 Among the BEST Resource of Its Kind - Inspirational, Purposeful, Impactful, September 4, 2008
I recently purchased several (>5) books on getting a women’s ministry started or going again… and of all the books I purchased, THIS ONE is the one that provided me with the most inspiration and ideas. It truly contains “fresh ideas” and “creative plans”! Using this book as my guide, I put together a five-month plan to radically upgrade our church’s women’s ministry, and presented that plan to our pastor. We’ve been a small congregation that started growing rapidly, so we need to take our current women’s ministry to the next level and grow with our congregation — their needs and our church’s ministry needs. I’m in the process of implementing that plan with our pastor and the church staff — all of whom were impressed with the concise, thorough plan. I told them that this book provided the inspiration, ideas, and templates. As I read through the book, so much of it resonated with me — so many of the ideas and tips gave voice and validation to my own hopes and plans for reviving our women’s ministry. The easy-to-follow examples and templates for surveys, leadership position descriptions/duties, classes, ministry opportunities, and more helped me to quickly put it all together. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes that women’s ministries need to be more than social clubs. To truly be a WOMEN’S MINISTRY, it needs to be about ME, US (church and community), and HIM. A well-balanced women’s ministry more than meets each woman’s need for fellowship, it helps to cement life-long friendships, diversity, teamwork, and most of all, purpose — taking our rightful place as the body of Christ to minister to one another, to our community, and to our world. And it’s not as difficult as it sounds! The author has laid out sound biblical principles, spiritual advice (pray! get your pastor’s buy-in immediately), and ideas on how to apply these ideas and plans to every church, whether building a new ministry or reviving an existing one — for any size church! |
