EP 90: Women's Ministry Leader Interview with Debra Wilson

September 25, 2024 • Cyndee Ownbey

This week I'm sharing an interview with women's ministry leader, Debra Wilson from Indianapolis, Indiana. You're going to be encouraged and inspired by Debra's journey into women's ministry.

Don't miss the six women's ministry pillars they use in their church to guide their women's ministry program!

Interview Highlights:

Debra's Beginnings & Calling: Debra started her ministry journey by teaching a women's Sunday school and Bible study class. Despite initial fears about handling God's word, she embraced her calling and in 2020, she took over the role permanently during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Spiritual Growth & Leadership: Over the years, Debra's spiritual gifts evolved from administration, teaching, and helps to exhortation, faith, and giving. She places strong emphasis on obedience to God's calling over worrying about numbers, and she underscores the importance of personal spiritual growth for effective ministry.
Community Building: Debra's leadership revolves around six guiding pillars: Prayer, Bible study, Personal walk, Service to others, Fellowship, and Accountability. Her approach includes consistent Sunday prayer calls, discipleship-focused activities, and a meaningful year-end appreciation breakfast for volunteers.
