In 2016, Henderson launched the non-denominational World Outreach Center. Within three years, membership grew from 75 to 500. “It was about getting our hands into people’s lives – the need to be loved, the need to be valued, the need to be cared for,” she says.
“A leader is someone with influence, nothing more, nothing less. I’m not a force by myself.” – Melva Henderson, Co-founder and President, World Outreach Center

What is your life purpose?
“To see that every gift I’ve been given is poured out for the advancement of others. My purpose is helping people get to their purpose.”
