Every since the moment I became pregnant with my girls - I have prayed over them constantly "Lord - give them a passion for you! Let them be used by you to do mighty things".
But what about me? What about my generation? Are we doing mighty things for God with a passion for Him?
I have sat back and watched and been amazed at the Passion movement among college students. I am so refreshed to see these young kids so on fire for God and for making a difference for Him in the world.
But what about us? What about our generation?
I have such a passion for women and women's ministry. And I have felt a stirring in my heart for a while now that I want to be used for God. I wonder what I can do? I'm just a mom. I am limited in my talents and resources. And yet this life is so short and my true purpose here on this earth is to know God and to make Him known. It's to share the gospel in every way I can.
If I want my girls and their children to have a passion for God and to make a difference in their world - shouldn't they learn that from what they see in me?
There are a group of AMAZING women - women you may know and recognize who have been praying and dreaming and feeling this stirring for years now. They know people are hungry to know more about Jesus and they are praying about how to equip this generation and live lives that matter for eternal things.
Some of these women ......Jennie Allen, Jen Hatmaker, Angie Smith, Ann Voskamp, Lauren Chandler, Christine Caine, Lindsey Nobles, Kelly Minter, Shelly Giglio {and many others}...........have had a dream of a conference that will be a two day conference all about equipping our generation (out of college but maybe not "prime timers"......the age thing is not the big deal) to spread the gospel and to change the world. I'm so excited about this I can't stand it! It's everything I have prayed about! They have a group of around 100 women (including me!) behind all of this - planning and praying that God would move and help us to ignite a fire that would change the world for Him.
