\"9<\/p>\n

The lessons haven\u2019t always been fun or easy, but God has taught me so much in almost 20 years of ministering to women.<\/p>\n

From my days as a \u201cmommy group\u201d leader to serving on three different women\u2019s ministry teams in three different churches in three different cities, I\u2019ve had many opportunities to learn from my mistakes and gain wisdom from my mentors.<\/p>\n

I pray God will use these reflections to affirm and strengthen your leadership in women\u2019s ministry.<\/p>\n

Here are 9 things I\u2019ve learned in 19 years of women\u2019s ministry:<\/h4>\n

1. Women love interaction.<\/h5>\n

Women don\u2019t just want to sit and listen, they want to actively participate. Consider including a hands-on service project, guided discussion group, and intentional icebreaker game to meet their needs. Resist the temptation to pack your schedule or agenda too tightly.<\/p>\n

2. Circles are better than rows.<\/h5>\n

Women need to sit face to face to make connections and build relationships. Whenever possible, create circles and get your women out of rows. If you must sit in rows for a speaker\u2019s teaching session, physically move the chairs into circles (as far apart as possible) or move into separate rooms for even greater confidentiality and deeper sharing.<\/p>\n

3. Icebreaker games with purpose provide connection.<\/h5>\n

Carefully selected icebreaker games allow women to bond over shared experienced and preferences. Provide opportunities for your women to discover new things about one another. You\u2019ll find bunches of great icebreaker games at Christian Camp Pro<\/a> as well as on this page at Women\u2019s Ministry Toolbox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Click here<\/a> <\/strong>to finish reading 9 Things 19 Years in Women’s Ministry Has Taught Me\u00a0<\/strong>in my guest post over at Christian Camp Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I pray it will be a blessing to you!<\/em><\/p>\n
