Featured many times on Channel 9, Cable TV Montgomery, Black Enterprise magazine, the Gazette and Globe newspapers, Judith Clark is a woman on fire for Christ, and loves helping people regardless of their beliefs! And she takes her mission seriously! She was born in Philadelphia, PA. She is the youngest of 4 children and the mother of one daughter, Rashidah. Judith moved to Maryland 23 years ago. Although raised in the church; her rebellion lead her to tampering with, and then later getting hooked on drugs. But the teachings of her youth were deeply imbedded in her, and Judith had a praying mother.
After many years of fighting a seemingly losing battle with drugs; years of which all evidence indicated that she would DIE in this pitiful state, and after many relentless prayers from others and from herself, she finally was able to surrender to the will of God for her life. The power of sin and darkness in her life was broken! She was able to be set free from the bondage of drugs and alcohol and stands before us today, clean and sober for many, many years!
Judith knows she was changed to give back freely. She is a woman of vision, direction and purpose. One of her favorite sayings is "My former pain is going to bring gain - to others!"
That's why she was open to the call of God on her life when He beckoned her to begin a women's fellowship in June of 2001. In obedience, and with 35 women present at the first meeting, the fellowship, Winning Souls for Christ Women's Fellowship, under the umbrella of Women Who Care Ministries, Inc. has grown tremendously. Currently in its 9th year of operation, to date, over 7,000 women men and children have attended the monthly meetings and conferences. Many have given their lives to the Lord, rededicated their lives and are now experiencing a closer walk with God and with people as a result of the fruit this ministry bears. Women Who Care Ministries is also a community outreach ministry; currently building a strong evangelistic team geared towards community activities to help those who are homeless, in transition, incarcerated, broken in spirit, hungry, and to those who simply need a helping hand, in any way. Many are joining WWCM daily, in partnership, to ensure the needs and goals of this ministry are met.
In addition to being an inspirational speaker, writer, poet and business owner, Judith is an evangelist, a mother, a sister, a sponsor to many women recovering, a counselor and a friend. She did not forget where she came from. Her humorous, upbeat, enthusiastic, passionate spirit is contagious and this attracts many to her.
Although she is celebrated all throughout the metropolitan area for her terrific comeback from substance abuse, bankruptcy, and for her phenomenal transition from homelessness to home(s) ownership, what people note as most significant is her philanthropic heart of love and service to the community.
