FIEC women in ministry gather, smile and thrive

Serving as a woman in ministry is a privilege and a blessing, but it can be a lonely role – that’s why 30 women from churches across the UK gathered for three days for Thrive, coming together around God’s word for refreshment and support.

The Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) Director for Women’s Ministry, Rachel Sloan, commented: “Thrive is a key way that FIEC seeks to equip women in ministry for the responsibilities God has called them to in the local church.”

Teaching was brought by Lizzy Smallwood, a ministry wife based in Cornwall, from the book of Haggai, with a time to pray and reflect on the teaching together in small groups, sharing how it applies to their own ministry lives.
