And The Women Spoke God's Word

Whether man acknowledge them or not, there were women who worked in the service of God. They followed their heart and leading of the Holy Spirit. There will always be those who go against the grain and follow what they believe to be their Christian duty. In the end God will be the one to judge. After knowing the names and works of the women listed below, one would have to ask "should it be voided and left undone because a man did not do it?" We must remember it is never MAN doing his will but a VESSEL being used by God. And God gets to do His will without any permission from man.
