Celebrating Women’s History

,

This month, we celebrate Women’s History. Throughout the short history of our nation, we have seen women overlooked for their contributions to society. Since 1987, we set aside the month of March to celebrate all women have done to help us grow as a nation.

In biblical history, we have seen countless women carry out the call of God on their lives. In the story of Esther, we see a young woman saving an entire people group from extinction through steadfast obedience to God’s call. Even more impactful, we see God deliver on his promises by having a woman, Mary, carry the savior of the world, and caring for him as mother.

It’s no secret that God views women as influential builders of His Kingdom. Whether you’re a woman that knows her calling or are still figuring out where you fit in the world, don’t underestimate the plans God has for your life. Even today, there are countless women with global impact making a difference, all for the glory of God.

This March, we celebrate all women for what they have done, and more importantly what they are going to do as we build the kingdom of God together. Join us in reading and using this list of resources to learn more about women and their influence!
