“I wanted to express my gratitude for the opportunity to speak with you today. I was so blessed by attending the Celebration gathering in Houston last week. My soul was aching for connection (community) and when I learned that my bishop was the keynote speaker, I immediately booked a flight from Yakima, WA. This was my first solo trip, and I was covered in God's grace the entire time. The tears began to flow with the first few notes of "Kingdom Come" and continued throughout the weekend. I was beyond blessed by the preaching and sharing in each session.The healing and communion services were the highlight of the weekend, where the Spirit healed my heart. Ministry has been difficult in the Pacific Northwest, but gathering with new sisters in Christ was a balm to my soul. I look forward to gathering again with you all!”

“Speaking at the Celebration Women’s Ministry National Conference was an unforgettable honor, and I was deeply moved by how powerfully the theme Receive came to life throughout our time together. From the very beginning, there was a sense of expectancy in the room—women arriving with hearts open to what the Lord might pour into them. I was touched by so many conversations, by the stories shared with raw vulnerability, and by the beautiful moments of connection with women who said they were finally ready to release the weight they’d been carrying and let God take the lead. It was humbling to witness the Spirit at work, gently restoring hope, offering healing, and knitting hearts together in sacred community. I left with my own heart full, reminded once again that when we come ready to receive, God is always ready to meet us there.”

“Jesus took a weight off my shoulders. I am letting go of that little girl who has kept me from growing up.”

“I have learned so much about the Word of God and enjoyed the peace and joy the Holy Spirit gives.”

“I accepted Jesus as my Lord for the first time”

“I experienced such hunger among the women of Celebration to know more about the power of the Holy Spirit to heal. We learned how the Spirit moves, and how that is best expressed in our Wesleyan context. What a great learning and growing experience!”
