Three reasons women ministries are needed: A helpful way to remember the three: W.I.N.
1st reason they are needed: Women are Wired Differently!
For example: Generally speaking…
For example: On the playground… And in the narthex!

In short… • Women are wired differently! • Rather than deny gender differences, let’s capitalize on them – to advance God’s kingdom!
2nd reason they are needed: Women are more Inclined spiritually than men.
For example: 49% 35% 44% 35% 89% 77% 77% 63% (Barna Update, 2007) 41% 29%
3rd reason they are needed: Volunteers who provide ministry also need to receive ministry. Women need Nurture.
Women need Nurture. • The percentage of women who volunteer to help a church is declining. • “Churches need to consider whether… they are providing sufficient opportunities for women to receive ministry and not just provide ministry to others.” (George Barna)
Why women ministries? Because women… W – are Wired differently. I – are more Inclined spiritually. N – need Nurture.
1st Mindset: Women ministries are a strategic TOOL of the church to advance God’s Kingdom!
