As women of welcome, we all know how doing hospitality can take a lot of time, effort, money – even courage! Have you ever wished for something that would help you get your hospitality gear-in-motion so that it becomes a joy rather than a painful experience? Believe me, I know just how you feel! I’ve felt totally inadequate for inviting people to my home. I wasn’t raised in a wealthy family but we did live in a wealthy neighborhood so it was easy to compare myself with others who had more money, more flair and seemingly, more confidence. We didn’t do cocktail parties...

The Ultimate Host called you and me before we were born. He said: “Come on in, you are welcome here. I made you to know Me. You can know me best at My table.” His call is personal. He loved us and He called us. You may have answered. But is that all? Not even close. Because God welcomed us, we must pass along that welcome to others. Why invite? Because the more we do, the more we are like God. We all have reasons why we don't invite, but understanding God's welcoming heart gives us the courage and motivation to get beyond those reasons. Come to My Table offers four simple...

Who is the Holy Spirit and what purpose does He fulfill in a person’s life? One of the passages of Scripture that our Heavenly Father gave me when He called me into ministry was Zechariah 4:6 which states, “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” It has become the foundation of how I live my life.

The material in this book was first taught in one of our annual...

Upon my entry in the world of faith, the discovery that women were considered second class citizens left me without words. However, over the course of now 30 years, God's word has confirmed just the opposite. God cannot be put in a box. Neither can His plan for His purposed women be put in a box despite centuries of attempts. For instance, the Samaritan woman was the 'first' evangelist about the arrival of the Messiah, Jesus. In Luke 24, a woman, or women, appointed by Jesus, were the 'first' messengers that Jesus was risen, as He had promised. Both situations included women...
A customizable 30-day prayer calendar for your next event! Last year my husband and I joined a team of other marriage ministry leaders to create our church's first ever retreat for marriage mentors. We called it Fill Up, Pour Out. One of the elements of our planning was incorporating prayer. We created a 30-day prayer calendar, modeled after one we found online. For the 30 days before our event, we had a team of people praying the same prayers daily. Some of us added fasting days once a week. God honored our dedication to making this His work. He showed up big time! The event...
