Leading women has always been so exciting for me. I love to see them grow in the Lord and see how He gifts them and uses them in such unique ministries. In Titus 2:3-5 we are instructed to teach the older women to train the younger women. Age isn't so much the issue here as spiritual maturity. When God blesses us with knowledge of Him and the Word, we are to share that with other women.
While teaching in Nigeria I was referred to as Mama. I was curious why that was and they explained that they saw me a spiritual mother. What a blessing to think that God had allowed me to "mother" such beautiful women. That was my calling and ministry - to be doing just what God instructed women to do in Titus 2. It seems like there should be a school or degree that equips us to do something of this magnitude and yet God, in His wisdom knows that our sharing the truth with women about who He is and what He can do is all the education we need.
No matter where you are leading women or how you are leading women, know that you are their "spiritual mother" and that God has given you the gifts to accomplish this calling. Follow Him, listen to Him, and obey Him and you will continue to grow and have valuable truth to share with the women in your ministry and life.
