GOD CAN USE, HAS USED, AND WILL USE WOMEN

 Looking back at history is not always dry as dust. Information can also be conveyed playfully. This was the case at the women's meeting on April 3 in the church in Tübingen, Germany, when the focus was on the women in the early history of the Adventist Church who were active in preaching the Word as evangelists, Bible workers, and pastors. It was also about the opportunities for women to get involved in preaching, which were greater in the early days than in the early 20th century after the death of Ellen G. White. An interesting and sad development! There was a lot of laughter during the board game, and the nets in both boats filled up with “fish” even though the male pawn usually got a few points ahead of the female pawn. With much admiration for the life achievements of the women Minnie Sype, Ellen Lane, Sarah Lindsay, Maud Boyd, Helen Williams, and Lulu Wightman as preachers despite many difficulties, we realized that God can use, has used, and will to use women

The first evening in this series took place on March 6, marking 150 years since the first missionary was sent out in 1874, and focused on women who wanted to conquer the world for the Advent message as missionaries at that time. They went to Europe, Africa, India, China, Australia, the South Seas, and South America, risking their lives and health. The third evening on May 8 will focus on the development of the health work and the female doctors and nurses of the early days of the Adventist movement. These events are open to all and men interested in history are warmly invited.

The Passing of a Great Woman

It has been my privilege to be involved in Women's Ministries ever since the Department was (re)created in 1995/6. I have met many wonderful and devoted women who were trailblazers and developed a ministry that makes an impact in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church around the world. So many women's lives have been enriched, and empowered and so many have been reached out to. I have been inspired by every woman who has served as Director of this department and I am deeply thankful for their example, love, and friendship. It has always been a special joy to meet these women who have devoted their lives to mentoring and sharing their expertise, experience, and spiritual insights with their sisters around the world. Women's Ministries has become a veritable sisterhood to which every woman can belong. Last October I had the opportunity to attend the North American Division conference on Adventist Women's History in Washington, DC. It was so good to see one of our pioneers, Ar

We Have Messed Up the Earth

Living in a temperate climate, I have been used to having cold winters and warm summers. We never thought we would need air conditioning. But things have changed. We are in the middle of climate change and scientists are saying that we have almost passed the point of no return. The last two summers were extremely dry and hot. This summer we are having a mixture of heat and thunderstorms causing vast amounts of rain, and flooding. Hail is clogging the sewers and destroying crops. Streets are transformed into fast-flowing rivers, houses are flooded and even collapsing. Rivers and lakes overflow their banks. Rescue services are working at capacity and still, we hear of people drowning or not being accounted for. I am shocked at the news reports of calamities from all over. Many have lost everything to the flood. Even in areas that are used to flooding, people say that they have never experienced anything like this. In other parts of the world, the problem is extreme heat. When polar regi

Adventist Women Missionaries

 Women’s History Month 2024 As I was browsing through the Adventist Encyclopedia, looking for women to be presented during Women’s History Month 2024, concentrating on missionaries, I found many women who had accompanied their husbands to foreign lands. Most of these women were mentioned as being part of a missionary team, working together to bring the Advent message to the area they were sent to. Both, husband and wife, were important, and both gave their all to serve God and the church they loved. Many even gave their health and life in the process. I also found single women who pioneered in unentered areas, reaching out, particularly to the women in these countries who would otherwise not have been reached. They were intrepid women who showed courage and initiative in bringing the message of salvation to the people they served. Then there were the women whose efforts were listed first, although they had a husband because their work seemed to merit special mention, like Priscil
