In reply to Barb.

Barb, how exciting! I would suggest starting here. https://womensministrytoolbox.com/how-to-start-or-rebuild-a-womens-ministry/

There’s a print button at the bottom of each page. 🙂

You may also find my book, Rethinking Women’s Ministry to be helpful.

Praying the Lord will direct your steps, Cyndee

I am beginning a women’s ministry in our church. I am interested in any free info you can share with me. I thank you kindly. I prefer things i can print off and hold in my hands. Thank you, Barb

In reply to Leah Starkey. Leah, thanks for sharing another way to collect prayer requests!I like the idea of writing them down as it would help some of the women succinctly put their request into words. :)

I do like this idea! Thanks, I’ll use it in my small group.

Here’s another – Remind your group that as the prayer request is spoken to the group, God hears it too and knows our hearts in suggesting the prayer request. Encourage the group about praying in agreement with one another and most importantly, with God. (Matt 18:19-20; 2 Cor 10:3-5; 1 John 5:14-15) Then, instead of telling the group we’ll take requests, write them down and pray later, this time we will speak out our requests to the group AND to God, actually praying about the request as we do.

This helps to limit extra conversation about each request, encourages each to pray aloud, builds compassion for one another and for the request being lifted up.
