Dorcas/ Tabitha

Dorcas/Tabitha is a perfect role model of a strong woman that had traditional family values, courage, fortitude and good sense. She gave herself, her time and her love to serve the neediest among them of the day which was the widows. Peter resurrected her from death and because of this miracle many came to know Jesus Christ.

Apphia Wife of Philemon

Apphia is only mentioned in Philemon and is believed to be the wife of Philemon. She had a home church in Colossae and was known for hospitality. Just like today Apphia had to contend with false religions. Paul refers to her as being beloved and included her as a fellow laborer. She lived in troubling times in Colossae and faced the same type of influence that we are facing today.

Abigail wife of Nabal

Abigail was the wife of the wicked Nabal, who became a wife of David after the death of Nabal. Abigail was of good character even though her husband was a cheat. It was because of her good character that she averted bloodshed and a punishment from the LORD God upon David. This kind, organized, courageous and wise intelligent woman is an example to independent women of Christ in today’s world.
