A woman who has received a testimony of Jesus and enjoys the spirit of revelation. A prophetess does not hold the priesthood or its keys. Though only a few women in the scriptures are called prophetesses, many prophesied, such as Rebekah, Hannah, Elisabeth, and Mary.
Miriam was called a prophetess, Ex. 15: 20. Deborah was called a prophetess, Judg. 4: 4. Huldah was called a prophetess, 2 Kgs. 22: 14 (2 Chr. 34: 22). Anna was called a prophetess, Luke 2: 36.
The word "Missionary" was not used in the early church, but a good candidate for the first female missionary might be Priscilla. Aquila and his wife Priscilla were Jewish Christians who had been forced to leave Italy by the Romans. The Apostle Paul met them when he arrived in Corinth. Two years later when Paul set sail for Syria, they went with him. Later, they show up again in Ephesus, giving training to other young missionaries.
Although Priscilla and Aquila are always mentioned together, it is interesting that Priscilla is usually listed first. In that culture, it was significant that Priscilla is named at all, and already speaks to the fact that her role was far more than simply "Aquila's wife." For her to be named before her husband suggests that her role in these missionary activities was greater than that of her husband.
Yes there were Woman preachers in he bible
Read Luke 2
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
mary the prostitute, after Jesus healed her. she began to preach.
Women are allowed and every people around the globe is allowed.It depends upon their determination to proclaim Jesus or his father.
There were no women preachers in The Bible. If what you mean by preaching, going out and telling others about the gospel as a witness I am sure the women disciples did this.
Prayer is talking to God. In this case it would be Eve.
Eve was the first woman in the bible.
eve!
Wycliff was the first. His preacher boys would go across the English country side, reciting the parts of the Bible they had memorized to the farmers and workers. There were also hand written copies of the Wycliff Bible. The first published Bible came later, in the Tyndale translation.
Adam and Eve were the first
Jezebel

Eve, the first woman in the Bible was made out of one of Adam's (the first man) ribs when God put him to sleep.

The congregation listen as they do with any preacher.
Fundamentalist Christians are those who take what it says in the Bible quite literally and without question. If St. Paul tells women to wear their hair long (which he does) they wear their hair long. A preacher is someone who lectures or speaks to groups about religion--in this case about fundamentalist Christianity. Such a preacher is likely to get very excited when he lectures and to hold a floppy Bible in one hand at all times, so he can refer to it in his speech. This one is apparently "reclusive", which means that when he is not preaching he stays away from people and is not social,
