Governments everywhere have ministries dedicated to women's affairs. I know of only one with a Ministry for Women Empowerment: Indonesia. Charged with the 'realization of gender equality and justice' together with children's well-being, the ministry frames gender equality as a matter of justice.
Priesthood is forever and does not cease when a priest cannot carry out that priestly ministry.
Organizations are accumulations of historical debris. They are not consciously thought. So when you ask the Education Ministry ‘What's your core function and who's your client?' they laugh at you. When I say that the client is the Afghan child - and the Ministry is an instrument, not the goal - it's greeted with shock. It's a new idea.
I think I can hold every portfolio - defense, finance and Foreign Ministry. I think personally I'd like the foreign office.
I reached a point where - I have a real heart and concern for families and for youth, and the more I became involved in working through a ministry, the more I realized how powerful the entertainment industry was and how irresponsible it was.
I realized my calling was to use the arts and ministry to help young people.
I am looking forward to even greater healings and miracles in my ministry.
When it comes to the income of the ministry, I have no problem talking about it or what happens to the money.
My mom was a nurse, and my dad worked in the Health Ministry as a civil servant. When I was 6 years old, my dad got a job at the Sri Lankan High Commission in Canada, so we moved there.
Our first remark on this subject is that the ministry is an office, and not merely a work.
