5 Simple Ways a Woman Can Make a Monumental Difference
I must confess that right now I have a huge pile of laundry to conquer and a sink full of dishes. The charge to shine brightly and carry Jesus to the lost in this dark world seems beyond my capability. I can’t make time to wash my hair most weeks. How am I supposed to “go into the world” and “make disciples” when I can’t even get to the grocery store to make dinner for my family?
I am just an ordinary woman. Being a world changer on fire for Jesus seems like an impossible challenge most days.
How can I have a missionary heart in the midst of my daily life? Reading through the Bible, I’ve found inspiration from the lives of 5 women who made a monumental difference.
Ordinary acts of obedience can make an extraordinary difference in the lives of others.

5 Ways a Woman Can Make a Monumental Difference
She can pray
Oswald Chambers said, “Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.” I can present the names of my neighbors to the One who transforms lives. Like a modern-day Esther, I am appointed to pray and fast and walk through whatever doors God may open for me to speak the Truth in love.
She can help
God loves to surprise us. If we are in tune with Him, He will present opportunities for us to meet needs and point people toward redemption. Just look at the servant girl in II Kings 5. Naaman needed healing, and she knew a healer. “Let me tell you about Elisha,” she said. Naaman was “all ears.” Right now, someone in your circle of influence needs help. If you respond, you might just help them find healing from their sin as well as help in a time of need.
She can encourage and support
Be a good friend who invests in others. Choose to be fully present, listen, and share your story like Priscilla in the New Testament. The church actually met in her home, and she partnered with her husband to encourage Paul, Apollos, and whoever God brought into her path. (I Corinthians 16:19; Acts 18:26)
She can invite others in
Do you know how to bake a cake? Can you make a pot of coffee? Maybe God wants you to use the gift of hospitality to encourage a hurting family and share the Good News. Lydia did. In Acts 16, we see her inviting people to her home as a springboard to inviting them to Christ.
She can serve
In Acts 9, Paul introduces us to Dorcas, an ordinary woman whose heart beat with compassion for the needy. Like Dorcas, we are called to love the least of these. We don’t need a seminary degree or a huge bank account to accomplish this mission. All we have to do is show up and be willing to get our hands dirty in the name of Jesus. We are called to be His hands and feet in this broken world.
You can choose to be a world changer right now. Pray, help, encourage, invite others in, and serve.
Taking one simple step of faith today can create a monumental difference tomorrow.
