Naaman was refined and a fine looking gentleman with lots of class! Captain of the Syrian army and second to the king (see 2 Kings 5), Scripture describes him as a great man, a valiant warrior and highly respected. But, he had one big issue – leprosy. One of the most dreaded diseases in the […]
Reorder Your Work
Have you ever had an important project or goal to accomplish that you just can’t get to? Every day you have the best intentions to start, but evening rolls around and you transfer it to the next day’s agenda. Usually the work I put off is my best work. The work I fill my days […]
Recall Truth When You Feel Invisible
Have you ever felt swallowed up in the dailiness of ministry? Sometimes crossing one thing off the list seems to make three more things jump on the list! I know you are working hard as a ministry leader and yet sometimes you may feel as if, in spite of all you do, no one sees […]
Strategically Select Team Members
Does your women’s ministry team do a great job of creating excitement for events, but have difficulty managing the details involved in the planning process? Or, does your team work tirelessly on program details, such as table arrangements, food selections, and brochure designs, only to be discouraged by sporadic attendance or spotty interest? If either scenario sounds uncomfortably […]
Reach In to Women In the Faith
While outreach and evangelism are critical for any church ministry, let’s not forget to minister to the women whom are already in the faith and within arm’s reach. God’s Word says, Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone – especially to those in the family of faith. Galatians 6:10 NLT […]
Stay Connected Through the Summer
Yesterday, I met with some of my Bible study teachers. When Megan arrived, she settled in a chair, looked at the ladies gathered around the table, and, with a sigh, announced, “I have missed being with women!” The rest of us felt the same! Summer is a great time for families and relaxation. But, the […]
Bridge the Generational Gap
Just about every women’s ministry in the country wants to know the answer to the question, “How do I get all the different generations involved and working together?” While there is no set answer or perfect program, I’ve learned and seen some things over the years that can increase our chances of bridging the generational […]
Be a Dependent Dreamer
Admittedly, I’m a dreamer. Often, I’m caught in thought – planning, wondering and imagining a variety of things. Most of the time they are ministry related. The words of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech cause my heart to beat faster, as the dreams God places inside me begin to form […]
Listen Well
The other day someone was telling a story and I was so intrigued that I asked a lot of questions. The problem was not the questions but it’s the idea that my many questions – sometimes voiced mid-sentence – did not convey what I wanted. I wanted her to know I am interested in what […]
Value People Over Perfection
I stood in exhausted shock after the first women’s ministry event I coordinated. I was the hero of the day, and I couldn’t quite take it all in. After waving good-bye to the last gushing attendee, I looked at my friend Peggy and said, “I have no idea what to do with all of that […]
