Lady Preachers and Teachers
 

I am interested in fellowshipping more lady preachers and teachers.
I travel all over the U.S. and internationally as a Bible teacher and Evangelist.
I love my life. I would not trade it for anything but maybe another pastorate or maybe teaching full time in a Bible School. Otherwise I love my life.
Its not been altogether easy though. I started at 23 years old and not every one was so gungho about women in the pulpit. As the years have gone by I have gotten much more comfortable. I am not the type to push it on anyone.
I have always prayed and Jesus has opened the door. What about you? What is your story?:star

I used to preach when my husband and I were in the UPC. We left the ministry and I haven't preached since. I think the world needs women preachers...it helps keep a balance so everything is not so male dominated. I don't know if I will ever preach again, personally. That chapter of my life is over maybe forever. I don't even really like to talk about it and am even uncomfortable writing this. I have no problem saying we left the ministry. I never felt real comfortable preaching and I always felt like I was walking against the current, so thinking about it makes me feel exhausted. I never felt very supported as a woman preacher in the UPC as a whole. I felt tolerated.

I love being a preachers wife but that is not my only calling in Jesus.
I am an International Bible teacher and evangelist. I love what I do.
It matters not what anyone thinks to me. I just keep going on for Jesus.
Thanks for the :santathumb I feel so much better.lol:horn

Sister,
Keep on preaching and teaching.

It is my understanding of the Scriptures that in Christ there is neither male nor female, bond nor free, Jew nor Gentile and a woman can do and be anything that a man can do or be. It is my understanding that the gifts and offices of Ephesians chapter 4, Romans chapter 12, and 1 Corinthians chapter 12 are equally available to both men and women.

Wow Sam, so using your reasoning then we can have gay preachers because realy in the church they are sexless?

Re: Lady Preachers and Teachers
 

Nothing wrong with gay preachers as long as they remain celibate. ;)

Re: Lady Preachers and Teachers
 

Regardless of Sams reasoning which btw the first thing that rang in my mind was this is the same scripture the gays use also, women are a mighty force in the army of the Lord.
I don't really care what anyone thinks but Jesus and my husband. Thankfully we preach and teach together. I love it. He is the man around our house. I don't have to be. I really
love teaching ladies. I am teaching ladies at the conference we are about to arrive at.
He is one awesome Bible teacher. We are one in the pulpit. He teaches and then calls me up when he feels to do so. I love it. It works for us. We have baptized many this year and many have received the Holy Ghost. Team ministry is a good thing.
I think its sad when a man is a preacher and his wife hates the ministry. If he would help her develop in her gifts and callings(which many do. I am criticizing no one.) then what a powerful force for Jesus they could be.
