CCC Mar 15, Janet Thompson "Face To Face With Priscilla and Aquila"

Janet Thompson
"Face-To-Face With Priscilla and Aquila"
New Hope Publ., 2011, 978-1-59669-295-4, $8.99
Priscilla and Aquila made an impact on those they served. So much so they were mentioned numerous times by the Apostle Paul in his writings as examples of servant leadership in the early church. Sadly, many couples today serve apart from one another in the church, if they serve at all. By not serving together, they miss out on blessings that can only come through investing in Kingdom work as a couple. Janet explores the importance of serving together and leading together within the context of both the church and everyday life. www.womantowomanmentoring.org
