Our story
It began with two women, a Bible, and a yes.
Women of Valor began as a prayer community in March 2020, growing from a 14-day fast into a movement of faith and service. In December 2025, WOV Women Helping Women, Inc. became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Who we are
Not an organization first.
A heart.
Women of Valor was born as a heart—a heart to pray, a heart to serve, and a heart to help. What began with two women seeking God became a place where women could learn His Word, find encouragement, and show up for one another.
WOV is rooted in sisterhood, but what we are building is community: a place where women are seen, heard, valued, and supported, and where caring partners can stand with the mission.
We envision a world where every woman is seen, heard, valued, and supported—strengthened by faith, surrounded by community, and empowered to live with dignity and purpose.

It started with two
No stage. No platform.
Just obedience.
In March 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Saru Juran and Sister Rumbie committed to a 14-day fast. Each morning at 6:00, they prayed, shared Scripture, and reflected on God’s Word. They returned in the evening to close the day together.
When the fast ended, one question remained: Now what? Saru felt God’s nudge to continue. The two women began meeting from 6:00–7:00 a.m., Monday through Friday, opening the Bible at Genesis and learning together without pressure or judgment.
Two became three. Three became four. Women joined from Florida, Massachusetts, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and beyond—often inviting others who were also hungry and thirsty for the Word.
“Here, you are seen. Here, you are heard. And here, you matter.”
Born in Prayer

Still Showing Up
The prayer line continues as WOV grows in service and impact.
From prayer to purpose
We didn’t just gather.
We showed up.
Over the years, women came, some left, and some returned. Through every season, the community kept praying, learning, interceding, and standing in the gap. When a woman faced hardship, members responded—sometimes from their own pockets and always from the heart.
That compassion became action. Prayer led to conferences, regional experiences, and practical support. In December 2025, WOV Women Helping Women, Inc. became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, giving that heart for service a formal home.
Saru brings experience in hospitality, event planning, and safety education to WOV’s growing community work.
