We help women overcome, conquer, and prevail, in their spiritual, personal, and professional lives.
In the beginning…
It All Began With a Message
In 2010, after returning to Albany, Georgia to join her husband, Dr. Joshua W. Murfree, Jr., Dr. Samantha Wilson Murfree was invited to speak at a Women’s Day program at the church her husband attended—soon to become her own church home.
The pastor selected “The Prevailing Woman” as the theme, based on Matthew 15:21–28, the story of the Canaanite woman who persistently sought Jesus for her daughter’s healing. Her unwavering faith and determination moved the heart of Jesus to act.
For Dr. Murfree, this scripture revealed a powerful truth:
women everywhere—past, present, and future—can prevail through faith in God.
From that moment, the message of The Prevailing Woman took root. She began to recognize the same prevailing spirit in countless women around her—women overcoming adversity, hardship, and heartbreak with quiet strength and enduring faith. And she realized that she, too, was a Prevailing Woman.
What began as one sermon became a lifelong calling.
From Message to Movement
In time, the seed of that message blossomed into something greater.
On April 26, 2018, Prevailing Woman Ministries® (PWM) was officially established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization—a ministry built upon faith, empowerment, and service.
Led by Dr. Murfree and supported by a committed Board of Directors and a growing team of volunteers, PWM was created to help women everywhere embrace their identity, rediscover their strength, and walk in victory through Christ.
PWM’s beginnings were humble—small prayer gatherings, women’s fellowships, and intimate conversations—but the vision quickly expanded. Through conferences, panel discussions, workshops, and community events, PWM began reaching more women with one powerful truth:
You can overcome.
You can conquer.
You can prevail—in Jesus’s Name.
Ministry in Action
Faith becomes tangible when compassion meets need.
That belief inspired the creation of the Prevailing Woman Gift Box of Hope—PWM’s signature outreach initiative designed to bring encouragement and care to women facing challenging circumstances.
Each beautifully packaged box includes essential items such as toiletries, feminine hygiene products, lip balm, scripture cards, and personal messages of hope. Every box carries a clear and compassionate message:
You are seen.
You are loved.
You are a Prevailing Woman.
Through this initiative, PWM has reached women experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, depression, sexual trauma, brokenness, and illness—meeting physical needs while affirming spiritual worth.

Keep Prevailing.

No matter the season.
Through Christ—you can overcome, you can conquer, and you can prevail.
