Is the economy improving? Some say yes, some say no. For those feeling the difficulty of a financial crunch, it can be a lonely and trying time. An organization in Lexington, Kentucky, is helping to remedy such situations by providing support in good times and bad.

That group, Christian Business Women United (CBWU), is a group of business women who meet monthly for fellowship, to praise God, and provide support for each other. The non-denominational CBWU states as it’s purpose, “to put God first, then our families and businesses, and encourage a commitment to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We want the light of Jesus within us to shine like a beacon in the workplace.”

The group was started in 2006 by Lexington businesswomen Rhonda Bartlett (RB Design Studio) and Janie Moores (BJM Staffing). According to Ms. Bartlett, “I was going through a difficult financial time in my business and went to Janey and asked her to pray for me and my business.” The two then agreed that there was a great need for a group that provided just such support. It was then that CBWU was born.

If you are a businesswoman, not necessarily a business-owner, but involved in the business world in any capacity, it is a fantastic group. We’ll have more about CBWU tomorrow. In the meantime, if you would like to contact them to learn more, visit their website or call 859-278-0313.
