Acts 1:12-14
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. (ESV)

Women are an active, spiritual part in the New Testament. And once again, women are there praying constantly with the apostles. They are all making fervent requests to the Lord in faith. They were choosing another apostle named Matthias to fill Judas’s spot. These were very important decisions that were being made with prayer leading the way, women and men alike were involved.
