An Invitation to Connect and Be Equipped

by Kathy Foor, Director of Churches of God Women's Ministries

How are you holding up? Are you standing firm or struggling with anxiety? Are you encouraged or do you need encouragement? Are you feeling empty or is your hope overflowing? I hope you are strong in faith and overflowing with peace, hope, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Everywhere I go, though, I see people who are tired, empty, frustrated, anxious, and depressed. As believers, many also feel guilty because they know they’re supposed to be victorious but are not.

The vision of CGWM is to connect and equip women to live boldly for God. Are you living boldly for God? Do you know someone who is? Have you ever given any thought to what that even means? Do you want to live boldly for God but have no idea how to do it?

We have invited Linda and Dave Draper to be our keynote speakers for The Flourish Conference this year because they have lived boldly for God for decades, and we want to hear how and why they have done it. We are excited to hear how God has enabled them to be salt and light to impact their world and learn from them how we can do the same.

We invite you to join us March 3-5 in Findlay, OH, for a weekend encounter with Jesus that we pray will leave you encouraged, equipped, and empowered to live boldly for God. The National Leadership Team of CGWM has been working hard to plan a wonderful event for the CGGC women, but our prayer is that it will have a lasting impact on your life, the life of your family, your church, and even your community as you gain confidence about the ways God wants you to live boldly for Him.

Our breakout session leaders are all women who are living boldly for God in their own context. We want you to hear their stories and learn from them. They are each preparing to share practical tools and strategies that you will be able to put into practice right away.

We know there are many reasons why you might not come, but I hope with all my heart that you will not let anything keep you from attending The Flourish Conference this year. If ever there was a time that we women needed to join together to worship, pray, and learn from one another, this is that time.

Don’t let the enemy keep you isolated and alone. Come encounter Jesus with us and go home equipped and empowered to be fully engaged in living boldly for Christ.

Not feeling very bold? That’s ok. I believe with all my heart that you will by the end of the weekend. So, grab your BFF and get registered!
