Over 100 pastors’ wives and women in ministry were challenged and encouraged at our third annual women’s camp. Our guest speakers, Pearl Kupe, Jana Lackey, and Linda Madeksho, ministered straight from the heart of God, challenging the women to rise up as spiritual mothers who will care for those in need in their communities.

“I have been transformed! I am a new person! I am determined to go out there and mother the street kids and orphans in my community.”

The expectation in the women’s hearts was evident on their faces as they worshiped God, listened intently, and responded to altar calls. God moved mightily in their lives and sparked a chain reaction that will continue to bring transformation in their communities.

That statement was made by one of the women who was at our luncheon two weeks ago. Hundreds of women, from 48 different churches, felt the love of God in action at the women’s luncheon.

Pearl Kupe-Kalonda, our guest speaker, shared an incredible message on restoration, a word that resonated deep within the hearts of the women. When the altar was opened for prayer and ministry, women ran forward. During this ministry time, some women received physical healing in their bodies; others received the touch from the Lord they had been praying for. Many received an infusion of faith to trust the Lord for restoration in their lives.

The day ended with fellowship over a wonderful meal. Many women met other Christian ladies that live near them and spent time building relationships with each other.

When we explained to the women that the event was paid for by people around the world who love them, they let out a cheer of thanks and praise to God. They were blessed and grateful to discover that people believe in them that much. Thank you for your prayers and financial gifts that made it possible to touch so many women through this luncheon.

“The message was powerful and the food was delicious. Everything was so well organized. Keep on having meetings like this - they help us grow spiritually!”

“I want to thank the person who invited me here. Now I know who I am in Jesus! I will remember this day for the rest of my life.”

“I thank God for my brothers and sisters at Thrive Africa. God bless you and all the supporters. May God give you long years to serve our Lord Jesus.”
