From Pentecost to the final chapter of Paul’s letter to the Romans, ministry through women in the early church carried the message of Jesus throughout the Greko-Roman world. Women like Phoebe, Junia, Lydia, Priscilla, and more were considered disciples, apostles, co-laborers, deacons, and ministers. These women are not footnotes of the movement, but leaders - alongside men - who accepted the mission of Jesus to go make disciples of all nations.
