This year’s Womens’ Network Conference was joined by guest speaker Ptr. Lourdes Cruzat from JIL Church Sherwood Park. The theme was “Beautifully Broken,” along with the following verses from Psalm 34:18, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” and 1 Peter 5:10, “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
To begin, an exciting ice breaker game was led by Sis. Edna Mercado where each participant was tasked to determine the words Sis. Edna is saying through her screen while she is on mute. We thank our God for He was able to create the spirit of fellowship even though the conference was being held online. One of the main highlights of the conference were the video testimonies shared by Sis. Charmaine Gelacio-Vataga, Sis. Nelsie Cinena, and Sis. Jonnah Dela Cruz. These women faced struggles, confronted disappointments, fought through unimaginable uncertainties; but also found joy, resilience and strength by the grace and mercy of our Lord. The Word of the Lord was preached by Ptr. Lourdes Cruzat where she openly shared her experiences where she herself also encountered difficulties both in her personal life and in the ministry, but it was the Lord who ultimately lit her way and poured out blessings and favour in her life more than she can contain. Her testimony brought glory to the Name of our Lord, and served as an inspiration to those present in the conference. At times we may ask the question, how can there be beauty in the brokenness? It is not always easy to believe but we learned that even though our walk with Jesus cannot be defined as a life free of hardships, it is one where we have a Saviour, Healer and Friend who is never far from our reach. Let every victorious woman of faith declare that Jesus is Lord over their lives! Back to JIL Regina |
