2008 Conference Overview, Objectives, Attendees 
Overview
Priscilla’s Purse Ministries’ Women in Five-Fold Ministry (WFFM) Conference is the annual capstone event for all women laborers in God’s Vineyard. It is the combined teaching/preaching follow-up of eight months—February to September—of 2nd Saturday Priscilla’s Purse Ministries’ Forums that are convened at Burton Baptist Church in
Grand Rapids, MI.
This conference is designed to focus on all Women in Ministry. Women of God are assisted in recognizing or fulfilling their Divine Calling through spiritual inspiration, revelation and training. Through this biblically-based, educational venue, women are offered the opportunity for spiritual growth and development, irrespective of their leadership role—from being ordained and/or licensed to being a lay minister/leader.
Priscilla’s Purse Ministries’ Mission: Women in Five-fold Ministry Helping Women Ministers through Edification [build/establish/enlighten], Education [formally train, instruct and develop], and Exhortation [incite and encourage]; and as Part of God’s Building, Abiding in the Same Calling Wherein We Were Called with Men in Five-fold Ministry…until We All Come in the Unity of the Faith and of the Knowledge of the Son of God. A 501(c)(3) organization.
Participants attending will be able to:
- Define the essence of what constitutes a Calling from God and clarify their specific Purpose.
- Define what their primary assigned role is as a member of the Kingdom of God based on their gifts, both apparent and untapped.
- What gifts (natural talents, skills, capabilities) do they currently possess that undergird their personal Kingdom-Building potential?
- Describe the biblical development process of being equipped as a Kingdom Builder.
- What is the difference between being anointed, appointed and sent?
- Can only two of the three suffice?
- Compile a list of women of the Bible who serve as timeless models for lining up to effectively perform their divine assignments.
- What can be spiritually gleaned from their lives and the examples they set?
- Outline the steps used by the profiled women for application to their own Five-fold or Lay Kingdom-Building ministry work that is designed to spiritually impact and change the lives of others.
- Develop a list of checkpoints for spiritually aligning their thoughts (mind/heart) and actions (deeds/behavior) with prescribed Kingdom principles ensuring their success.
- Move forward to becoming all that God has called them to be through development of their spiritual identities and roles as Kingdom-Building Women in Ministry.
