Shepherdess Conference
Gathering Christ’s community of female kingdom workers to...
-Refocus on the Savior we serve
-Revisit Biblical principles of ministry
-Adjust our eyes on eternity
-Network with fellow Christian women
Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus to others in this world. Thank you for giving your time and your energy to His work. We would like to invite you to the Shepherdess Conference that is coming up in October! This weekend is designed for ladies who have a heart for ministry. We've had many women question whether they are "in ministry". If you are following Jesus and are finding ways to use your gifts to serve other people in His name, YOU are indeed in ministry. We hope you'll consider coming and finding encouragement from like-minded ladies!
We are committing to praying through September and October, that God brings exactly who He wants to be there and that He speaks the message that He wants spoken through the speakers. We are studying in Colossians this year, focusing on the times that 'walk' is mentioned. It shows up in every chapter! Our faith is an active one! One that requires our Lord's help and guidance to be effective. What a blessing to be in His Kingdom.
Hope to see you there!
In His service,
Amelia, Elizabeth and Kara
