This year's keynote speaker is Sister Miriam James Heidland,

traveled throughout the world inviting others to deepen their
relationship with God. Once a successful college athlete attracted to a
partying lifestyle, Sister Miriam James says she wasn't truly happy
until she found God. She shared her story in the 2014 book, Loved as I Am, An Invitation to Conversion, Healing, and Freedom through Jesus.Featured Presentation
The
conference will also feature a talk by Colleen Stratton, a
victim-survivor of human trafficking and a member of the outreach team

provides aftercare resources for trafficking victims, prevention for
at-risk youth, and training for professionals and community members.Music Ministry

music and ministry, featuring Kara Klein, Maria Spears, and Christine
Simpson. "His Own" was formed by the three friends who wanted to combine
their love for Jesus, passion for music, and desire to proclaim the joy
of the feminine heart. Through their music and ministry, they hope to
inspire women to come before the Lord as they are, to encounter his
unique love for them, and to be reminded of the eternal measure of their
feminine dignity and worth.Cost
