Once again, we will be posting the life stories of Adventist women of former times during March, Women’s History Month. This time we are concentrating on women who devoted their lives as missionaries. This year the church is celebrating 150 years of Adventist missions, and it is really interesting to see that women were among the first missionaries to enter many new countries.
The articles this month will be taken from the Adventist Encyclopedia where you can continue reading about the women presented and find many more: https://encyclopedia.adventist.org/
We also encourage you to do your own research about women who have made an impact in your countries so that we can lift up their devotion and life achievements in the future. We mustn't forget the women who have gone before us.
The records of many of the pioneer missionary women have been hidden within the life stories of their husbands. Still, there were also single women who devoted their lives to taking God’s message to unentered countries. I am looking forward to discovering more about women in mission in the early days of our church.
