De Bron

I had the very lucky privilege of being at the TED workers meetings in De Brun in September. I was one of the few ministerial students who were allowed a look into this wonderful world of pastors and workers and it made for an interesting time.

One of the highlights for me was the impromptu meeting some of the women ministers had at that time. They managed to squeeze a minute in-between meetings and I was so encouraged by seeing the range of women in ministry currently. It was a true blessing to witness and to so many women from different backgrounds, cultures, races and ages together and talking about their work in ministry.

One of the most encouraging points was their willingness to embrace the female student ministerial students at Newbold. They have now got an email list that they would like us to be a part of. They are planning a retreat for the female ministers and would like to coincide it with our semesters so that we can be a part of it and they can encourage us. All in all it was an inspiration and they were an encouragement.

So on the back of that session we would like to meet with all the female DTS students next week Tuesday lunch in the canteen so we can have a chat about the session and see what we can do. We would like to collect email addresses so they can go on the mailing list. Also have a think about anything we might need or any support that would be good for us.

Please come along share lunch and fellowship with your fellow female DTS students, bring your ideas and enjoy some time together.
