Give Your Life Away

One of Susan’s and my passions is to see our generation of women use their gifts and talents and resources to change the world. It’s not an impossible dream. There are literally millions of us, some say the number is sixty million plus baby boomer women. What would happen if even a tenth of us became engaged in some cause that would benefit others? I’ve written before about orphans, but there are many other issues that need addressing that we women are uniquely qualified to meet. Mentoring young moms is a huge need in our nation that only requires the gift of your time and your listening ear. The major roadblock to this idea is that most women don’t feel qualified. WE know the mistakes we’ve made in our own parenting and marriage. How could we possibly help someone else?
One way to become qualified is to attend an exciting conference for women this fall. Susan and I will be speaking at The True Woman conference which will be held in Chicago October. 9-11. We understand that 3000 women are already registered, so why not join us? There is plenty of room for several thousand more.
The purpose of the conference is to discover and embrace God’s created design and mission for our lives, to learn to reflect the beauty and heart of Christ for our world, and to intentionally pass on the baton of God’s truth to the next generation. That’s the heart of mentoring another. You’ll learn that and much more. We hope you’ll join us and maybe bring a group of women with you. It’ll be an even better time if you come with friends.
