God delights in you, and your greatest delight is found in Him.
As this season of Charis Women’s DELIGHTED Conferences concludes, there is much to celebrate and be thankful for. More than 750 women were gathered across these six events where intentional space was created for connection, encouragement, and practical, faith-filled teaching for everyday life.
Friday night Executive Director Jenn Avey taught from Isaiah 62. Women were encouraged to determine their faith and future by the promises of God in Christ and NOT by their current circumstances. We challenged the external voices and internal doubts that lead us away from walking in the delight of the Lord. God calls us His delight and each woman was reminded that she is the object of God’s desire. The Father doesn’t just love us in Christ, He likes us and our greatest delight is found in Him!
Saturday morning select speakers took to the stage to share their testimonies, many for the first time, developing confidence and strengthening their speaking. Many attendees found this the most moving and impactful part of the weekend. Women from every phase, stage, and age shared how God was their delight in even the most discouraging of circumstances.
Dozens of women volunteered their time to lead workshops — from doctors to artists — bringing both professional insight and personal experience. We found delight through practical options on abiding, spiritual gifts, grief, parenting, sharing the Gospel, creative expression, prayer, Bible study, and more.
Saturday afternoon closed with dynamic worship and an examination of the life of King Hezekiah. Jenn taught from 2 Chronicles 32 and Isaiah 37, equipping us on how to handle threats to our delight. Even in the hard and seemingly impossible, we serve the God of MORE! We can’t wait to see what God will do in the lives of all who participated.
Charis Women is exceedingly grateful for every woman who attended, served, and led. We are blown away by the hospitality of our DELIGHTED host churches and are looking ahead with expectation as the work continues. Our new conference theme and tour locations will launch this summer.
