Dear reader, our Heavenly Father calls all women to serve him. This article presents seven Bible verses inviting women to preach the word of God.

First, we must realize that Christianity began in the Middle East, where women are generally marginalized. It is for this reason that some disciples of Jesus Christ were against women preachers and pastors. However, as noted below, the Bible contains many examples where God calls women to serve him.
