We are in the throes of conference planning for this September. We have a wonderful team helping us this year. Heaven and Mutsa (pictured above with Katy) are the newest members to our Unshamed volunteer team. They’re a massive help!
This will be our third annual Unshamed Conference. On September 25-27 over 100 women will gather in Portlaoise at the Midlands Park Hotel to be pampered, encouraged, and reminded that they are not alone in the struggles they face. Each year we have testimonies of women finding hope to face the future, freedom from shame holding them back, and experiencing the love of Jesus…many for the first time.
I’m excited to announce that as of today, we are almost completely sold out! You may remember last year that we invited people sponsor women to attend the conference. We will be doing that again very soon! Zoe Community subsidizes a large portion of the conference costs to keep the price low and the event accessible to anyone who wishes to attend. To that end, we will be looking to have all 100 women sponsored to attend at $150/person. Some will be able to pay their registration, many will not. Having this many women sponsored will allow us to give scholarships to anyone who needs, as well as cover the actual cost of the conference. These expenses include all the venue/equipment rentals, speaker costs, and the many special touches that remind the ladies that they are loved.
Stay tuned for those sponsorship opportunities! Until then please be praying for the planning process to the Holy Spirit led and 100% financially covered. Thank you for all you do!
