enabled. Bloom’s Growing Women of Faith Podcast has listeners in 19 countries and counting.
