Women’s Ministry - Imagine

IMAGINE was the theme for our conference’s 2nd annual Young Women’s day. The morning at “the San” chapel with Alina Coccetti and Litiana Turner “was just not long enough!” according to participants. Women’s Ministries directors, Pr Gilda Dholah-Roddy comments: “I believe we all left with our batteries recharged, ready to begin imagining.” Alina spoke to the young ladies on the incredible transformation that occurs in our lives when we encounter Jesus (we are turned from water into wine!) However the enemy uses so many barriers to try and prevent us from truly living our lives for God. Things like fears, lies and distractions. “We were challenged to offer our unique talents, passions and opportunities as a sweet offering to God by recognizing that we truly are wine, and by pouring out our lives in service to others, we can make a difference in our world right where we are” commented one participant.

Pr Gilda talked to the young women about their role in Women’s Ministries. “Engaging the young women means engaging their world and being ready to give an answer to them for the hope we have in Christ. It’s about knowing theology and engaging cultural understandings of God and spirituality. It’s about knowing the self...the sinful nature and our need for a saviour, and how man seeks continuously to be autonomous from God’s sovereign hand. In other words, Women’s Ministry has to broaden her understanding in order to broaden her audience.”

A special thanks to Orette Elysee-Collen for a fabulous feast - we were totally spoilt.
