In late 2023, a vision for women’s evangelism took shape within the Carolina Conference’s Hispanic ministries. When the idea was shared with Ricardo Palacios, pastor and Carolina Conference Hispanic ministries coordinator, it received full support, paving the way for a transformative outreach initiative.
The journey began with three days of fasting and prayer, and seeking divine guidance for the mission. Elizabeth Talbot, Ph.D., author of Jesus Wins, played a crucial role in equipping women for evangelism, offering guidance on how to use her study to prepare local church members for leading evangelistic series. The first training session, conducted via Zoom, drew an overwhelming response, with 110 participants eager to embrace the call to ministry. Talbot provided a clear and accessible breakdown of each of the 10 lessons in the study, setting the foundation for what would become a dynamic movement of women-led evangelism.
With the vision in place, the next step was to communicate the project to local churches. Women from congregations across the Carolinas stepped forward to lead small groups and Bible studies, sharing the message of Jesus within their communities. By March 2024, the evangelistic series officially launched, with numerous women accepting the challenge to preach. Some churches featured a different speaker each night, while others had one speaker lead throughout the week.
Through God’s providence, the culmination of these efforts resulted in 170 baptisms, marking a significant spiritual awakening. Additionally, many others have begun Bible studies, continuing their journey toward a deeper understanding of faith.
As women embraced the call to serve, they witnessed firsthand the power of the Holy Spirit at work. Their willingness to step out in faith allowed them to reach new friends and community members eager to learn more about Jesus Christ. Many of these individuals are now preparing for baptism, reflecting the lasting impact of this evangelistic outreach.
In 2025, the initiative will expand to small group evangelism, allowing for a broader reach and deeper engagement in communities. The commitment remains steadfast: to glorify God by equipping women to share His message and extend His kingdom through faithful service.
