Before and after pictures of the meeting room. We wanted to create an intimate "wedding chamber atmosphere" so we set up the huppah as the focal point. At the end of the conference individuals were invited to come up under the huppah and make a vow to the YaHWeH, the bridegroom. The words spoken gave testimony to the impact the conference had on the lives of those who attended.
Preparing for the guest to arrive...the men fixed our meals and interceded during the teaching sessions. During the evening worship sessions they joined the women.
As they arrive each woman chose a mug at the registration table. During the first session they were paired up with a prayer partner and exchanged mugs as a reminder to pray for one another.
One of my jobs as we prepared for the conference was to purchase attractive mugs at the local thrift stores. I love it when my responsibilities include shopping for interesting things.
The worship was wonderful....keyboard, drums and violin and the sweet presence of the Ruach HaKodesh.
We were thrilled to have 5 baptisms and 1 rededication dunk on Saturday afternoon. In order to respect privacy I'm only including a photo of the feet of those freshly washed and shod in new flip-flops. The Hopi, when they do a traditional naming ceremony wash the hair of the person being given a new name. It's not hard to see how they brought a unique understanding to the significance of the baptism.
The Hopi were not the only ones change during the conference. Several of those who traveled to Hopi to minister found that they also received healing during the conference. On Sunday at church Beverly had a chance to share how she was now free to worship in the dance without the enemy whispering in her ear lies about what others might be thinking.We will again be heading to the Hopi land June 6, 7, & 8 to participate in their annual tent meetings. We are praying that those who came to the women's conference will also attend the meetings next weekend.
