The Women's Seminar was so much fun and we were able to minister to more than 150 women. It began on Friday afternoon, with worship, skits by the Kid's Club Leaders, then Bible teaching from two of the Hope of the Nations staff. Pictured below is the women worshipping. The women love to dance and sing to God, it is so much fun!!
Saturday morning began with worship again, another skit and then I (Julie) began teaching on the book of Esther. Overcoming fear and trusting God was the main theme. Just as the king offering his scepter to Esther represented life, Jesus offers us life through his cross. Each women received a cross pin as a reminder that life is found in Jesus.
I (Janet) taught on how valuable we are to God, using the parable of the lost coin and the lost sheep. I stressed how we need to see ourselves and others as God sees us and treat one another as a person of value. At the end of the talk the women stood and made a decision to live like a person who is valuable and loved. I gave each one of them a penny to remind them that God values each person like He values His son.
It was an exciting 2 days! We saw over 30 decisions for Christ made! Here is a picture of Julie and I with the women - can you find us!!!
Wow! How awesome is this! Lives being saved. People glorifing God. What's better than that! What a great conference. PTL!

ReplyDeleteIt brings tears to my eyes seeing how God is working in all of you to transform lives! Avery asked if we could go to Africa today and I cannot wait until I can tell her yes so that we can be there serving. Love you and miss you!
ReplyDeleteAmen to what everyone else said!
ReplyDeleteAfter close scrutiny I was able to pick the two of you out in the group picture....but it was hard because I mainly saw the joy of Jesus in each face.
Love and Hugs,
