This past weekend, I was with family I had never met before in Wichita Falls, Texas. Yep, it was Fresh Grounded Faith! Sister, it was like going home.
In Christ, we are brothers and sisters, and it was so obvious at this event. Let me just tell you two quick stories that proved this.
Our second spring conference, Fresh Grounded Faith West Monroe, is a wrap. What a weekend it was! The Lord drew many women to the altar to meet with Him as He ministered to their needs. It was so beautiful to see His hand at work!
There were over 100 volunteers who helped make this thing happen. Greeters, hospitality, special needs, book table volunteers … there were all sorts of women doing all sorts of jobs.
Ready, set, go! This weekend we kicked off our first Fresh Grounded Faith event of 2019 in Augusta, Georgia.
Oh, girl, they were ready when we got there. These women were on fire. They were so full of life and love and I felt like it was a family reunion with women I just met. They had set every detail for a great weekend and we did go for it! We laughed, worshipped, learned what it means to be unshakeable, and made tons of new friends.
Fresh Grounded Faith Memphis was an inspiring way to finish up the 2018 event season! Personally, I don’t think it could have ended any better. This conference epitomized our model of unity in the Body of Christ.
Ellen Olford, the Memphis Local Conference Coordinator, has such a heart for women of all ages, all backgrounds, all colors, all nationalities … and it showed! This event was a beautiful tapestry of color!
She came, she saw, and she was in awe! God was so good to us this weekend at Fresh Grounded Faith Springfield!
The theme was “She Can” and our verse was Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” We learned to speak the three hope confessions of “She Can” women and the three actions of a “She Can woman.” Wow is all I can say!
I not only taught the truth of Philippians 4:13 from the stage, but we also saw it on stage in my friends, Katherine Wolf and Sheila Walsh. Katherine taught us that the good things often are the hard things, and Sheila encouraged us to invite God into all areas of our lives—including our past and our shame.
Fresh Grounded Faith St. Louis opened with the women in the worship center counting down … 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 … followed by loud cheers! They were so excited that the Lord had brought Fresh Grounded Faith to their city. We were excited too!
There were hundreds of reasons why we were full of anticipation—namely the hundreds of amazing women who attended!
