His betrayer had just left, in a few hours he would be arrested and wrongly condemned to death. In this moment Jesus chooses to turn to his disciples to help them endure what was coming next.
“Take heart,” he says “I have overcome the world.”
Like the disciples, we need to hear this truth and be equipped to endure. In suffering, take heart. In loneliness, take heart. In sorrow, in weakness, in difficulty, in unmet expectations, take heart, Jesus has overcome the world. Join us at Women’s Conference as we sit alongside the disciples to hear Jesus' message of hope in John 14-16.

SHOWCASE
On Saturday night, we’ll have a "Women's Conference Showcase". This will give you the opportunity to showcase how the Lord has gifted you to glorify Him. Maybe you have something serious you want to share, or a fun way to display a talent or passion you have. This could be something musical, a dance, artwork, a written piece or another creative presentation. Don't be shy! We'd love to have a great variety of giftings to display!
To plan this and make it a truly excellent event, we ask that you submit a short Google form to help us discern what pieces to display during our 75 minute Showcase. You'll also need to upload a short video* of your presentation piece so we can fully understand what you hope to present. Submissions are due by Friday, March 25th. We'll let you know by Monday, March 28th if your piece will be displayed or not.
If you have any questions, you talk to your campus staff worker or email the Showcase Coordinators at info@dm.org.
*P.S. You'll need to sign in with a Google account to upload your video! If you don't have one, ask a friend or your staff worker!
