A Different Take on Girl Power.

This week a woman from Asia shared with us. She and her husband, who are house-church leaders, are often targeted by government officials because of their bold stand for Jesus.

This sister primarily works with women’s ministry. In her country, the government spreads the belief that women are both ignorant and inferior. Instead of preaching on the injustice of inequality, however, this woman takes advantage of her government’s misconceptions by equipping women in her congregation to spread the gospel.

Because these women are believed to be incompetent, they are also viewed as harmless. Unlike the men in this country, they are generally free to travel without being questioned or searched by authorities. Therefore, it is easier for them to carry Bibles and other restricted literature. Through women’s ministry, many people have come to know Jesus in this country.

How ironic that these women can minister so easily. The devil sought to tear women down by spreading lies about their competence, but these brave Christian women use this lie as a cover while they spread Christ through a dark nation.

Please pray for the ministry of these sisters. Pray that they will be protected as they find opportunities to share the love of Jesus with an oppressed people.
