CONFERENCE 2009

and photo album!

“Thank you so much for all you did in organizing the Set Apart Girl conference. I was filled to overflowing with an ever increasing love and desire to serve and glorify my Father in everything.  During and after the conference we had precious times of prayer, encouragement, searching the scriptures together, and just fellowshipping. I never knew how much you could get to know a group of girls by spending 40 hrs together in a car and a whole week together as a group.”

“God did so many amazing things during this weekend conference. Leslie's messages just continued to reinforce everything that God had been doing in my heart. God also used some unexpected people to speak into my life. I met Eric's sister, Krissy who has the type of joy in the LORD that my heart has craved for. I pray that the love of God within me radiates in that way (no matter what circumstance I am in).

    

I also got to talk with Annie. She shared some stories about her experiences in Haiti and some of the different times that God protected her. Her testimony of God's hand in her life has only gone to further my trust and faith in God. I have committed for some time now to give my life up to help those in need and spread the gospel. I'm still not completely sure what this looks like, but I know God is faithful to guide me. My job is to say, "Do with me what You will!"


Though sacrifices must be made, God never ceases to satisfy. I have truly come to realize that there is no greater joy than the fullness of Joy in God's presence. Things of this world are futile, and the only life worth living is one that is glorifying to Him. I pray that He might use me in a mighty way, not so that I would be praised, but that His name would be glorified. He is teaching me to see the way He sees, and love the way He loves. This is only the beginning of a life poured out to serve the King."

“One of the things that touched and encouraged me the most about this past weekend was actually seeing other set apart girls! Another encouragement was just watching Eric and Leslie interact together- they deeply love one another, but you can see that the eyes of their hearts are first set on Christ. I have seen very few (if any) successful and happy married couples, so just to see those two actually living and believing in the things God promised for His children is amazing and gives me strength and patience to wait.

 

I would have to say the #1 thing that impacted me and really touched my heart was the fact that Eric and Leslie told us the TRUTH. It is so rare to hear the flat out truth of the gospel without it being sugar-coated a little. True repentance happened in my heart this past weekend!  Thank you so much for having this conference!!!”

“I can't even begin to describe what this conference has done. I have never been to a conference like that in my life!  This conference didn't just give me a good message that made my heart all warm and then sent me back to my mediocre life, it dug at my heart, and made me seriously look at what I was doing and where I was in my walk with the Lord! It showed me that there was more to being a Christian than mediocracy and just being a good person. Before I came it was like I had a faint idea that there was something more, but didn't know how to do it or where to start. This conference has made it crystal clear what I need to do.

 

When I returned from the conference I was ecstatic. I was convicted about watching TV and have decided to watch little to no TV at all and spend that time furthering my relationship with Christ. I also felt convicted about my time on Facebook and especially texting. I realized how much those things were eating away at my time with the Lord.

 

Thank you so much for all you did to make that conference the best it could be. It has impacted my life forever, and I never want to turn back.”

“Last weekend was incredible. I learned so many things, about becoming selfless and being ready and now eager, to follow the Lord's will in becoming even more of a servant to His children that are lost. My heart aches for the the orphaned children, for those that I am already working with and all of the people who do not know our Wonderful Savior. I also learned about the power of prayer. I've never really asked for healing for myself as I did with Annie and Lucy. What an experience!  After fifteen minutes, I felt pretty good and by the evening, I felt the best I had in two years! God is so faithful to those who truly seek Him and His will. Now when I feel the chest pains creeping in, I just say, "NO!" and each time, they have immediately subsided!


Thank you once again for all of your selfless examples to me and the other girls. It was such a blessing to meet others whose hearts and actions reflect Jesus Christ.”

Heidi, 22



“This girls' conference was my first conference with the Ludys and I can definitely say I will be returning! The Presence of God just fills the room when they are speaking and I felt such a peace and understanding in my heart that God has definitely anointed these two to bring truth and that they are totally following His will for their lives. The Message they speak of is not one that they speak without passion. Every word they say is from the Almighty Himself and has His passion attached with it. What a great weekend to connect with other set apart girls and share the fire that is burning in each of our souls for our King! It is a weekend I will not soon forget!”
