The purpose is to deepen the understanding that the supporting role of wives played in the ministry field is as important as that of pastors, teachers, evangelists and Christian workers. A special focus is given to nurturing fellowship between seminary wives through the devotions, sharing, praying and camaraderie over the meals. Together, these aspects of the MWF encourage women to make the time at seminary an enjoyable and profitable time as students, spouses, and faculty as they learn from each other.
