On November 23, 2019, a Mission Convention for the Prahova District took place in Ploiesti, Sion Church, Muntenia Conference. The convention was called “The Women who Bring Good News” and the motto was “And her lamp does not go out…”
Seventy women, coordinators and volunteers from Women’s Ministries Department participated in the event. Two women who attended had come into contact with the church through the projects developed by the Women’s Ministries Department, and are now involved in these projects.
On this occasion, the women were motivated and encouraged to be involved in the field both in the church and society. The meeting started with a devotional on “The Samaritan Woman,” presented by Liliana Radu and the emphasis was that when a man or woman meets Jesus, his/her life changes totally, and the personal testimony makes a strong impression on the hearts of people, the love of Christ manifested in people being the greatest witness.
Sister Elida Oncea presented a seminar called “The Woman Ambassador (between good news and gossip)” in a dynamic manner, using quotations from the book “Evangelism”. She helped the audience to understand the supreme sacrifice of Jesus, the solemnity of the time we live in and the ways that we can work, as presented in this book.
The second seminar was presented by sister Eliza Spatarelu and the title was “Which is my place in service?” Presented in an academic way, but easy to understand, the seminar was very useful for the women because they identified the areas where they can work, helping them to find their role in the field of work.
After a meal that we took together, we had an afternoon presentation in which were presented ideas for work, new ideas for projects, and ongoing projects. At the end of this meeting, the sisters left inspired and decided to be more involved in living and sharing the Gospel. May God bless them all!
