Not all churches believe that wwomen can't be preachers, in fact the Salvation Army has had two international leaders who were women. The four square church was started by a woman. Then there is Phoebe Palmer.

Why can't you be a pastor? I know a lot of woman pastors?
Why would you want to be an evangelist?

Oh yes you most certainly can. Who told you that you could not? My niece is going to college to be a junior pastor for her church.
I have been to a few churches where a woman pastored. God uses women to spread his news. Look at Deborah in the bible. She was a strong prophetes. She led an army! You can lead an army to help fight against Satan, for your Lord and Savior. :)

I think that you are missing something rather crucial. What are you called to do? What is your purpose?
The thing about being a Christian is that you gave yourself to be subordinate to someone. He uses you according to HIS will, not yours. Not you sense of 'fairness', and not for your desires to take precedence over the those you are subjected to.
A Christian 'dies' to themselves. They no longer place themselves as being important at all.
So what you are asking is: what you can be? I am not God, neither do I know what you are convinced of. If God calls you to be a pastor, then be the best freaking pastor who ever lived. If He hasn't, then you must tell yourself 'no'. It's not what God wants for you.

We have a woman evangelist who comes to our church quite often. She is an extremely good preacher.

The Bible says that women are to be silent in the church. You aren't supposed to be a pastor or preach in a church. You could be a missionary. Too many people want to pick and choose what they believe from the Bible. They let culture dictate and not the Truth. Please do tell people about Christ. God does not women to rule over men.

The argument is that Jesus had no lady apostles, and the priesthood is meant to be an instantaneous line from the apostles. yet while somebody believes the Bible, there are additionally verses approximately women no longer being in can charge of adult males and not conversing in church. the only human beings i ought to work out calling it sexist could be those like me who acknowledges a fiction e book as quickly as I see it. Is it sexist that for the period of effortless terms women could have toddlers? in the event that they think of God desperate, it somewhat is it, no debate.
