HAWAII BECKONS YOU TO THE BWA WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, 2010
Every five years, Baptist women have the privilege of spending a few wonderful days with hundreds of sisters from every continent--laughing, learning, singing, praying, sharing, getting to know one another, and celebrating how God is using women to transform the world. So we’d love to see you at the next Baptist World Alliance Women’s Leadership Conference, July 24-27, 2010 at the Sheraton Waikiki in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Now’s the time to register. Or consider whom you could send from your church women’s organization. Think how you could provide a scholarship so she can benefit from this international gathering. We encourage you to form a Circle of Ten.
Hear Linda Weber and Patsy Davis talk about this exciting conference in a podcast interview with Virginia Holmstrom of American Baptist Women’s Ministries.
