For the past seven years, Grace Smith has led women’s retreats for women overcoming some of life’s hardest circumstances. Over the years she witnessed women of all ages and all walks of life, with varied backgrounds and history, break the barriers of tradition, and shatter the walls of ethnic, cultural and denominational divides. They connected through sharing their stories in a judgement free zone, with couragous vulnerability. Women who had arrived with their shoulders slumped in shame and brokenness, found HOPE over the 42 hour event, and left with their eyes sparkling and their heads held high.

Two years ago, God gave Grace a dream of a brightly-colored blanket – hand woven together with so much color and diversity that represented people from all around the globe. The bright colors in the blanket signified life and hope, and the red color so intricately woven into the design, represented the pain of past experiences. The blanket was being placed on the shoulders of people that were weighed down by their grief and scars. Some of the scars were visible- like tattoos telling their stories, others were hidden in their hearts. As the blanket rested on their shoulders, the warmth would awaken them with hope, healing and the spirit of a warrior. Those transformed began turning around and reaching out to the next person, to share God’s light and hope –  as one beautiful, vibrant sisterhood of warriors who were changing the world. 

Grace made this dream her prayer and now is launching her first conference to connect women around the world who are willing to say, “YES” to unleashing their warrior spirit and becoming a light in the darkness. Join the movement!

You will have the opportunity to invest in a special project to help teen girls and women in Uganda Africa. Our conference goal is to provide sponsorships, and invest in the dreams of a group of girls who live in one of the poorest nations in the world and desperatly need a chance. We are partnering with Wells of Hope, and are excited to have a table at our conference with handcrafted items made by women in a re-entry program from prison. We will hear first hand testimonies from a Wells of Hope Team member Joan, about how Wells of Hope is equipping and empowering girls. Plan to be part of this exciting project and make an investment. You can make a difference globally.
