In today's world, women are increasingly becoming active participants in various social and religious movements. This is especially true for women's ministry in churches of different denominations. In our church, which belongs to the charismatic movement, we value every sister who is eager to serve God and others.
A woman as a minister is not only an opportunity but also a calling. The Bible presents many examples of women who became faithful ministers and helpers in God’s kingdom. For instance, in
Romans 16:1-2we see how important a role women’s ministry holds in the church."I commend to you Phoebe, our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchreae. Receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever matter she may have need of you, for she has been a great help to many, and to myself as well."
Women in the Bible were involved in evangelism, assisted in ministry, and cared for the poor and the sick. It is essential to understand that every woman has her own talent and gift that can be used for the glory of God. They can express their faith through preaching, culture, helping others, and in many other forms of ministry.
In the Acts of the Apostles, women are also mentioned who had a significant influence on the life of the church.
Acts 21:9They were prophetesses, receiving instructions from God and sharing them with the church. This testifies that our Lord makes no exceptions in using people to fulfill His plans and purposes."And he had four unmarried daughters who prophesied."
From time to time, we may feel unreliable, unnecessary, or doubt our abilities. But it is important to remember that each of us has our place in the church.
1 Corinthians 12:12-14This emphasizes that women are an integral part of the body of Christ."For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit."
In our church, we strive to support women's ministry by providing sisters with opportunities to grow, serve, and share their testimonies. Remember that your ministry is important! If you feel a calling, do not hesitate to take action and serve.
May the Lord bless you and inspire you to serve!
