Baptist Women in Ministry Month of Advocacy

Every March, Baptist Women in Ministry (BWIM) invites individuals and churches to support and advocate for women in ministry through participation in BWIM Month of Advocacy. While BWIM advocates support for women in ministry throughout the year, they step up the emphasize in March to coincide with Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day (March 8). Additionally, March often includes our Lenten observance and sometimes even the celebration of Easter Sunday. In honor of the fact that women were the first evangelists commissioned to preach the good news of Jesus’ resurrection, there can be no better time of year to honor women’s value in Christ’s work of redemption in our world. Each Friday this month, we will have a list of ways that you can participate in supporting and celebrating women in ministry.
