Equipped to Lead Women
“It has been a privilege for me to have enrolled in the Trinity Equip course, which is growing me in Bible-handling, leadership, teamwork and pastoral care skills. Being part of a group of 15 spiritually-mature godly women gathering weekly and exploring God’s Word and praying together is pure joy. Considering the aphorism that ‘we are to be rivers not reservoirs’, my prayer is that this knowledge will flow through to grow God’s kingdom and bless the people around me.”
