We have been giving some additional information about workshops that will be offered at this year’s conference. Today we will add a little teaser on two more.

Marion Graham is called by God to pray and to teach others to pray. Come and learn and be inspired to talk to God.

Marion Graham is convinced that God delights in answering the prayers of His people. In fact, she believes that God is glorified when He answers prayers. She believes that God often begins when we are children to lay dreams on our hearts that are attached to His plans for our lives. So often we allow circumstances to cause us to put down our dreams, but God wants to stir some of those dreams up and bring them into the realm of faith.

What did you dream about doing when you were a child? Do you ever dream of doing something mighty today? The Bible is full of stories of fulfilled dreams, stories of men and women who dared to believe that God could do the impossible in their lives. “God is not only the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” Marion recently said, “but also the God of Hannah and Ruth and Esther and Sarah.” He has a plan for all of our lives, not just the “bigwigs” but also the “ordinary” people who have learned that they serve an extraordinary God!

Susan has been through a tough year since last year’s conference. There wasn’t a great tragedy or traumatic event— in some ways that would have been easier! — but the Holy Spirit has led her on a journey of rediscovering herself and her calling, a year getting to know God at new levels as she followed Him through a spiritual whirlwind of confusion and doubt from which she has now emerged stronger and more full of faith than ever before.

Out of her struggle, Susan will share with us “God in the Whirlwind: Why Suffering?” Isaiah 61 is her jumping off place as she shares on the faithfulness of our God who insists on giving us “beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning that He might be glorified.”
