The Light We Carry

Women’s Conference in Central India Builds Community and Encouragement

Over 130 women gathered for a one-day women’s conference in Central India hosted by Indigenous Ministries’ Beautiful International Women’s Ministry. It was a joyful time of connection, encouragement, tea, shared meals, and time in the Word.

This annual conference is the only opportunity many of these women have to gather in such a way. It’s a much-anticipated event that meets a deep need for fellowship and biblical encouragement.

Women Growing in the Word and in Community

Women in India face many of the same challenges women face around the world—relationships, health, education, and employment. These issues often go unspoken in daily life, but gatherings like this create space for honesty, prayer, and growth.

A vital aspect of the conference is the encouragement and spiritual nourishment these women receive through the teaching of Scripture. The women in attendance are the backbone of their homes, churches, and communities. Hearing God’s Word together, in their language and in their context, renews them to keep going.

Hands-On Fellowship and Shared Joy

One special part of the Beautiful International Women’s Conferences is creating crafts together. These shared experiences often lead to laughter, healing conversations, and lasting connections.

Thank you for praying for our national team, as well as for Kathy Miller and Dee Cook, as they ministered with joy and grace to these precious women.

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure.
