The growing church in the Book of Acts modeled the fulfillment of prophecy that His Spirit would be poured out on all people, men and women, old and young, to tell forth God’s message (Acts 2:15–18). They participated in the establishment of the Church as the Holy Spirit filled all of the believers in Acts 2, and as a result they announced the great things that God had done. They gave witness to the resurrection as the Lord Jesus commanded the women in Matthew 28:1–10. Women who serve in obedience to God’s call follow the example in Luke 8:1–3 where women participated with the disciples in the public ministry of Jesus. This call, distinct from human vocational choice, is exercised through God-given and Holy Spirit empowered giftedness for an effective witness about Jesus Christ and proclamation of biblical truth for the purpose of reconciling people to God and equipping God’s people to fulfill the Great Commission to “make disciples of all nations.” Consecration in The Christian and Missionary Alliance is the public recognition and affirmation of God’s call to women for a lifetime of service.
