Our History
In 1989, International CWM (www.cwmhope.org) was founded by Reova Meredith who felt called by God to comfort and encourage other women. Since then, the international ministry has grown to a network of over 30 centers.
In 2012, Beth Benham, a former ICWM volunteer, saw the need for a center in the Durham/Chapel Hill area. Out of her desire to offer hope and encouragement to women from all walks of life, she founded Abundant Joy CWM in Durham.
