Women's Ministry in Tidewater: I have always felt that women's ministries in Tidewater face strong spiritual opposition--especially ministries for women in leadership. It is hard to find a long-term group for pastors' wives in Tidewater, for instance. Where are there support groups for other women in ministry? All this is related to the sins of our forefathers. The enemy has oppressed women through men in Tidewater since the founding of the Virginia Colony in 1607. Women were excluded from the first three ships to land here. Of the first two wives who came to Jamestown, one was killed by her husband--- to be eaten in the famine of 1610. In 1619, the the first large group of women came to Jamestown: 90 women sold as servants or wives to some very rough men. Many women, white and black, died here in those early years--worked to death as servants in the tobacco fields of Tidewater.
Therefore, it is important to encourage women and ministries to them and by them whenever we can to defeat the enemies plans to harm the lives and ministries of women. Marie Umidi has led The Man called Jesus play all over the world for over 20 years! Katherine Allen has led the region's largest ministry to sexually-broken lives through Sought Out for many years. Here is one such ministry that I just came across that you may want to know about. It appears to be led by an African-American lady with a healing ministry to women.

This is a detailed historical and theological appeal to the Church to repent for the sins of our fonding fathers here in Tidewater, Virginia. Without significant repentance by the Church, these sins will continue to plague our region and qualify us for more of God's judgment that is coming on all of America. some repentance occurred in the last two months, especially for Native American issues, but 98% of the Church in Tidewater was not involved and is still clueless about those sins and their effects on people today.
My nose is better! The surgery went extremely well. I was full of joy that day and I can breath and sleep better now. Thanks for praying with me through that. ---Bob Fox
