Gifted and Called is a weekend seminar for all women of your church community who want to deepen their understanding of God's call on their lives.

In a culture that demands that women "be all things at all times" there is a disconnect that often happens between purpose and passion. God designed us to live out our faith with joy and with a clear sense of His calling on our lives.

In the mundane happenings of life we lose sight of God's amazing plan for each of us. Gifted and Called is an interactive workshop that encourages women to re-examine and re-focus on what is truly at the heart of being gifted and called by God:

Relationship with Him.

At the core of God's plan, is His desire to have a vibrant and intimate relationship that leads us into the ministry that God has custom-made for each of us. In a culture that demands our best performance at every juncture, a vibrant and healthy relationship with our Creator often takes a backseat and when this happens His calling on our life gets put at the bottom of our "to do" list.

God has called each of us.
He has an incredible plan for every woman.
He is at work around us and He invites us to join Him for the adventure of our lives.

The purpose of Gifted and Called is simply to affirm each woman in the turth that God has called her and that He will equip her to accomplish His plan for her life.

Our Gifted and Called Team is eager to share this interactive weekend seminar with the women of your church.

Highlights from recent Gifted and Called events:

"This is the beginning - the awakening!"

"Lots of exercises and different ways to learn kept it fun and good."

". . .discovering my gifts and overcoming my fears; building my confidence to use and develop my gifts."

"as the day approached to attend, I became anxious as I have difficulty walking into something new. I even considered backing out but decided to keep to my commitment and go with an open heart for whatever God chose to reveal to me. . . .The most powerful moment for me was claiming my gift. Truly an emotional and personal moment with God!"

"This began as an exploration for and ended as a commitment to be open to God's leading. I wanted to dabble with ideas and instead, found I had to jump in!"

"safe", "liberating", "validating", "well worth being there", "extremely valuable!", "the sharing, the personalities of the facilitors and their own personal stories", and "God was here!"

"God has definitely gifted and called the facilitators!"

"The weekend was well-presented with the right touches. It was a Spirit-led and directed weekend."
