woman of faith
WOMAN OF FAITH.
From humble beginnings in KZN, she is a simple Zulu girl, whose life has been changed by the grace of the Lord Jesus.
Pinky Mthetwa grew up very very poor. She says the day she gave her life to Jesus, things took a turn for the better. There is a song from Shirley Caesar that says when you come in contact with God you are never the same again. This was so true for Pastor Pinky, because God has made her into a powerful, God fearing woman. “I am comfortable with who I am for now”.
She tells me where God has taken her from and lead her to. From a place where she was deep in sin; she's is now growing in faith, prayer and fasting, overcoming by grace the things that held her back - they don’t have hold over her anymore. She has been granted the power to overcome the devil. She is still on her journey. “I’m getting there”.
Her greatest passion is poor people, helping them in anyway she can: clothes, food and anything she can help with. She tells me, she knows how it feels. She says she knows when you are poor, you just wish that there could be that somebody who can help you, an angel, she wants to be that angel for somebody. She has a project that helps under-privileged people, but because of finances and other circumstances, the project had to come to a hold. “I love poor people”.
Pastor P. Bagah is a mother and a loving wife. The legacy she would love to leave behind for her family is the legacy of love. She loves her family, her kids and her husband, she wants them to know that even in death. She wants her kids to know that you need to cherish people and have compassion, that is one of the other legacies she would love to leave behind, one of compassion. She wants her kids to have patience with people and share what they have, if they do have.
Being a pastor's wife puts a little more pressure on her because as the wife of a pastor, you don’t have a 9-5 job, but have a 24/7 job. You don’t just live for yourself, but for others. You sometimes want to just breakdown, but you think of everyone depending on you and you need to smile more than others because people depend on you and you need to be willing to wake up late even at midnight to pray for someone or just to listen. There's pressure. you find that I have to deal with the kids on one side and the church on the other.“ I have no time off”.
At home she is at work.
Pastor Pinky Bagah has been on radio a number of times preaching. I asked what she feels about women in ministry. As a woman in the ministry she feels that God has opened doors to women in the ministry. In the past the where things that we dubbed as being only for male Pastors, God knows there is much potential in women and He is using them more and more. Being on radio is humbling for her, because she does not just talk to 2 or 3 people but she speaks to many people and that way she is able to reach more people for the Gospel. “As women, I thank God for the doors He is opening for us”. God is really raising up great women in the ministry and Pastor P. Bagah happens to be one of them.
She is enjoying where she is and believes that God is taking her places. For women in ministry there is a certain attitude towards them. Pastor P. Bagah feels like female Pastor aren’t as well treated as males Pastors are. There is more pressure on women. People look at all aspects of their lives, the way they raise their children, their home life, how they carry themselves and their marriage. You find that if a male Pastor does something wrong, people don’t take as much care for it then if it had been a female Pastor or leading ladies.
Her best bible quote is Psalms 91 “ you are safe” . Pastor P. Bagah has written an unpublished book which she would like to be publishe in the next five years. Her book speaks about; "women arise, women have been held down for so many years, I believe it is time for women to arise, and do something for themselves". She knows the Lord will groom her spiritually and use her in His ministry worldwide. She loves travelling and so preaching the Word around the world is one of her dreams.
Pastor’s biggest dream “for now” is to own her own beautiful home.
Truly a woman after Gods own heart. From a humble start, to a graceful life. God knows where He is taking her and if He can take someone out of poverty into provision, out of sin into grace, then God lives. I love how Pastor says, “I'm getting there”, even being a pastor does not mean you are perfect, but it means that you are walking in the light and grace. God is using women all over for His gospel and if only we will call to His name, and let Him change our lives.
Thank you to pastor P. Bagar for chatting with us and inspiring us.
