Women of Purpose Spotlight

    Lisa Watson

    For this quarter, we’re shining a light on a beautiful

    outreach started by Dr. Roycelyn—Purses with a Purpose.

    Her goal is simple yet powerful: to collect new or gently

    used purses that are modern, functional, and filled with

    care for women in crisis.


    As many of us know, when a woman is leaving a hard

    situation, she’s often unable to take the things she loves

    —much less the things she needs—with her. God laid it

    on Dr. Roycelyn’s heart to step into that gap, gathering

    purses and filling them with small items of comfort and

    necessity. Each one carries not just practical help, but

    also a message of love and hope—a reminder that she

    is seen, valued, and not alone.


    There’s no set limit to how many purses can be donated, and for those who don’t have a

    purse to give, donating items to go inside is just as meaningful. Every contribution, big or

    small, becomes a reflection of Christ’s love in action.


    We are women of Christ—daughters and sisters. Let’s come together to support one

    another and share God’s love with those who may be walking through difficult seasons.

    Through something as simple as a purse, we can remind someone that hope still exists—

    and that God still cares.
