In the church set -up in Africa, it is usually the pastors’ wife to lead the women Ministry in Church and thus has responsibility over guiding, correcting and leading the young female adults into the journey of marriage. It is ideal that a young adult enters into marriage only by church ceremony and after being blessed by her parents/guardians and her pastors. This journey calls for strict watching over, guidance and at times rebukes which lead to corrections as the young adults takes the Journey.
The challenge is, most pastors wives in the rural areas have not themselves walked down the aisle of purity into marriage. Some got to know Christ after getting into marital relationships with their husbands, have had children and have never wedded officially.
Because of inadequate finances amidst other challenges, most of these have failed to wed officially, much as they have great desire to do so. They lack government charge fees, wedding gowns, saloon requirements, wedding cakes, food to feed guests among others.
This has put the pastors’ wives esteem in this category very low. They feel inadequate to stand or even talk to stubborn erroring young adults, they cannot listen to them since they seem to have taken the same route and they see their daughters in Church erroring without much help to give; this is so hurting!
SHFF has since designed a project to help stand with the pastors’ wives move out of this shame and build their self-esteem in guiding the young adults in Church.
