Women have a role in ministry that helps to promote the kingdom of God as well as add to the body of Christ. There are many others but I will leave that research to you if you are up to an in depth study of the women in the Bible. All of these women have a story. They are all attached to the story of a men that came along side of them. We need male and female in the body of Christ, remember that!
