“Women have overcome divorce, financial calamity, academic challenges and many other life-altering crisis through our workshops, empowerment and spiritual guidance by women who have succeeded in ministry, career and academics” says Reverend Elaine Flake. This three-day conference will offer prayer, worship and biblical teaching on how to effectively deal with the loss of a mate, domestic violence, build healthy relationships, overcome sexual abuse and other topics that often plague the lives of women worldwide. Reverend Elaine says “The workshops were created to expand the opportunity to minister to women and address their spiritual and emotional needs.”
Workshops will be taught by some of the most world renowned women in Christendom. Facilitator and guest preachers include award-winning author and daughter of Philadelphia, Bishop Millicent Hunter who is the Founder and Senior Pastor of the Baptist Worship Center of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
