A thought on Women Ministers!!

David Yonggi Cho, Senior Pastor of a 700,000 plus member Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, Korea stated, "For 5,000 years in Korea, women had no voice at all. They were only to cater to the needs of men. Then Christianity came and set women free. Especially in the church, women are free. In ministry, they are equal to men. They are licensed, they are ordained, they become deacons and elders, and they become cell leaders. While some argue that women should be silent in the church, I have seen that once women are called into ministry, they no longer belong to the category of women. They are messengers of the Lord."

This is the Korean Church, where is the American church? Where are you?
