“God is using women, like never before, and is placing them strategically in leadership roles nationally, regionally, continentally and globally. It is imperative, therefore, that women be encouraged to operate as they were divinely created to be”- Pastor Delight Ogle–Uwagboe
The much anticipated annual ‘Women Stronger than Their Struggles’ conference hosted by
Freedom Life Ministries is fast approaching and the organizers are adamant that this year’s event will launch participants to the level required to live “sustained victorious lives”.
Now in its fourth year, the confab has a proven track record of delivering dynamic empowerment to women by providing the necessary tools to allow them to live successful lives and fulfill God’s purpose for them.
Under the theme, “Uncovering Your Hidden Treasures” the conference will be held from Wednesday March 29 to Saturday April 1 at the sanctuary located at 24 Princes and Lyng Streets, Charlestown, under the patronage of founder of the church, Prophet Joel Uwagboe.
The popular annual forum attracts thousands of women from all walks of life and all areas of Guyana and has been effective in bringing about permanent change in negative situations faced by women.
Guyana’s first lady, the Honourable Mrs. Sandra Granger is scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the event.
Coordinator and initiator of the conference, Pastor Delight Ogle–Uwagboe says the past three years were the precursor to set the stage for the “explosive, revolutionary event that will take place this year”. She explained that as the theme highlights, by the end of the conference, many
numerous hidden treasures that lie dormant in women will be uncovered.
“We are living in the days spoken of in Joel 2:27, where we are seeing the manifestation of God’s Spirit being poured out on all flesh.
“God is using women, like never before, and is placing them strategically in leadership positions nationally, regionally, continentally and globally. It is imperative, therefore, that women be encouraged to operate as the women they were divinely created to be and to operate within the divine order of operation that God has set out.”
As such, this year’s topics have been carefully selected to achieve the objective of the theme. These inspirational topics include “Unlocking your Potential for Greatness,’ ‘Managing Finances’, ‘Rediscovering the Proverbs 31 Woman’, ‘Stepping into your Destiny’, ‘Fulfilling God’s Purpose in Singleness’ and many more.
Pastor Uwagboe noted that sadly, many women are not conscious of their God-given potential and abilities, which causes them to experience defeat in many areas of their lives.
“They are precious to God and have many hidden treasures inside them that God wants to bring to the fore. Unfortunately along the way they might have been hurt, abused, misused, trampled upon etc., and are struggling with overcoming many issues they are facing on a daily basis.
Many have searched for solutions in a number of places but have only found temporary relief or
none at all. This annual conference has been effective because it has been giving them the practical tools needed to connect with God in a real way to get the real, permanent healing and deliverance they need to overcome these obstacles and live sustained victorious lives.”
“Indeed women are stronger than their struggles, because God has enshrined in them the ability and power to be overcomers, but they have to know what the keys are and use them to move from a place of defeat and despair to enjoying a life of freedom, peace and abundance as God ordained it….that’s what this conference is all about”.
She explained that the conference was birthed out of the need that exists in society for “real discussions in the church-setting about issues affecting women.
“The truth is that women as a gender have issues that are unique to us, that cannot necessarily be addressed from the pulpit …this annual conference provides the ideal opportunity for women to sit and honestly and openly discuss these problems and find solutions together through God’s help.”
Pastor Uwagboe is adamant that no woman who wants an improvement in some aspect of their life should miss this event.
“God has a wonderful plan and purpose for each woman that He wants to see fulfilled. The conference this year is structured in such a way that allows open interaction, as there are sessions
where participants can ask questions of the panelists and get answers.
“The format of the sessions will comprise ‘general ministry’ where participants will receive prophetic impartation, healing and deliverance as well as plenary sessions which will see the esteemed panel of facilitators fielding questions from participants.
And this year we have pulled out all the stops in sourcing facilitators who are not only sound and proficient in the word of God, but who have themselves been the victims of harrowing experiences in life, but who through the power of God’s grace have emerged victorious and are living abundant lives fulfilling their God-given destinies.”
“These women will not only be speaking from the perspective of pastors, but as women who has been through terrible struggles themselves and have permanently overcome them. They can identify with the issues women face: they have truly learnt the art of being stronger than their struggles and want to share this with others,” Pastor Uwagboe noted.
The impressive line-up of facilitators comprises Dr. Darlene Day of the USA, Pastor Victoria Phillips of Canada and Pastors Pamela O’Donoghue, Delight Ogle-Uwagboe and Lorraine Johnson of Guyana.
