Women’S Role in Kingdom Building: Do You Know Your Role?

Far too long women have been the proverbial question mark when it came to ministry and how far they can go in it. I had the calling from God for at least ten years before I accepted it. Reason being, I had seen the way women were disrespected by male pastors/ministers, not recognizing there capabilities, and even not "permitting" women in "their" pulpit. No thank you, to a thankless job. However, a few things have changed today in some areas, but a lot has not changed at all in others. In my over thirty years in ministry, I finally realized something. Women, all roads to kingdom building do NOT lead to the pulpit WOMEN, read my book and get a head start on finding what God has called YOU to do. Stop guessing MEN, read my book and get a new insight about women's role in kingdom building. While you're at it, read the bible about Deborah, Anna, Rahab to name a few women who were intelligent, courageous, and strong in the work of the ministry.
