Well, I'm not so sure about that because my pastor's wife is doing a great job bring women closer to God, but a a point you might want to think she's not entirely wrong.
Read her statement after the cut...
Sarah stated that if she wanted to learn how to decorate a cupcake, she would go to a class specifically designed for that purpose, not to church. She adds that home decorating classes should be left to the professionals, not a group of women who are supposed to be learning the ways of Christ.
A wife, mother of three, and resident of Abbotsford in British Columbia, Canada, Bessey believes that women going to church to drink from the knowledge of Jesus are dying of thirst because of the unrelated events they have to sit through.
Church should not be a place where women gather to complain about how much housework they have to do or share the latest neighborhood gossip, it should be a place where women come together in faith and worship their Creator, according to Bessey. She adds that women’s church groups should be showing their members how they can live up to the expectations of God because they were created in His divine image.
Bessey would rather listen to the average woman in the group share her story about faith in Christ than listen to invited speakers tell her how to decorate her home or try a new recipe. She adds that having Bible studies with a nicely flowered book cover is not how she believes she can come closer to God and His wisdom.
When Idelette McVicker, founder and editor-in-chief of Shelovesmagazine wrote the following verses, she hit the nail right on the head, according to Bessey.
Let us RISE to the questions of our time.
Let us SPEAK to the injustices in our world.
Let us MOVE the mountains of fear and intimidation.
Let us SHOUT down the walls that separate and divide.
Let us FILL the Earth with the fragrance of Love.
Let us be women who Love.
Women’s ministries should be designed to bring members closer together in their faith and help each other in times of need or distress, not a safe place where women can pretend to be doing good works, concludes Bessey.

Not all christian women ministries are doing that. some are dedicate to inspiring young women.

No be nose-ring i dey see for her nose so and she had the audacity to say christian ministries are not needed. as a matter of fact, she need one ASAP!!!
To some extent she's right, but not all christian ministries are guilty o this.
@MaryOlalekan, you're right o. I no even see the earring for her nose. She's the last person to be talking against women's ministry.
