Women as Influential Teachers

"Since there are more women and children in the world than men, what a mission field women have! Some women complain, 'I don't have anything to do for Christ.' But the women who say that are usually looking for an excuse because they do not really want to serve Christ sacrificially. Women can never legitimately say that they have nothing to do for Christ until they have taught every needy child and every needy woman in the church and in their community everything they know about the Word of God. In fact, these are ministries that women can perform better than men because there are problems among children and other women that women can deal with better than men. Women may disclose personal problems to women that they would not discuss with men, and women can often understand the emotional makeup and disposition of other women better than men." (Mack & Swavely)

"Be hospitable to one another without complaint." (I Peter 4:9)
