Comments from VCNP 2008 Women's Conference:

• Great Conference!
• A great reminder of who I am in Jesus and the weapons I have.
• I feel refreshed and energized.
• I feel spritually stronger-spiritually engaged!!
• I love Jesus even more.
• Pre-conference prayer experience was awesome -- awesome -- awesome --

God's abundant life is for you. Have you seen phrases similar to this? You may have thought something like, "That may be true, but I don't quite see that happening in my life." We can be robbed of the abundance God has for us in so many ways. Join us as we explore God's abundance and breaking free from a world of brokenness.

Prayer Experience

We will again have a pre-conference prayer experience: a self-guided journey through scriptures to increase intimacy with the Lord through sight, sound and touch. Come and stay a little while at the prayer experience or the whole time it's available.

Friday, February 6

Saturday, February 7

We would like to do an outreach as part of the Women's Conference by collecting the items below for Single Moms' Spa Day where over 200 single moms are blessed each spring. Thank you in advance for any item you can bring with you to the conference.

• New or used nail polish
• New pumis stones (we need a new one for each lady)
• Small gift card for blessing the mom (like $5 for gas, McDonalds, etc.)

Dianne Leman

For over 30 years Dianne Leman has partnered with her husband Happy in leading the Vineyard Church of Champaign-Urbana, IL. After receiving her Master's degree in Education from the University of Illinois, Dianne’s goal was to be a university professor. However, a radical encounter with the Holy Spirit turned her life upside down and she instead has raised five children while preaching, leading and teaching as part of the Vineyard pastoral team. Dianne’s passions include Jesus (of course!), reading lots of books, walking with Hap, eating chocolate, drinking Starbucks, watching a good romantic comedy…and being an indulgent grandma to three granddaughters and three grandsons! Now an official ‘empty nester,' she is looking to pour God’s love and wisdom into young leaders. She truly believes Jesus has given her an abundant life—to be freely shared with others.

October 2-4, 2008

Dear Vineyard Pastor:

I’d like to invite you, your spouse, and your congregation to participate in a conference we are hosting October 2-4 (Thursday night through Saturday night), entitled, Kingdom Ministry for Ordinary People. We are offing a complimentary registration to senior pastors and their spouses for the conference. When filling out the registration, just indicate somewhere on the form that you are a senior pastor.

The following excerpt from the brochure describes what the conference is about;

We are asking and expecting God to visit us in this conference with more of His presence and power.

Our speakers, Gary best and Charles Bello embrace not only a theology of God’s presence and power, but they are “practitioners” of the kingdom having devoted their lives to training and equipping people to participate in the ongoing ministry of Jesus to save, heal, and set the captives free.

Andy Park has led thousands of people in the presence of the Lord through his songwriting and worship leading. We invite you to join us for a very special time of renewal, empowerment and impartation as we are equipped to do the works of Jesus and to receive His healing touch for our lives.

If you would make the people in your church aware of the conference and encourage them to consider attending, it would be much appreciated.

I’ve enclosed some brochures for your use. If you need more, just let us know.

In His Love,

Jack Moraine
