Lima Jamir, while delivering a speech on the topic, ‘the role of an associate pastor women in today’s’ context’, exhorted the audience that in today’s world the role of a church worker has become very vast and vital. He maintained that the society is looking towards the church as the only hope in the world; and in such a situation, it is very important to press forward and serve the Lord, without thinking whether one is a male or female.
