Abstract
This article is based on recent research about Tamil churchwomen. It brings out how these women are empowered by their female Christian identity and their involvement in the church's mission and evangelistic initiatives, such as house prayer groups. Featuring oral testimonies from a wide variety of women members of Risen Redeemer's Church of South India, the study describes women's mission initiatives, with an emphasis on female participation in church life. It offers a brief overview of three empowering aspects of the informants' Christianity: family heritage, faith through adversity, and biblical concepts of female entitlement. Finally, it explores the women's sense of empowerment through their general involvement in church life by an in‐depth analysis of several individual cases.
