GREETINGS
Precious Colleagues:
Women in Ministry from all across the country are
making plans to be in Atlanta, Georgia, September
15-18, 2014 for the 10th Anniversary of the
Women in Ministry (WIM) Conference.
The WIM Conference is a powerful,
inspiring, and informative week of
coaching, developing, and mentoring for professional women serving
in ministry. It fosters dialogue and
provides an opportunity for participants to gain valuable insight, relevant information, and cutting edge
resources.
Our conference serves women who impact,
inspire, and transform thousands of people through their ministry
influence. We have the privilege of nurturing healthy leadership to
support the work of Jesus Christ locally, regionally, nationally, and
around the world through the women in ministry who attend the conference.
Our theme for this 10 year anniversary is “Shifting the
Atmosphere: Defining and Redefining Success in Ministry.”
Mark your calendar now, reserve your seat, and join us for this premier gathering. In this setting you will be sure to find your soul
restored, your faith refreshed, and your energy renewed.
Please be mindful that the registration deadline is August 15, 2014
and that space is limited. If you have questions or need additional
information, you may contact us via phone at 770-696-5100, ext. 217

We look forward to seeing and serving you in September for what
promises to be an impacting and transforming experience.
