Women Open-Air Preaching -Authority over Men?

[ReformedWretch]

Well, I know what it is I believe and how I see scripture in regard to that. Interesting discussion though.

Women make about about 65% of all foreign missionaries.

They excel in linguistics and in teaching of women and children as well as humanitarian, medical, orphan, etc, relief...

I know of not a single women preaching in the whole province where I am at, despite many many women missionaries.

Relating this to the OP, there are many things that women CAN do without open -air preaching.

So, it does not matter who was first, Johanna Veenstra is praiseworthy for her efforts.

If it doesn't matter, you shouldn't have brought it up.

The woman was know for medical work and preaching. The medical work should be praised and the preaching should be condemned.

It's not a big race. There is no contest between God and Satan to collect as many souls as possible before the end, and God certainly doesn't need us at all. If you keep that in mind, then there's no need to defend a woman or a man for doing things they shouldn't.

God is gracious to allow us to serve Him to bring about His Kingdom, and He has given us an instruction manual to guide us. God is eternally content, and isn't anxious about having His elect die before they hear the Gospel.

Johanna Veenstra was brought up. Getting facts as to what she did or didn't do is relevant to the OP. Whether she was the first in Nigeria or the 2nd or third matters little to this OP however.
