The Ester Women's Ministry
Ester Women's Ministry. A woman in ministry is not only serving in the kitchen or teaching the kids. Throughout the Bible, there have been women in key roles doing the will of our Heavenly Father, and in the walk of Christ. The woman mentioned below had challenges, setbacks, issues, disappointments, and life-altering circumstances but they also had courage, wisdom, faith, strength, love, and patience,
Ester had the courage, and boldness to speak up, believed in fasting & praying, was obedient, listen to wisdom, saved her family/people, was a leader, and most important God used her.
We say often, God can use who he pleases, we encourage the women in Christ... let God use YOU! Stay in faith, listen and recognize God's voice, be obedient, study God’s word, stay in prayer, be kind in boldness, have courage, and don't shy from leadership. Be a vessel that God can work in, and work through. Let your light shine!
