As part of its mission, Deaconess Jones has created a network of deaconess to share their wisdom, information and experience in fellowship. This network includes pastors, deacons and, at is core, is a unified body of deaconess who, by virtue of their agenda, are strategically in the wisdom and temperament to minister to and meet the needs of women. Such a network does not work in isolation, but in cooperation with pastors, the church and deacons. Our pastors need help, not competition, to unify and meet the needs of the congregation. Such a dedicated body of deaconess is committed to modeling the ministry of Jesus as outlined in Luke 4:18.
I am convinced "the poor" referred to in Luke 4:18 are primarily "the poor in spirit," for such were the first category of humankind addressed in the beatitudes. We can clearly see that spiritual poverty leads down a desolate road to broken-heartedness, spiritual captivity, spiritual blindness, emotional, psychological, and even mental bruising. Such is the sad and chaotic reality not only of women who are not members of any church congregation, but of women who are a part of almost every congregation. This, I believe, is the dismal and depressing spiritual climate into which God desires to send forth deaconess united and armed with the liberating message of Christ.
To this end, we have established a Deaconess Association where deaconess come from across this city and abroad to create a stronger and more unified body of deaconess, pooling our collective resources, experience and brilliance, thus empowering us to meet the diverse needs and societal challenges the 21st Century presents.
