Restoring the value of women . . .

Women in every culture can find themselves devalued, demoralized - and even victims of abuse and violence. In Canada, Parliament has established a National Day of Remembrance and Action, to reflect on the phenomenon of violence against women in our society.

Former UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali stated: "Without progress in the situation of women, there can be no true social development."

On a more personal note, every woman can find herself worn down by the daily mental and physical assaults which are designed to attack her self-image as a woman created by God.

Our Saviour came to restore intimacy with God, and to allow us to truly find our value in him. We have designed Elevated to Excellence Women's Conferences to speak to the value of every woman. Our teachers, who are drawn from both the U.S. and Canada, are dynamic women who know the importance of finding their value through a relationship with God and his word.

The word 'excellence' means: "to be of great worth or quality, something of incredible value." Jesus paid a costly price for us to have that relationship with God, and we believe each person is valuable in God's sight.

It is God's love which transforms us into the excellent women God created us to be. He has sought us out, to reveal his love for us. This is the true Cinderella story: Jesus is our Prince - who loves us and elevates us to our identity in Christ. Psalm 18:35-36 affirms this, when it says: "You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great. You broaden the path beneath me."

At E2E Conferences, we have had some amazing testimonies of healing and restoration.

One lady wrote to us, saying: "I was at the end of myself; I didn't know if I could go on any longer. This weekend, I found hope - and a new purpose for my life!" Another woman said of the weekend: "This was completely transforming! I have never seen or heard women speak with such authority, power and anointing. It gives me such hope, in knowing [Christ] has revealed himself to me and restored my brokenness."

We invite you to come and join with us, for a life-changing weekend at our next Elevated to Excellence Conference: March 2 - 3 at Chandos Pattison Auditorium, Surrey, British Columbia.
