Update on Development for a Women's Ministries Major at Liberty University

As most of you already know, we went before the Faculty Senate at Liberty University yesterday with a proposal for a Women's Ministries Major to launch in the Fall 2007. The objective of the program is to train women to minister to other women in the church or professional Christian women's ministries such as: evangelistic organizations, mission agencies, teen retreat centers, pregnancy centers, women shelters, women's conference ministries and organizations such as Concerned Women for America. Many of you have been praying with me on this recent development. Yesterday the women's ministry major DID NOT pass. Part of me feels like Susan B. Anthony as she continued to go before Congress to give women the right to vote. Hopefully, I will still be alive to see this major come through, unlike Susan B. Anthony who was already deceased before the Bill passed in the US Senate in 1920. The situation yesterday was over a legal matter. Is it legal to say "For Women Only?" We are going to find out for sure and then take it before the Senate again on December 7. It is possible for us to have a major for the fall 2007 and according to Dr. Towns, "There is no need to worry." God's timing is perfect. It's really a good thing that this has come to the surface now, so we can make sure everything is of the highest tier regarding our program for women. This also keeps us all in prayer and dependent on God! Let's continue to pray...next big meeting...December 7, 2006 at 3:20!
