Once upon a time...about seven years ago...I had the immense joy and privilege of co-leading with my dear friend, Tara, a weekend conference/retreat for young women called A Maiden's Quest. Those of you who have read this blog for a long time now might remember those days. They were days of hard work and great blessing as we coordinated these conferences multiple times a year for two years all over the country. The goal of the conference was to provide encouragement and inspiration for teenage girls to love the Lord their God wholeheartedly and to pursue His best in their lives.
One of the young ladies who attended several of those retreats was deeply impacted by them and has the desire to keep the encouragement going. She was 14 years old at that first conference; now she is 21. Her name is Vanessa Lopez, and along with three of her cousins, she is organizing (for the second time!) a very similar girls' conference next month in Sugar Land, Texas called "That She May Be Holy."
I am thrilled to be returning to conference ministry as one of the speakers for this event! The topics I will be sharing on include: "Set-Apart Singleness", "A Love Story Written By God", and "Missions in Motion: Real-Life Inspiration for Reaching Your World." Other speakers will be addressing topics such as Reclaiming a Joyful Life, Guarding Your Heart in the Social Media, The High Cost of Free Love, and Living With Vision.
If you are a young lady reading this blog who would like some encouragement in your walk with the Lord, come join us at the conference! Sometimes, we all just need a bit of refreshment.
You can get the details about the conference at: www.thatshemaybeholy.com
Also, here is the promotional video for That She May Be Holy:
(Just to be clear, I am not organizing this retreat; I am simply serving as an invited speaker. While the setup will be very similar to A Maiden's Quest, it will have its own style in many ways, including a more contemporary worship environment, which some of you may or may not prefer.)
