What a wonderful weekend the ladies had at the Southern Missouri District Women’s Retreat down at the AG campgrounds. Lives were changed, bodies healed, and growth abounded during the two-and-a-half day retreat. It was exciting to see our ladies bonding and fellowshipping as one body with 400 hundred other Pentecostal women. Although there were many trials and tribulations both to and from the conference, we can all stand and proclaim that our God is faithful as our protector and guide.
Our keynote speaker, Marigold Cheshier, led several powerful services in which she challenged us to embrace the power and authority we have in Jesus Christ. On Thursday night, several women were baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues at the altar. Friday night brought many miraculous healings and deliverances from the bondage of sin. Saturday morning concluded with the confirmation for many women at Eastpoint Family Church that we serve a God who is relevant, and worthy of our time and attention every day.
Perhaps the most exciting part of the entire conference was when our very own pastor’s wife was given the opportunity to give a testimony to the entire body of Christ during the Saturday morning service. As Sister Bonnie began to speak, the Holy Spirit anointed the message she was bringing forth. It is so amazing to see how God uses the willing vessel in a powerful and perfect way to preach the Good News. Each one of us that attended the conference is enthusiastically awaiting this upcoming year to see what our God will do next. In addition, we have already marked out our calendars for next year’s conference and are diligently budgeting our check books for the adventure.
