Women Leadership and Ministry
The program is dedicated to empowering women to actively participate in the Great Commission and to securing the necessary funding for their ministries. This initiative is motivated by the fact that many women in Africa have been historically denied opportunities to serve in ministry due to traditional cultural norms and the misinterpretation of certain Biblical passages attributed to Paul. These barriers have prevented women from fully embracing their God-given callings and making the impact they are capable of in the work of the Kingdom.
The Open Gate Foundation seeks to advocate for greater inclusion of women in ministry, ensuring that they are able to find their rightful place in God’s work. By doing so, we aim to help them fulfill their God-given purpose while also encouraging male church leaders to support and uplift women in ministry. This program specifically focuses on empowering women who are actively engaged in “hands-on” ministry within their respective churches and communities—those who proclaim the true gospel and affirm the fundamental tenets of orthodox Christianity.
In Africa, many women face significant challenges due to the breakdown of societal structures, the absence of comprehensive support systems, and widespread economic hardships. These obstacles particularly affect women who feel called to ministry but lack the necessary resources and support to pursue their calling.
The Foundation collaborates with Christian organizations and individuals dedicated to evangelism and mission work, particularly in unreached communities. By building a network of support and collaboration, we strive to create opportunities for women in ministry to thrive and to extend their reach to communities that have yet to hear the Gospel.
Together, we work to break down barriers, inspire leadership, and bring the message of Christ to the most vulnerable and underserved populations. This initiative not only empowers women in ministry but also strengthens the Church’s mission to reach the unreached with the love and truth of the Gospel.Read More …
