- Seek, reach out to and evangelize widows throughout the Caribbean, teaching them the purpose of God for their lives.
- To encourage each nation to seek out and nurture the widows in their region by sharing the experience with each other.

- Train and develop useful skills among the widows.
- To develop a purposeful lifestyle of acknowledging the LORD as their Supplier, their Shield and Defender, and to make intercession on their behalf and that of their sister widows.
- Empower widows to take their position in the place of prayers and supplications (Luke 2:36-37, 1 Timothy 5:5)
- Teach their children to acknowledge God as their Father and depend solely on Him for their protection and total supply.
- Wherever possible, reach out to widowers as well.
