Crafting the vision
I am so glad you are here...
Some years ago, as a freshman at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, I started a prayer group in my hall of residence, where fellow students and freshmen, irrespective of denomination, tribe or tongues gathered together for short bible study and prayer at the wee hours of the morning before facing the day ahead.
Till date, that is one of the most cherished memory of my Uni experience and remains indelible in my heart. The group lasted for an academic session because, soon after I became actively involved in church, school fellowships and associations until I graduated.
Also, as a married woman , I had another wonderful experience of fellowship with a group of women in my neighbourhood. We all belonged to different Christian denominations. We gathered together on a special day weekly, before the break of dawn, for brief fellowship and prayers for ourselves, our families and others before going about our daily businesses .
Over time, I have risen from one leadership position to another in Ministry and still pressing on.
Fast forward to this present date…
I have since relocated to the UK and I belong to a beautiful Church family but I still had a yearning with regards to my PURPOSE. I yearned for an interdenominational fellowship where people can just come together for the singular purpose of fellowship and uplifting one another irrespective of their christian denominations, race, skin colour or language…
One of the days I was studying Psalm 144:12. One of my favourite scripture especially with regards to praying for our youths…
“May our sons flourish in their youth like well-nurtured plants” May our daughters be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace”
Psalms 144:12 NLT
I had an epiphany ! Especially the part that talked about “May our daughters be like graceful pillars, carved to beautify a palace.”
The verse depicts the christian woman as a beautiful, graceful , strong and purposeful pillar in the palace.
I want to create and be a part of a community without walls or boundaries where the focal point is the love of Christ our chief cornerstone . A community that places importance on women, not just because of their physical beauty, but because of their importance, their strength, and the absolute necessity of who they are and what they represent.
About Us
Beautiful Pillars International Ministries exist to create a platform where women are able to fellowship and speak out irrespective of denomination, race, class or background and find encouragement to stay firmly rooted in the truth of the Gospel and enjoy the supernatural life in Christ.
The love for Christ is the centre of our lives. We encourage one another other to grow in Faith, build strong families, friendships and relationships and support one another to grow in their vocation or business.
We add value to one another by studying the Bible together, having book clubs, motivational and inspirational teachings and we also share the stories of our lives (the successes and failures) so that we can shine the spotlight on and celebrate each other from the place of confidence. We encourage and uplift each other to excellence.
We are proud to be the uniqueness of God’s glory, the combination of strength, talent and beauty and above all we are saved by grace. We are dynamic and proud of our diversities but bound together in one purpose.
At BPIM we are women of faith who run families, jobs, businesses and ministries with integrity.
If you are like minded we are building a community, we invite you to join us!

Getting to Know Pastor Gladness
I encountered our Lord Jesus Christ as a teenager and this encounter changed my life forever. I love Jesus and truly believe that He changes everything, makes you a better version of yourself and promises you the assurance of eternal life.
I am not perfect, I am still a work in progress working towards perfection in Christ Jesus. I certainly have my fair share of challenges ; been married, divorced, remarried, waited for years to have children and still in God's waiting room, lost my job, been betrayed and disappointed by loved ones, … but still standing.
I believe that the joy of the Lord is truly our strength and with Jesus the “Chief Pillar” by our side we can withstand any challenge and whether any storm.
I love to laugh, I love to travel, experience new cultures and people, I love being a woman and all that comes with it. Fashionable clothing, hair, nails, being pampered, loved … you name it.
As christian women we are beautifully and gracefully fashioned after the similitude of the palace, we are royalty and should carry ourselves as one.
"I praise thee for i am fearfully and wonderfully made marvelous are thy works and that my soul knoweth right well"
Psalm 139:14 KJV
My heart is for women, I live to encourage, impact, inform and inspire you to be a better YOU.
I love making new friends and connections and
I hope I get to know you a little better.
Shalom!
Pastor Gladness Johnson.
