I mentioned one or two of his characteristics/gifts that I especially appreciated.<br /><br />Knowing that I would be sending this letter later made my prayer for him more thoughtful and thankful.

(Related: Last night, I was reading an article in The New Yorker about teaching better midwifery practices in India. The researchers discovered that the only way to get the midwives to accept a practice as their new normal was to give them a one-on-one mentor to help them implement it in their real life situations. It was the relationship with the mentor that motivated/enabled the women to make lifesaving changes.)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084741256488042140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028000359711843677.post-70251712394082810292013-07-29T10:44:23.950-04:002013-07-29T10:44:23.950-04:00I think the Titus 2 directive for older women to t...I think the Titus 2 directive for older women to teach the younger women sets the precedent for this "one at a time" ministry mindset. When Brent preached through Titus 2 recently, he pointed out that this older woman to younger woman teaching is something that the pastor can't do. There is a unique place that women have in ministering to each other at a micro-level. It is one thing for a pastor to preach, "Respect your husband." It is another for an older woman to come alongside the younger woman who tells mocking jokes about her husband during Bible study and rebuke, exhort, and encourage her in the way that a husband should be spoken of. To show the younger woman, "this is how it's done." <br />Thanks for this post!Lydia Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01355532202968178963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028000359711843677.post-65697769959346294452013-07-29T10:25:22.248-04:002013-07-29T10:25:22.248-04:00Beautiful.
