Women continue to be the backbone of almost every church across this nation serving in various capacities from the pew to the pulpit. While there is no shortage of women ready to serve in the traditional roles of cooking, cleaning & communion preparation, the opportunities dramatically decrease as the roles advance a few steps to the front of the church into the pulpit. However, there are bold women among us who have honored their pulpit calling; yet they are often met with less than enthusiastic saints & non-believers armed with 1001 reasons why women preachers are somehow less effective than their male counterparts.

On February 21, 2007, First Family Films in association with Vision Gospel Inc. will release EVERY SOLDIER COUNTS, a compelling documentary film that will examine the controversial topic of Christian women leaders Do Women Have the Right to Preach? Executive producers, Grammy Award winner A.R. Johnson along with Jennifer Sparger conducted research for this project over a two year period. The finished product exceeds even their expectations. In this powerful documentary you will meet more than 40 anointed women preachers across denominational lines, and be provoked by others who oppose them. So do women have the right to preach? You decide! Some use the words of Apostle Paul and say no! Others hear the call of God and say yes! No matter where you stand on the issue, you can't afford to sit on it.

Hear from Rev. Dr. Cynthia L. Hale, Dr. Betty Price, Co-Pastor Susie Owens, Rev. Dr. Elaine Flake, Dr. Suzan Johnson–Cook, Pastor Darlene Bishop, Bishop Millicent Hunter, Dr. Wanda Davis Turner, Dr. N. Cindy Trimm, Bishop Ernestine Reems-Dickerson and Pastor Paula White, just to name a few.... as they share their life changing testimonies and ministry experiences along with expressions of opposition from those who wish to stop this powerful movement of Women In Ministry. Witness candid opinions on key topics such as: The Call to Ministry, The Importance of Christian Education, Prayer, Fasting and Balancing Family Life & Ministry. Gain new insights into their lives and hear REAL stores about REAL issues in the ministry. Knowing that it would either take an act of congress or an official call from on high to add new scriptures to the bible before they are fully accepted; these anointed women are far to gifted to wait for that to occur. Instead they deliver a long awaited empowering message declaring that in the battle of saving souls Every Soldier Counts regardless of gender.
