Building bridges to Christ

By Carol Caputo

NASHVILLE, Tennessee--Fourteen WCG women from Michigan, West Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee and New Jersey attended Women's Ministry Symposium V--Building Bridges to Christ May 14 to 16.

The symposium, sponsored by the Women's Ministry Institute, was about "bringing women together in leadership, to learn spiritual insight, wisdom and equipping tools to stay relevant in ministry in our changing culture and society."

One word that captured the heart of the fifth symposium was transformation.

The symposium dealt with the following questions:

* How can God transform me to follow Christ beyond my cultural walls?

* How can God transform me in order that I might be broken and spilled out for the love of Jesus?

* Where does transformation need to occur that I might be radical in leadership in order to have a radical relevant relationship that builds bridges?

Workshops were conducted before the symposium to answer these questions.
