The Biblical Role of the Pastor's wife - South African Theological ...

ACKOWLEDGEMENTS
To my wonderful husband, Daryl, for whom I hold great respect and
admiration, without his consistent prayers and loving encouragement, this work
would not have been completed. I thank my parents and brother who have loved me
unconditionally and encouraged me to be and do my very best in all things. To my
‘original’ pastor and his wife, Reginald and Valerie Lush who are exemplary models
of Christ-likeness and who have never wavered in their support and prayer for me.
To my supervisor, Kevin, for his patient encouragement and wise counsel, I sincerely
thank him. To my colleagues at SATS who have provided the opportunity to chat,
debate, deliberate my thoughts and have given me seven wonderful years of
fellowship. To all the pastors’ wives who gave of their time and knowledge for this
research and who give of themselves tirelessly for the encouragement of others, “Let
us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds… and all
the more as you see the Day approaching” Heb. 10:24-25. The Lord has brought
about all these things (1 Cor. 10:26) and to Him belongs all the glory (Eph. 3:20, 21).
With a grateful heart,
