baptisms
Had a great service this monring with the two baptism. The Hindu girl's mother, aunt and brother and sister came which was a eal joy but I wonder what they made of it all. The other lady told me afterwards that she had felt physcially better than she had for a long time as she came up from the waters (she's just come out of hospital).
The church was full with visitors from several churches connected to the the two women and was great to have a full church and great singing. A time of thankfulness for all God has done in these two lives and the lves of slo many others and a prayer that God will work in some of the lives of people there who don't know Christ.
The one thing I found hard was the fact that after the service I was told that several of the people visiting did not agree with women in ministry! I just hope that God helped them see that it was he who called, equipped and uses me and it might be the beginning of a journey into a different understanding of this thorny issue.

So glad it was a good experience.
Let's hope enough baptismal water got into the ears of the objectors to women in ministry to wash out the gunge that stops them hearing what God is saying... Don't let the detractors get to you, rejoice in your gifted calling.

I agree with Catriona! Women certainly add that certain something to worship that a man cannot. You have been called by God and equipped for ministry, go sister go!!
