Our story

Our Vision

khesed · Hebrew (n.) — steadfast, covenantal love that never fails. A growing sisterhood of women in Lawton, Oklahoma — deepening faith, living with purpose, and walking together.

At Khesed Initiative, we are guided by khesed — the steadfast, faithful love of God that calls us to care deeply for one another. This ministry was created to provide women with spaces of encouragement, connection, and spiritual renewal.

We believe every woman has a purpose rooted in God’s love. Through fellowship and discipleship, we are building a community where faith grows, hearts are restored, and women are empowered to impact their families and communities for Christ.

Our vision statement

“We envision a community of Christian women rooted in khesed — God’s steadfast love — who grow in faith, live with purpose, and build one another up through authentic connection and service.”

Arcillia Miller · Executive Director

Outreach

Love in action

Practical ways we extend khesed beyond our walls — meeting real needs through borrowed vessels and shared faith.

Seeds to Success

Helping teachers care for their classrooms

This project gives our community an opportunity to bless two local teachers by helping purchase needed classroom supplies from their Amazon Wish Lists. A small gift plants seeds of love and support that grow into confident, cared-for classrooms.

Stones at the Wall

A virtual intercessory prayer circle for women

“What can I do to help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.” Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don't ask for just a few.”

2 Kings 4:2-3

She had one small jar of oil and a debt she couldn't pay. Elisha didn't tell her to find more — he told her to go borrow empty jars from everyone she knew. The oil didn't stop pouring until every jar she gathered was full.

That's the heart behind Stones at the Wall — a private prayer circle for women in the Khesed community. None of us has to carry enough faith alone. What feels like a small, barely-enough request becomes something different when it's poured into a room of borrowed vessels — women willing to hold it in prayer alongside you.

Where your gift goes

What your gift builds

Your support makes it possible for us to show up — in community, in service, and in love.

Community Events

“Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.” (Ruth 1:16)

Ruth and Naomi show us what it looks like when women stay close to each other through every season. Your gift helps make room for that kind of friendship. From Praise & Paint nights to retreats and gatherings, you help create faith-filled spaces where women can come as they are, be known, and walk alongside one another. What begins at an event becomes a community of support that lasts long after the evening ends.

Conference Sponsorships

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13)

Some moments change the direction of a life. Your gift helps us sponsor events like Pursuit for Passion, where women come away from everyday demands and step into rooms that stir purpose. You make it possible for women to grow in faith together and to pursue a deeper relationship with God, then carry that fire home to their families, churches, and communities.

Women in Need

“He has told you, O man, what is good… to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)

The word Micah uses for “kindness” is khesed: steadfast love in action. Your generosity puts that love into practice for women who need support, encouragement, and a place to belong. Through community outreach projects like Seed to Success, you help meet women where they are and remind them that they aren’t walking alone.
