Keep Looking for Innovative Ways to Bless Women

Meet Bev Amsbary-Davenport!

Bev and Luann spent a half hour together talking about Bev’s years serving as director of womens ministries at Emmanuel Faith church in Escondido, California. Bev began serving in the high school department until one day, her pastor Dr. Richard Strauss invited Bev to be the first director of women.

Bev was a gifted pioneer overseeing 30 different ministries for women.

As you listen to the interview, you’ll love Bev’s heart. We talk about feeling unqualified to serve, dealing with criticism, the value of having a team of women, being a mentor and having mentors, what brought her joy, and how they were always being innovative in how they sought to bless others.

Bev’s been retired from ministry for many years now but is still just as much in love with Jesus and passionate about reaching her friends for Christ as ever. She’s an example to all of us. What a delight to spend time with her.
