Our Mission Statement
"Cultivating the soul through worship and Bible study transforming lives through love and dignity."
Brief History
My name is Kelly Wishart, founder and Executive Directore of Quite Enough Ministries, Inc. God revealed the vision for QE to me in the Fall of 2006 after serving on the vocal team of a very large church for 14 years. I just felt troubled by the amount of time I had spent serving inside the church without a lot of fruit to show for it. My question was simple, "Has anyone come to Jesus as a result of my church work?" Sadly, the answer was only a few. How do I fix that? I know I need to share more. Where do I go? Help me Lord.
The mission and vision for Quite Enough emerged out of these questions. Quite Enough is a faith-based non-profit organization that takes the message of Jesus into prisons, rescue missions and shelters, and drug and alcohol rehab centers. We provide a program packed with worship and Bible teaching, always providing an opportunity for people to respond to Jesus!
Quite Enough Ministries is committed to facilitating ministry groups all over Arizona for the purpose of helping people restore their worth and value through a relationship in Christ.
When people in these situations become Christians, it opens up a whole new future for them and their families.
Our Name
"Quite Enough" reflects our desire to inspire women with God’s truth about them. As girls, we can easily get caught up in this world’s limited view of beauty and acceptance. So, our prayer is that all women would learn to see themselves, not as society sees them, but as their Creator sees them. “The Lord does not look at the things human beings look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.“ (1 Samuel 16:7) God formed each woman to be wonderfully unique and special. Because of this, we are already “quite enough”! The most exciting news, however, is that when we accept Christ into our hearts and lives, He fills in all the empty and broken places -- smoothing over the rough spots and shaping us into so much MORE than enough!
Our Vision Statement
"Empowering women to embrace worth and value in restoring their moral image in Christ."
Ministry Need
Arizona boasts the nation's seventh-leading female imprisonment rate and has seen its female prison population jump by more than 60% since 1999.
"Self medicating" characterizes these women's involvement in much of their criminal behavior...seeking to escape pain and suffering brought about by abuse and neglect.
65% of all women in prison are there due to violence or drug offenses.
85% of women in prison have children- many go into the foster care system.
Partnering We Can...
Share Christ with over 500 women per month at Perryville Prison.
Pray and Volunteer to start new ministry teams.
Serve in Outreach Events: Phoenix Rescue Mission, Teen Challenge, Church on the Streets, The Dream Center, and more.
Current Donation Campaign...
We are launching a donation campaign and looking for 120 individuals, families or churches who would sponsor us for $1 a day for 365 days. This would allow the ministry to be fully funded and allow us to double and triple our ministry efforts here in AZ. Please make checks payable to Quite Enough Ministries and mail to P.O. Box 1013 Sun City, AZ 85372. All donations are tax deductible and our treasurer will send a receipt for your records.
Our Goal is 120 and we have received 5 commitments in our first week of this campaign. We would like to see 20 by the end of August. Please help us meet our goal if God is prompting your heart to give.
Also, please contact us if you know of any opportunities that you think would be a good fit for QE ministry teams.
Thanks and God Bless,
Kelly
