Crown of Beauty International

Results: Crown of Beauty International (COBI) maintains and partners with organizations and churches around the world, and with a consistent presence in the countries of Uganda, Fiji, Nepal, Bosnia/Croatia, Armenia, Lebanon, and Bangladesh. COBI trained teams travel annually to provide educational conferences teaching women (and men) their value and worth as image bearers of their Creator. We have associate trained leaders on the ground who are using our written materials to teach others God's truths. Some of these countries where we visit have welcomed recent refugees from Ukraine and Syria who we have had the privilege to hear their stories and give them hope through prayer and God's Word. In Bangladesh, COBI has a special partnership with Hope Community Church of Bangladesh who consists of eight church planting pastors in various parts of the country. Poverty is widespread and COBI has had the privilege to raise funds for humanitarian aid. In 2024, funds were received to distribute over 100 goats to 100 different families and a cow farm that provides jobs and milk to a local community. COBI also provides biblical training and mentorship for HCCB pastors and women leaders.
