Our Theme This Year ~ "Reflecting His Glory"
Psalms 34 reminds us “Those who look to Him are radiant.” As we draw close to our Heavenly Father in a deeper walk with Him, we become radiant women who shine with the beauty of Christ’s love.  God has commissioned us to be lights shining brightly in this world, but it only happens when we abide in His presence and reflect His light.  As we journey toward personal revival, may we illuminate the darkness of this world by reflecting His glory in all we do and say through both our ministries and our lives.   

Journey Together in Prayer

Prayer Leader: Jennifer Dean Kennedy, Praying Life Foundation,
Marion, KY

As we desire to reflect His glory, we humbly come to His Presence through a time of prayer.  This is a time of informal prayer to lift up our needs and seek God’s face, recognizing our need for Him to prepare our hearts and lead us on the journey to revival.

The Prayer Room will be open during the conference.

Moses said to the Lord, “Show me your glory.” God allowed Moses to see a glimpse of His glory, and Moses’ face shown with such radiance that the people of Israel were afraid.  Oh, that our faces would reflect His glory just from being in His presence!  During this session we will be enriched, encouraged and challenged as we learn what the Bible has to say to us specifically about reflecting His glory.
