FOR THE WILD ONES THAT DARE TO BELIEVE...
​
​​​“Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.”
Daniel 3:28

​THE HEART OF BEGIN 2021

I think there is fire deep down in all of us that wants to be wild. To run the opposite way of the crowd and stand for something as if our life depends on it. To be fearless in the face of opposition and risk our lives for the one we love!
​
At Begin Conference 2021 we are going to take a look at the faith of warriors that stood for truth even though their lives were at stake. Why did they give it all and how can we live our lives fully surrendered even to the point of death? Is your Jesus worth it? What are your fears? How can we live this out even in what seems mundane?

​We want you to come and encounter the one...Jesus...that we are living wild for, and leave with your faith bursting with belief as you go and live daringly! 
WHAT DOES THE DAY LOOK LIKE?

​We gather to encounter Jesus, the One who awakens our hearts and sets us free. Through that freedom, Jesus empowers us to begin living out our faith boldly.

The night will include:
  • Raw, life-altering teaching
  • Stories of Hope from women in our community
  • Transformational Worship
  • Healing prayer with our prayer warrior team
  • Unique networking opportunities with boots-on-the-ground non-profits
  • Christmas shopping opportunities that support women in crisis
  • Purpose-driven breakouts

Who is BEGIN for?
  • For you friend who has a wild heart and longs to live daringly!
  • Any woman needing encouragement in their Faith
  • It's for my warrior sisters that have a story to tell and a calling to bring hope to the hopeless
  • It's for women who have been walking with Jesus for a long time or no time at all
  • It's for women that need a fresh touch from Jesus
  • It's for women that want to BEGIN living on mission and walking out their faith boldly
