I really enjoyed the intellectual exchange. I was challenged in my thinking and enjoyed seeing and experiencing the passion of both the presenters and the participants. I was challenged personally to better participate in my sphere of influence, to read more, engage more, maybe write more, think more; BE MORE! The week inspired me!

It was invaluable to be able to talk about touchy issues in an atmosphere openness and acceptance as we explore and grow, so that we can navigate our own challenges more effectively in our own mission agency. I know of no other place where it is possible to state opinions, disagree, and yet keep talking calmly and honestly together – what wonderful modeling and an incredible gift. Thanks to every participant!

The Women’s Development Track week was special in many ways, but the most important aspect for me was the opportunity to be in close community with like-minded women since I sometimes feel alone in my passion for ministry. It was so refreshing and encouraging to share the week with women on mission for the Kingdom, to know that God is moving in and through women EVERYWHERE! I highly recommend the experience not just for the education and training, but for the unexpected value of ministry community
