Priscilla, often mentioned alongside her husband Aquila, stands out in the New Testament as a faithful woman who served the Lord with wisdom, hospitality, and boldness. Together, they were tentmakers and close companions of Paul, who once wrote, “Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: Who have for my life laid down their own necks” (Romans 16:3–4). Their faithfulness wasn't part-time; it was a lifestyle.
One of Priscilla’s most remarkable contributions comes in Acts 18. A passionate preacher named Apollos was teaching in Ephesus, but he lacked a full understanding of the gospel. Priscilla and Aquila took him aside and “expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly” (Acts 18:26). Her influence helped shape one of the most powerful voices of the early church—not through public debate, but through quiet, intentional mentorship.
Priscilla’s example teaches us that ministry isn’t limited by gender, location, or title. Her home was a church. Her heart was for people. Her hands were always ready to serve. She reminds us that the church thrives when men and women work together in faithful, Spirit-filled ministry.
Today, be encouraged to use your knowledge, your home, and your life to invest in others. Whether teaching, mentoring, or simply encouraging, you can help raise up the next generation of faithful servants—just like Priscilla did.
