Women Missionaries Of The IMB

It seems to me that the most precarious position in SBC life these days would have to be that of the single female foreign missionary.

Some in SBC leadership have made it very clear that:

She should not preach.
She should not teach men.
She cannot have any authority over men.
She better not have a private prayer language.
She is viewed as less than complete since she doesn’t have a missionary husband.

How strange and ironic are those views since two of the greatest SBC foreign missionary heroes were both single and female!

Wouldn’t you like to be God for a day?

“Bertha and Lottie, I’ve got a little mission for you. It won’t take long. I want you to go to Greensboro, NC, to the 2006 Southern Baptist Convention. All you have to do is appear on the platform during the IMB trustee report; walk toward the crowd; slowly shake your heads and then come back to heaven.”
