Preacher thread... <G>
>I had my first "preaching" opportunity this past Saturday at a

>I know without a doubt, that when Jerry received a call from God to

> I didn't want to be the wife just hanging around for the ride. I
wanted
>to be an active part in my husband's ministry, but also felt that God
>had something special for me to do, not just be "the pastor's wife".
Don't underrate "just" Pastor's wives.
>I have been around women who are called to preach. Sis Alice Wright
>from Annapolis, Maryland, and Sis Janet Trout of Dover, Delaware/North
>East, Maryland. These women do not usurp authority over their husbands.
I
>have seen them work with their husbands and yet develop their own
ministy
>in God.

>I am not putting myself up with them. I do not have the experience
>that they do. BUT, I am a child of the King, too, and He is no
respector
>of persons. He gives all of us gifts (talents):
But He has not called women to Preach.
