women of faith

Acts 16:13
On the Sabbath we went a little way outside the city to a riverbank, where we thought people would be meeting for prayer, and we sat down to speak with some women who had gathered there.

Luke, the author of Acts, accompanied Paul on some of his journeys. This makes eyewitness accounts so detailed. Here we see women meeting for worship and prayer, a scandal in the day for Jews, Greeks, and Romans. The Christian influence in these cultures when it comes to women is astounding, light years ahead of anything else witnessed in the ancient world at the time.

Pray for the women of faith around you.
