Each semester that I teach a foundational course in Ministry to Women, 我问我的宝盈APP登录这个问题, What comes to mind when you think about ministry to women? Without fail, the answers that I receive depend on the generation of the student responding. Women have different perceptions based on their respective generations of how to gather for studying the Word, 为社区, 为祈祷, 的崇拜, 或者一起服务. 然而,, what students typically agree upon is that ministry to women is vital to the health of the church. Women need each other and need to be ministered to by one another.
那么，服事妇女是什么事呢? Ministry to women includes all of the various ways that women give and receive ministry to one another in the local church. If you are a woman, whatever your age, then ministry to women is for you! The terminology has morphed over the last few years to encompass a more holistic, less programmatic view of what it means to minister to women. 随着时代的变化，我们事奉的方式也在变化. While methodology quickly transforms as we saw during the pandemic this last year, 妇女的核心需要没有改变:
Women all over the world need what we have to offer, an introduction to Jesus Christ. Even though this last year may feel like there have been fewer opportunities for face-to-face interaction, now is the easiest time to start a gospel conversation. 地球上的每个人都有一些共同之处. We’ve all been through this pandemic, and everyone has a story to tell. Let’s not overlook the most basic ministry opportunity that abounds to us.
Not only do women need to know Christ as Savior, but also they need to know who they are in Him. While I’ve spent many years researching and helping younger women find freedom in who they are in Christ, I’ve begun to realize that older women struggle with this same issue. A multitude of possibilities exist to help women experience the freedom only Christ can bring.
过去的一年让许多人渴望希望. Life changed suddenly and dramatically for most of us, and those without Christ had no hope beyond the uncertainties of a daily changing health crisis. 为那些一直关心亲人的女性, 担任前线医护人员, 教育孩子, or dealing with the uncertainty of quarantines and employment, 生活充满了压力. The hope we have in Jesus gives us certainty in an uncertain world. What women do you know in your circles who need to be reminded of that today?
Regardless of the generation, we all have some common threads. If you have a desire to reach and disciple women of any age, the Ministry to Women Academic programs at NOBTS and Leavell College has a place for you to prepare. 作为宝盈集团bbin她计划的一部分, we desire for women to be theologically grounded servants of Jesus, to abide in the Word through a vibrant personal relationship with God, 并回应神对事工领袖的呼召. 去上一节课看看. 我想你会发现新一代的新面貌. You never know what doors of opportunity God has in mind for you.
