Fight Like a Girl Curriculum- cool!

As a conference planner, it was so fun
to attend the St Louis conference and
not be in charge of anything, I was so
relaxed! (tee hee.) It was great to watch
Lisa "in action",using her God given gift's
of teaching and encouragement to spark
hope and vision into women from all walks
of life. I brought home one thing from the
event, and that was the "Fight Like a Girl" curriculum!
This will be available at the WJOF conference for
those who want to host a study in their home or church.

www.lisabevere.org "In a world that has blurred the gender
lines, it's not easy to discern between God's ideas on femininity

Called to "walk on water"....

I recently attended a conference in St.
Louis with my mom and we had an amazing
time together. Lisa Bevere was one of the
speakers who shared for 1 session from her
book "Fight Like a Girl" to a crowd of 19,000
women! I had much confirmation that God
chose Lisa to speak an annointed message
for us on Nov 3-4 @ Empowered. The exciting
part is that she gets to speak 4 times at WJOF
. This is one amazing woman who God has raised
up to teach, encourage and inspire women in
their "journey of faith". Her life reflects a
woman who is surrendering herself to the call of God
on her life. As a result she is "Empowering" others to live
a life of holiness through radical obediance...... A catchy phrase I took
home from the conference...
" We are called to be WATER WALKERS! If you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat."

***WJOF empowered tickets are now at 1412.

A Journey of UNITY!

Many people claim that they can "do it on their own". With much pride and
self-worship, that kind of belief system robs one of God's intention for true
authentic Biblical community and HIS design for "family". Being apart of God's
family through faith in Christ is INCREDIBLE. We truly do need each other-
we were created to serve others as we love God. By experiencing God's spirit
"empowering" us- we will understand- accept and celebrate that ALL true believers
in Christ are our FAMILY. After 7 years of women's conference planning, it has
been so enriching meeting other women of faith along the way. Women who have
"walked the line" for their entire lives and others who are new to the faith.
Women's Journey of Faith esteems UNITY. Regardless of one's church affiliation,
denomination, or worship preferences, our heart is to fulfill the prayer of Christ
"that they all be one." .With God's grace and Empowering Love available for us,
there is no excuse for sibling rivalry!

Paths unknown... leading- lighting-straightening!

I will lead them in paths they have not yet seen....

Our conference planning team met this past week
to report, pray and encourage one another in our
respective roles. Women from different walks of life:
(Admin assistant, TV anchor, Pastor's wives, artistic
directors, store manager, accountant...) different
church denominations: (Mennonite, Lutheran, Free-
Methodist, Pentecostal,etc) all gathering together
for one purpose. To use our gifts, time, talents,
experiences to host yet another WJOF event in
November. We opened up the meeting with a devotional from
Isaiah 42:16 which reads:

"I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths
they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, And crooked
places straight. These things I will do for them, And not forsake them."

With the conference less than 8 weeks away, this scripture is just jumping
off the pages for me. To wake us up a bit and do something a bit "different",
I led the team in a silent treck hiking on our property on the acreage and
up a little hill to reflect on this passage more. This passage speaks
Empowerement....... God's power for those who do not know Him yet-
AND His power for those who do- yet have so much more to experience.
Notice how the Word says "I will" 3 times. All we have to do is be good
listeners and followers and HE will do His Empowering work through us.
