Through the story of Esther, we see God positioning His people with purpose, strengthening them with bold faith in the face of opposition, and using their faithful influence to bring deliverance and lasting impact.
As women gather, we are reminded that God places His people in all places for His redemptive purposes, empowering them by His Spirit to advance His work and impact their world for His glory. Mark your calendar, and don’t miss this opportunity for fellowship, growth, and renewal!
