B - Bridge Building: This ministry practices hospitality in greeting and registering each woman who attends the meetings. They also act as a bridge for the other portions, offering support to team members when needed.
R - Refreshment Team: There are four separate functions of the Refreshment Team
1. Refreshing - Provides an atmosphere of refreshing by a special team of gifted and creative ladies.
2. Refreshments - Provides a balanced and satisfying meal from the hands of our excellent volunteer cooks.
3. Rejoicing I - Provides praise and worship in song.
4. Rejoicing II - Provides other forms of praise and drama through a dance troop of angelic ladies.
I - Intercessors: This ministry is the intercessory portion of the B.R.I.D.E.S. Prayer requests are filled out and placed in special containers. The B.R.I.D.E.S. team hostess will pray over each request individually.
D - Deborahs (Leaders): This ministry will be made up of future teams equipped to teach small groups for the purpose of discipleship training; the attributes of Feminine Leadership (Judges 5), Government and Citizenship (Romans 13) and Heroines (Hebrews 11).
E - Esthers (Equippers): This ministry is empowered to help. The Esther’s Team operates in all functions of Administration of the Brides of Christ. Equippers simply equip all functions for the team.
S - Sarahs (Mothers): This ministry encompasses scriptural teaching with life examples. Every meeting will be bringing forth the anointed Word of God, taught in a practical and applicable style. More than any other Biblical woman, Sarah stands to teach women two supreme characteristics of Godly womanhood: humble submission to their husbands in marriage and fervent commitment to nurturing the next generation (Senior Leaders).
It is certain that God is calling women today in a greater way than He has before. We must answer the call! We must help the younger women to believe that they too can answer the call.
Deborah is looking for a few good women!
