Woman: What Are You Looking For?

Written by  New York Church of Christ, Bronx Region Tuesday, 07 April 2009 02:43

On Saturday, March 14, 2009, the Bronx Region of the New York City church had our first Women’s Day event in 3 years. With an initial goal of 300, God far surpassed our goals as we filled up Maestro’s with 670 women! That day, we had 255 Bronx female members in attendance and 415 guests. What an amazing victory.

Later on that week Rose Ashley, Regional Women’s Ministry Leader of the Bronx, informed us that her secret goal was for God to bring out 500 women and He still showed us that we need not put Him in a box. We limit God when He has no limits.

The women were so excited as we waited with lines outside the door and down the street for the morning’s event to begin! The women were so encouraged as they walked in to see the ambiance of the room decorated in fresh spring colors of pink, lilac and purple with fresh flowers accenting each table.

Our morning was packed with powerful singing, dancing, spoken word, and 2 incredible testimonies given by Rosanna Plascencia and Marva Weinberg who served in the ministry in South Carolina and Los Angeles, California.

Cynthia Powell was our guest speaker. She delivered a powerful message addressing the different things that women try to fill their lives with, showing that the only thing that brings true fulfillment is a true relationship with Jesus Christ. Our day continued with fellowship, studies and beautiful prizes. It was truly an event that only God could have brought about.

We have been blessed to have many women studying the Bible as a result of this year’s Women's Day. Please join us in prayer as we now begin the work of fighting for their eternal relationships with God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. (Ephesians 3:20)
