Can you offer ideas on housing possibilities?
Yes, we can do so at TWO levels as follows:
1. When you register, please alert us that you HAVE or NEED housing; you can also share with us, if you’ll need housing, if you’d like us to try to connect you with other ladies seeking housing.
2. Some of the sites people use to locate housing include the following: Edisto Realty, Carolina Vacation Rentals, VRBO, Carolina Beach Realty, and AirBNB.

The Original Influencers: A Biblical Template for Women today
We are hearing much about INFLUENCERS on social media today. But maybe you haven’t thought about some of the original influencers in the Bible, many of whom were women!
God’s story of Redemption includes stories of how He often used women in ways they never could have imagined. I am convinced that He is doing the same today. Could it be that He has purposely placed us here for “Such a Time as This?” Could it be that God intends to use you as an influencer to help to turn families and our nation back to God?
We’ll look at the Biblical template in the story of Esther and others as we discover some of the basic questions we must ask if we are going to be Influencers for God and His kingdom in our homes, churches, communities and the world… wherever He plants us. We will discover a 5-letter word that is the secret for becoming what God intends. Real life application and resources will be provided for you. Look forward to a time of worship with fellowship, food, music, prayer and Bible study. We expect God to meet with us for a great weekend together!
