Our Story
Bloom started due to the vast need in Southeast Asia. Women and girls 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 and girls in the jungles of Northern Thailand. Bloom International became an official non-profit in June 2021, and has successfully hosted 10 conferences to date. 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. People 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. The Growing Women of Faith Podcast has listeners in 22 countries and counting. We have plans to roll out women's conferences in the United States.
Mission
Bloom International exists to show in action and words the knowledge, love, power, and connection of Jesus through hosting women’s conferences, community outreach programs and engaging in female-centered service projects.
Vision
A world where all women and girls know they have dignity and self-worth.
Values
Really, all values for Bloom International stem from the core value of love: love for God and love for others. Living the value of love naturally brings compassion, generosity, and hope.
