The first person at the cross where Jesus was crucified  was a women
The  first person at the tomb of   Jesus was a women
The  first person t proclaim that Jesus rose from the dead was a woman
Among those who attended the first prayer meeting in the book of Acts  were women.
The first person to share the gospel with the Jews was a woman .
The first person to greet Paul and Silas was a women.
The first person in Europe to be converted  to believe the gospel was a women
Among those who received the Holy Spirit at e upper room were women

Women do wear their color during these meetings a white blouse  and a blue skirt as you can see on the pictures and another group of women were singing it was a great time as you can see.to God be all the glory.

I can go on and on the Lord has used women to go to many nations as missionaries and he is still calling them.

So the women were encouraged to know that the Bible says about women today and in the past.

Keep us in prayer that the Lord will keep His hand upon the.  Church.

Next month we will have a. Large men's conference where men will gather and hear the word of the  Lord we will have speakers from Zimbabwe and Zambia and I will speak as well so we need your prayers.

Again thanks  so much for your love and prayers for us we do appreciate I ate you so much.

Stephen.
Pastor.
