2014 SOARING FOR THE KINGDOM LEADING WITH
PURPOSE CONFERENCE INFORMATION
We are pleased to invite you to the 4th Annual 2014 Soaring for
the Kingdom Leading With Purpose Conference. The SOAR
conference isn’t just for adults. You can bring your Teen daughters
(12-17), because they will have classes designed just for them as
well as movie night, spa time, and so much more. Join us for three
days of amazing praise and worship, life changing messages, phenomenal speakers, workshops, and great vendor exhibitions. The
conference begins on Thursday evening and continues through Saturday afternoon. We have gathered
some of the most anointed and powerful women speakers and workshop leaders to share important lessons they’ve learned from
their phenomenal experiences. These women are definitely trailblazers. Moreover every one of them has been in your shoes. They’ve
faced impossible challenges, dealt with difficult people, had their bright ideas turned down, faced adversity in every shape and size.
They’ve overcome seemingly impossible odds to prove themselves in ministry and or business arenas. These fascinating women will
inspire you, motivate you, and move you to laughter and even tears as they share incredible insights from the word of God. You’ll
leave armed with new strategies that will make you a stronger leader, entrepreneur, minister, communicator, a more confident Christian, and an all-around more productive woman. You will return to your church, ministry, or business refreshed and rejuvenated. Your
head will be brimming with new ideas that you can’t wait to put into action! You will also have an opportunity to meet and network with
other female clergy, business owners/entrepreneurs, authors, executives, consultants/coaches, and ministry leaders — contacts that
will be valuable to you long after the conference has ended. You don’t want to miss the excitement that this conference has in store
for you! Register today! Visit our website at www.womenofvalorministry.org today to reserve your spot.

The Prayer Life of a Leader - Dorothy Dorsey/
Barbara Johnson
□ 04
Prayer should be intentional and a priority for every
servant leader. It is life’s greatest time-saver and is
essential to a leader’s personal life, leadership, teaching,
and relationships. If we don’t spend time on our knees
before the Lord, we will find our ministries/businesses will
fail to have a lasting impact for the kingdom of God.
Do you sense that God has called you to ministry but
feel as though nothing is happening? Do you under
stand the concept of waiting? Do you believe waiting is
just sitting idle on a shelf? As a Lady in Waiting, After
this class your perspective on what it means to wait will
change.

INTERCESSORY WARFARE PRAYER - Dr. Shirley
Walls
Session II - 10:45 AM - 11:45 AM
□ 08
Intercession is not a matter of saying the right words but
of having the right heart. It can mean the difference
between life/death, or war/peace. Because intercession
often entails heavy-duty spiritual warfare, Intercessors
will sometimes feel like quitting. In this session you will
learn how to understand the roles and responsibilities of
an intercessor; how to stand in the gap; break spiritual
strongholds; and combat demonic principalities.
Session III - 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
SHIFTING the ATMOSPHERE- Pastor Karen Jackson □ 12
Prayer Changes the Atmosphere. When we operate in
our kingdom assignments, we can change the atmosphere around us, from darkness to light, and from anxiety
to peace. An Atmospheric Changer believes in taking
Prayer to the level where changes take place within
atmospheres over their lives, families, homes, churches,
businesses, governments, and nations. In this session
you will learn how to change the atmosphere in your
home, ministry/business.
INTERCESSORY PRAYER FORUM SESSION
This Intercessory prayer forum is designed to give
attendees an opportunity to dialogue, share ideas,
expertise, knowledge, and network with and learn from
other conference participants. This is an interactive
forum and is not a workshop. You will walk away with
new ideas as well as gain a Network of like-minded
women to whom you can call on for assistance. So bring
plenty of business cards.
FROZEN - Apostle Sanja Stinson/Pastor
Kimberly Simmons
Fear paralyzes! Have you been afraid to acknowledge
or walk in your call because of fear. Even though you
have repeatedly read the scripture that says, God has
not given us the spirit of fear but of power love and a
sound mind, but you are still afraid. In this session
you will learn how to overcome the spirit of fear so that
you can fulfill your call.
Session IV - 3:15 PM - 4:30 PM
□ 15
SING YOUR OWN SONG - Clementine Delane/Pastor
Monica Horton-Harris
Every woman called into the ministry has a unique song
to sing (message to proclaim) from God. That song is
who you are, your gifting's/position and your purpose in
life. Sometimes we are tempted to sing the song of our
ministry sisters because we believe their song sounds
better than ours. In this session you will discover your
song and all the pitches and notes that are unique to
you.
