I will give that a hearty AMEN!
Yes there are. Lots of women preach every day with how they live their lives. Every one of us is required to be a witness and share the hope that we have in Christ.
Many women are gifted preachers and teachers. And when they serve under the leadership of the elders, they are to be commended.
Priscilla and Aquilla taught Apollos.
Now in the church, male elders are to lead, not lording it over the people, but willingly. They are to serve.
In the home, husbands are to lead in the same manner that Christ lead and gave himself for the church.
So let's not say there isn't such a thing as a woman preacher. There are.
There are also women pastors, who shepherd and care for the flock under them (SS classes, choir directors, nursery workers, hospitality groups, etc.).
The elders of the church are men, but the gifts of ministry are open to both genders.

In scripture there have been many women who spoke for God. They just were not pastors.
I tend to think the gospel is not just tied to men.
Romans 10:14-15, "How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!"
