Kvinnene har som regel vært de som har støttet meg mest i det praktiske menighetsarbeidet. I misjonsforeninger, diakonat, basarer, og mange andre områder har de vært drivekraften. De er fobedere og er på mange måter kraften i Guds rike.

intercessor, intercessory prayer

I am not really sure, but since it's religious, perhaps it could be "intercessory prayer", and prayer here meaning "person who prays"?
Peer comment(s):
