Barb Larson helps women dig deeply into God’s Word.
There we encounter not only God as He really is, but also
the truth of who we are…and who He calls us to be. Her
side-splitting humor is accompanied by a friendly and
casual manner. Her keen ability to paint word pictures
will draw women to a clearer understanding of His Word
and a deeper love for their King.
The Lord has used Barb to advance His Kingdom in places
as far away as West Africa and France, where she (and her
family of six) served Him as missionaries for twelve years.
Her cross-cultural experience, love for women, and
careful dividing of God’s Word make her a dynamic and
inspiring speaker.

| This year we are offering a "pre-treat" workshop for women's ministry leaders. We are privileged to have Jackie Redmond, EFCA National Women's Ministry Director, available to us for some in-depth leadership training on Friday morning. Jackie has some great tools to share to grow your ministry with the women in your church and community. Cheyenne Free Church will host the event at their church, 7006 N. College Drive. The workshop will be from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The cost will be $25 for this training, which includes a light breakfast and a lunch. If you want to come Thursday evening and spend an extra night at Little America, rooms are available at the same rate we have Friday and Saturday. |
