Founders Thank You
Join us for a weekend of spiritual encounter, intellectual empowerment
and apostolic evangelization. This conference, rooted in our catholic
faith, will provide a weekend away from the demands of life and offer
spiritual encounter through prayer and testimonies, intellectual
empowerment via educational tracks and evangelization via meeting and
talking with the women of the diocese.
The goal of this weekend is to create an environment where women of
all ages can deepen their personal relationship with Christ.
Our goal is to help women who have a deep yearning desire to find
meaning in their lives, to find themselves in their faith, and in
their relationship with Christ. So many women have had a life altering
encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ at retreats and are running back
to Jerusalem with their hearts burning only to get lost in the
realities of life and are searching for and needing guidance and
direction. Genesis of Eve plans to accomplish these goals and fulfill
its mission and purpose through an annual conference as well as making
available various opportunities and resources for prayer (an
Encounter), intellect (Empower) and service (Evangelize) throughout
the rest of the year to keep the fire burning 365 days a year.
Early Bird Tickets sales extended until July 31, 2020!
