Women's ministry today addresses the needs of women in all walks
and stages of life. Drawing on her years of church staff
experience, Linda Lesniewski describes the changing and varied
needs of women and encourages Christian women to become involved in
leadership.
The book emphasizes the biblical foundation of women's ministry and
explores the call of God to minister to women. Moving to more
practical issues, it discusses leadership training, following
church protocol, communication, and ways to make ministry fresh,
creative, and vital. Whether a veteran looking for inspiration and
new ideas or a person exploring God's direction in life, any woman
can benefit from the wealth of information and inspiration found in
Connecting Women.
You can lead a dynamic women's ministry
If you have helped a sick neighbor or prayed for a friend's
troubled marriage, you have done ministry. But leading women's
ministry takes more than just a kind heart. In Connecting
Women, Linda Lesniewski shows you how you can be a vital part
of God's work among women.
Building on a foundation of Bible study and prayer, Connecting
Women gives practical suggestions for starting a new ministry,
enhancing an existing one, and working with women from all walks of
life. It also offers clear directives for
• nurturing your own spiritual life
• following church protocol
• negotiating for ministry
• partnering with other churches
• budgeting
• equipping leaders
• and keeping ministry fresh and creative
Whether you are a ministry veteran or are just starting your
journey into serving God in a leadership role, this inspiring book
will be an invaluable resource.
