Women are Gold is a nonprofit community center located in Kampong Cham, Cambodia. 
This is a safe place where young women and girls who are at risk for trafficking, or who have been victims of trafficking, can come together to connect, learn, and create new opportunities for themselves and their families. 

The purpose of the center is to help community members gain new skills and empower them with continuous education opportunities to alleviate poverty, find better employment options and prevent human trafficking. 

Our vision is to use the community center as a springboard to identify community needs. It is our desire to partner with other organizations, churches, individuals, businesses and government officials to create solutions to address those needs. Education, partnering and collaboration are key components of our strategy. 

We realize we are not able to address all of the root causes of trafficking and poverty on our own; instead, our goal is to work together with other like-minded Cambodian and foreign stakeholders and use our collective expertise to truly make an impact.

The LIT Movement was started as a grass roots way to help addicts and alcoholics through a shoulder-to-shoulder approach. The movement began a few years ago as a weekly meeting to help other struggling addicts find new hope in a relationship with God and obtain practical resources to ensure a setup for success in their new journey to wholeness. Today we operate 3 of our own recovery homes in Cincinnati.

The LIT Movement is a recovery ministry that funnels the lost and broken into a community that fosters transformation. 
 
We currently serve the greater Cincinnati area. We have 2 houses in Lower Price Hill and a 3rd home in College Hill. We also provide a diverse range of resources within the Greater Cincinnati Area. Some of our partnerships include local churches and other non-profits, the Justice Center, Hamilton County courts, Cincinnati Police Department, and local treatment centers.

Team Hope, founded by Jonathan “JC” Cody, is Shiloh’s outreach to those in need in downtown Cincinnati.  From April – November, members of Team Hope show up every other Saturday at Piatt Park, across from the main branch of the Cincinnati Library, to offer fellowship, prayer, worship, and a restaurant-quality hot meal to anyone in the park.  

Members of Team Hope include people from Shiloh, the Knights of Valor Motorcycle Club, and other churches.

Nuru Ya Mapendo is Swahili and translates “Love’s Light”, a holistic ministry to people of the District of Kasenga, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Africa. We model Jesus, who first met people’s physical needs and then ministered to them spiritually. The ministry embraces and teaches sustainable growth practices related to food and animal production in order to improve quality of life, while also ministering to the spiritual needs of the recipients. The ministry comes alongside the Kasenga District of the United Methodist Church to support and encourage pastors, to share the Good News, disciple new believers and to grow the Kingdom of God.

Shiloh’s newest partner is Tiny Homes for Humanity.  Located at Gaines United Methodist Church in Madisonville, Tiny Homes is a brand-new community of 14 tiny homes for homeless veterans.  This exciting project will help make a real difference in homelessness in Hamilton County and is truly making a difference in the world.

As a foundational partner of Tiny Homes, Shiloh is dedicated to this project to help those most vulnerable in our community.  In the Spring of 2026, we are working hard to raise $750,000 to match a conditional governmental grant to make this community a reality.  After construction, Shiloh is committed to being a partner that continues to provide for the veterans that will live here.

Missions at Shiloh United Methodist Church is based on the Biblical principle of missions given to us by Jesus in Acts 1:8:  But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Following after this command, Shiloh is dedicated to provide for missions in these four areas.  

Jerusalem – Shiloh works to help those in need within our own community.  Shiloh members care for one another and when someone is in need, the church steps up and helps one another through difficult times.

Judea – this was the countryside around Jerusalem.  Shiloh is dedicated to helping in Delhi and the surrounding community.  With partnerships at Delhi Middle School, Oak Hills High School, Anderson Ferry Food Pantry, and our monthly Community Dinner (served on the last Friday of each month), we are dedicated to helping those in need in our neighborhood.

Samaria – this was a place close by where they were not comfortable visiting.  Shiloh is dedicated to helping in places a little farther away that are in great need.  Through Team Hope, LIT Movement, Tiny Homes for Veterans, and others, Shiloh is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of people in our greater community.

The Ends of the Earth – Jesus clearly commanded the church to pay attention to the needs of the poor all over the earth.  Shiloh has partners in Cambodia (Women Are Gold), Africa (Nuru Ya Mapendo), and takes regular mission trips to Appalachia (Youth Trips to Big Creek) and Cuba.  Through the support of the United Methodist Church, Shiloh also assists with disaster relief through UMCOR (click for link), and through the General Board of Global Ministries (click for link) that provide emergency relief and long-term projects for those in need all over the world.
