The Priscilla Academy of Ministerial Excellence for Women

What are the characteristics of a Priscilla Minister?  

A woman that has adopted the mantra of  "for God I live and for God I die". She has committed herself to what the Lord has placed within her and she knows that the anointing on her life is solidified in Christ. She has a hunger for God's word and strives to teach the souls assigned to her with grace, humility and efficiency.
