Vineyard Women's Conference: Our Unlikely Stories
(Blessing the Variety of our Gifts, Callings & Cultures)
In every culture and ethnic heritage, God has tucked a unique piece of his character. In every woman there are gifts you’ll never see anywhere else in quite the same combination. And in every calling – outside the church and in it, public and hidden – there is God-given dignity and worth. Come and hear from three very different women the stories of how God calls us and shows us our gifts, how we help each other name and ‘own’ that calling and gifting, and how we support each other as we launch out into those unique things God has called us to do. We hope these stories will inspire you to ask bigger questions of God and yourself, and to celebrate the great diversity of gifts, callings and cultures within our own churches.
