Ladies Ministry Commission Report
January 2008

The ladies of the Europe/Middle East Regional are working toward a great goal.  That goal is to influence their world for our Lord Jesus Christ and to spread the good news of His saving and keeping power regardless of where you live.  From the responses to a Survey sent around the Region, we note that 60% of our constituency consists of women.  Most countries in Europe/Middle East Region have an active ladies program in place, to include Ladies Conferences and monthly Ladies Meetings.  In addition:

• Mothers or Ladies Day Services focus on ladies needs.
   

• Monthly Daughters of Zion Meeting focus on prayer for our children
   

• Annual Ministers and Wives Retreats held in some areas of the Region provide for separate classes to address the needs of minister’s wives and women in their congregations
   

• Monthly Prayer and Fellowship emphasis family, church and community. Prayer chains, Prayer Walks, Weekends of Prayer and Fellowship are a driving force of spiritual impact in their lives
   

• Teaching on local and national levels is preparing women for ministry to children, the ability to hold small group Bible Studies, and personal evangelism. One missionary reports 25-30 personal Bible Studies taught annually by ladies
   

• Ladies are active in evangelism, others are involved in Children’s Ministry, teaching in Bible Schools, ministry to refugees, prison ministry, Sunday School Superintendent, ladies team leaders and mentoring the teens in the local church, Apostolic ladies, some with Christian Worker’s License, are teaching English to reach their people using Oneness materials as texts
   

• Translation of materials, newsletters and a Children’s Magazine are the creative work of women in the Region
   

• Others organize fund raisers to assist the ministry, local and national missions programs and to purchase Sunday School materials
   

• And many continue to lend themselves to the various ministries of their husbands and/or spiritual leaders as musicians, singers, hostesses, prayer warriors and examples of Christian faithfulness
