Women Ignited for God’s Purpose
COLLEGE STATION, TEX. – The “Ignite” Women’s Conference was held on March 23, 2024, at the College Station Seventh-day Adventist Church for women ready to fulfill their God-given purpose. The event ignited the participants’ faith, empowered their spirit and connected them with believers.
The conference featured an impressive lineup of presenters, including Miriam Feese, Kennetia Brooks, Audra Holt and Texas Conference English women’s coordinator Sandralee Mars.
Through a series of keynotes and interactive workshops, attendees explored topics ranging from mental health to leadership and improving their prayer life. Participants could feel the collective determination to engage in meaningful introspection. The speakers shared vulnerable stories and practical advice that motivated the ladies to be ready to take on new challenges with the Lord’s guidance.
The conference provided ample opportunities for community building. Participants connected with other women, exchanged testimonies and formed meaningful relationships. Their final charge involved personalizing Luke 9:24, “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.”
Events like Ignite create a safe space for women to learn, release and commit. This life-changing juncture, for most of the ladies, was where their insight met their God-given passions and gave birth to new commitments to God. It surely helped to have an authentic and supportive environment where all the women were unified in surrendering their lives to find the life Christ has for them.
When asked about takeaways from the event, some attendees shared:
“We received power and authority to do God’s work.”
“I am inspired to be more connected daily with God.”
“I am inspired to align myself to God’s purpose for my life.”
By the grace of God, Ignite organizers have already begun planning for another conference to continue providing experiences that help women embrace their calling because their light is needed in this dark world.
