Show Notes
We often think the call to engage in ministry requires established groups, curriculum, and a clear plan. But what about the single mom next door we feel God tugging our hearts for? In my conversation with Elisa Medina today, she shares how God transformed her idea of what women’s ministry should be. Rather than focusing on quantity, Elisa has learned to focus on the one.
EPISODE GUIDE
1. Women’s ministry isn’t for someday; it is right now.
2. Your family is meant to be a part of your ministry and a core area that you seek God’s transformation.
3. It’s not about numbers. Even if one woman is changed by Christ, you’re accomplishing God’s work.
BEST QUOTES
“I want to encourage every woman out there that is trying to build a ministry: I am sure there is one woman at her church already. Maybe not even at her church, because it doesn’t have to be at your church. Maybe it’s your neighbor. Maybe it’s the woman at the market that you see often. Maybe it’s a woman you see at the gym and God’s tugging your heart saying, ‘That is the girl you’re gonna take for a coffee because that is where it’s going to start.'”
— Elisa Medina
“I’ve learned to take on the call God has given me to teach women with my babies, with my children. You don’t have to hide your kiddos. We’re trying to help women understand that they can bring their whole baggage of kids and we’ll learn and grow together in the Lord. ”
— Elisa Medina
“If I set my eyes on just one person, if I can lead them to hope and Christ and experiencing His presence and it changes them? My job is done and complete.”
— Elisa Medina
