| Zechariah 4:6 – Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit says the Lord of Hosts - Monday, June 29, 2009Beloved Friends,
My heart rejoices over how God, by His Spirit (Zech. 4:6) is drawing young women, ages 16-25, to the Young Women IN Worship conference this July 27-28!
Many of you have indicated that you would like to be a part but were not sure if you could make the financial commitment. I have GOOD NEWS for you. The ministry has been gifted with scholarships for each girl who needs one! That’s right, if you need a scholarship for Young Women IN Worship, we need to hear from you this week! God answers prayer!
You will need to cover the non-refundable registration fee of $75, and the ministry will cover the remainder. We need your registration fee in our office no later than July 15, 2009 so that we process your application and are ready for you on the afternoon of the 26th when you arrive. Here is the link to the registration form.
Once we have received your registration, we will send to you a package of information with lots more details about the conference. You will need to read through the package thoroughly so that you are properly prepared for the event. Example - The package will include a test on spiritual gifts, and you will want to have this completed BEFORE coming to Young Women IN Worship. As a matter of fact, you won’t need to bring much at all, so make sure we get you registered in time so that you know what to bring and what not to bring.
If you have any questions at all, please call my office, and my Young Women IN Worship staff and volunteers will be honored to help!
Thanks for responding to the invitation to join us at Young Women IN Worship. I am looking forward to meeting you there.
Guys – It’s your turn to pray for the girls. We’ll get Young Men In Worship up and running as the Lord directs! Make sure that the Young Women in your life are IN WORSHIP! Thanks for your prayers and support!
Forever IN WORSHIP!

| Looking Ahead - Monday, May 18, 2009Young Women IN Worship
July 26 – 28, 2009
You are on my heart and in my mind today. I pray that all is well with you and that you are sensing the grace of God’s presence in your life. This morning I read in the book of Ruth, Boaz says to his workers, “May the Lord be with you!” And they respond back, “May the Lord be with you!” And that is my prayer for you: In all that you do and all that you are, may the Lord, the Absolute Ruler of all things, be with you!
Recently I was asked what I thought was the greatest need in all the world. After pondering over it for some time, I would have to say that I believe the greatest need in the world today is the need to know the One True and Living God, Jehovah. Hosea 4:6 tells us that God’s people are perishing because of a lack of knowledge. One translation says that we, the people of God, are casting off restraints because of a lack of knowledge.
If the people of God are responding in life like this, what can we expect from those who do not know Christ? If we are reacting to circumstances and not responding to truth, what kind of example are we setting for others? Daniel 11:32b says that the people who know their God will be strong and do exploits. We will be strong and take action. We will not sit passively and watch the world around us be destroyed; but we will believe the word of God, live by faith, and MAKE DISCIPLES.
God says that He has sent his word to heal us and to deliver us. (Ps. 107:20) This is our passion!
I have been around hundreds if not thousands of people who have problem after problem, ailment after ailment, and seem to not be able to grab hold of the hope that is available in Jesus Christ. We want to help.
Richard and I are grateful to be living in Mobile again, and provide the ministries of IN Worship, where we are committed to uniting people in worship! Our weekly Bible study on Tuesdays at 9am – 11am and 6pm to10pm, Brookside Community Center is going very well. We are finishing an incredible study on the book of Acts, and will begin the Summer Bible Study very soon. If your summer schedule frees you up a bit to be a part of a study where you just come and let us do the work, then come on and join us on Tuesdays.
We’re really excited about the fabulous new YOUNG WOMEN IN WORSHIP INTENSIVE! YWIW is designed to do two things: to enhance the college experience of young women who are preparing for ministry, and to equip for ministry, the young woman who does not have college in her agenda, but would like the CORE of structured learning and training for ministry. The Intensive is structured somewhat like a college degree where each young woman can choose the track of study that she would like to be instructed in. Details are on the events tab of our website. You can also download a printable brochure by clicking HERE.
Would you consider helping us reach out to these young women who desire deep, intense, equipping to serve the Lord Jesus Christ? We are happy to send you several YOUNG WOMEN IN WORSHIP brochures, so that you can share them with the departments and Sunday school classes of young women in your church, just email us your contact information to info@inworship.org.

Young women ages 18-25 will choose her track of study, and will enjoy 3 session on her selected track, and one elective if she chooses to do so.
Looking ahead, on January 22-23, 2010, WOMEN IN WORSHIP is back in Mobile! WIW is an annual Bible teaching worship event, designed to catapult women into another year of Bible study, and true worship! My guests this year are Kay Arthur and Gloria Gaither. There will be a Friday morning breakfast with Kay Arthur, and Friday afternoon High Tea with Gloria Gaither. Then beginning Friday night, along with Kay, Gloria, and the YOUNG WOMEN IN WORSHIP PRAISE TEAM, it is my pleasure to once again present, WOMEN IN WORSHIP.
Reservations are being made now for YOUNG WOMEN IN WORSHIP SUMMER INTENSIVE and WOMEN IN WORSHIP – Jan. 2010! Call our office to secure you tickets today. 251-300-8400.
Thanks for letting me “catch up” with you a little. I’d love to hear from you. Contact me through our website, www.womeninworship.org or just give me a call at 251-300-8400.
Thanks also for sharing the YOUNG WOMEN IN WORSHIP INTENSIVE opportunity with the young women in worship in your world.

| YOUNG Women In Worship-Registration is now open! - Monday, May 04, 2009Beloved Friends, We are excited about hosting our first annual YOUNG Women IN Worship, Intensive July 26-28, 2009. Young Women In Worship Summer Intensive is designed to encourage, equip, empower, and engage in ministry, YOUNG WOMEN, ages 18 to 25, who are preparing for full or part-time ministry. These three days of intensive Bible study and equipping workshops will enable YOUNG WOMEN to move into ministry with confidence and commanding skills as they serve to Unite People IN Worship! To download a printable version of the brochure and registration form, click here:  Areas of Study • INDUCTIVE BIBLE STUDIES is a two-session track in which each young woman will participate. Inductive Bible study skills will be taught as the girls take a look at what the Bible says about Spiritual Gifts! • PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY OF MINISTRY offers foundations of ministry and important aspects of being a leader in ministry. Areas covered will include leadership, personal character and integrity. The first session includes the Myers-Briggs Personality Inventory to help women understand who God created them to be and to better understand those with whom they will be ministering and working. Sessions two through four will incorporate leadership principles, style and diversity as a leader. • ARTIST DEVELOPMENT is designed to equip young women in the areas of songwriting, publishing and platform performance. Session one is a biblical overview of the heart of the artist. Session two focuses on songwriting and publishing. Sessions three and four are exciting sessions on platform performance. • MISSIONS AND EVANGELISM is a most exciting track that will give a powerful biblical overview of reaching today’s world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. YOUNG WOMEN will know exactly what the gospel is and why it is such good news! They will also study the messages and methods of Jesus and the Apostle Paul. YOUNG WOMEN will see very clearly that missions and evangelism is more than a journey to a foreign country, but missions and evangelism is a way of life! Email us at info@womeninworship.org for an electronic copy of the brochure in .jpg or .pdf. If you prefer, we will be happy to drop the full brochure and registration form in the mail to you. Be sure to share this exciting information with young ladies in your sphere of influence. Space is limited so call today. See you in July. Alicia W. Garcia Women IN Worship |
| Women IN Worship ‘09 is HIS-STORY!!! - Monday, March 09, 2009And what a “story” of “His” we all can tell. God is FAITHFUL! He answered our prayers in more ways than we could ever say! A big THANK YOU to all of you who were with us physically, and to all who prayed for us from afar! The glory of the Lord was revealed, and that is our focus and purpose. Now I pray that you and I would be true “disciples”, learners of Jesus Christ for the rest of our lives. If you did not have a chance to get signed up for a Bible study, call our office and let us help you find one near you. 251-300-8400. A true disciple is also a disciple-maker!
One quick story. A lady who was at the conference, who was not feeling well at all, who could hardly move, much less stand for any length of time, said that, when a friend asked her to come close and just see the Ark of the Covenant revealed, she said that there was strength in her body to stand for hours. She said, “I have never felt the GLORY of God like I did in that moment.”
We say, “to God be the glory!”.
Now before you get bent out of shape, let me quickly say that we worship JESUS and not a replica. It was her faith in Jesus ALONE that caused her to experience the one true living God. AMEN!
I rejoice in that you allowed the Holy Spirit to draw you to Jesus and faith in Him, that you might RESPOND TO TRUTH AND NOT REACT TO CIRCUMSTANCES – FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!
Share your story online with us, or E-mail us your GOD STORY from the WIW conference and be a witness with us, to the ends of the earth, how God touched your life this weekend.
WIW – Homecoming! January 22-23, 2010. Call THIS WEEK ONLY with your ‘09 ticket as a coupon for Advantage Pricing. Beginning Saturday March 14, 2009 – September 30, 2009, Early Bird Pricing. October 1, 2009 and on, General Admission. DON’T WAIT!!!! Call today and get ready now for 2010.
