No greater joy

Discipling women is what I want to do, but I have to say it's not always very exciting. When I did my MTS apprenticeship I met with a handful of women week-in and week-out for a couple of years. We'd read a chunk of the Bible, talk about what it meant, talk about our lives and pray. It felt pretty ordinary. It's only now, three years later, that I can really guess at the fruit of what we did back then. Some of these women have progressed steadily, trusting God through good times and bad, some have flourished, some have gone a bit off course, but in every case there's mutual respect and trust and I consider them my friends.
