CHOSEN 2023
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Hello, Woman of Purpose,
I’m glad you were able to make it here. The Women of Purpose Conference is an annual time of refreshing, renewal, and refocus for women of all ages. It is a conference designed for women who love God, as well as women who desire to know and pursue their God-given purpose here on earth.
The theme for this year’s conference is CHOSEN, inspired by 1 Peter 2:9 - 10.
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” (1 Peter 2: 9 - 10).
Hey sis, you were God’s intention in every way. "Chosen", in this scripture, means a very personal choice and that’s what God calls you. God has called you and chosen you specially for His purpose and callings. In this conference, I believe the Lord wants to move you deeper into His calling and purpose. There will be various panel discussions, sessions, and speakers who will minister to you in this regard, and my prayer is that you’ll be activated and forever changed as you encounter His power and presence at this conference.
Please don’t miss it. I'm looking forward to seeing you there as we all meet to encounter our father.
In Christ’s love,
Pst. Bimbola Lawore.
