State Evangelism Conference
Sharing Christ begins with God’s story and your own story of life change. Teaching Christ personally involves intentional discipleship. It involves hearing what women are saying and pointing them to the truth of God’s word. It involves engaging in purposeful conversations that turn to God conversations. Attend the 2012 State Evangelism Conference where you’ll be inspired by general sessions and special opportunities geared just for women.
The “Women’s Emphasis” of the State Evangelism conference is incorporated into the two days of the conference.
