Women work so hard and give much to their families and ministries—something wife, mother, recording artist, ministry leader, reality star and music executive Karen Clark Sheard knows all too well.
In an effort to show appreciation and pour back into the lives of ladies who sacrifice continually, the first lady of Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church of God and Christ in Detroit, MI, is hosting an international women’s summit this fall.
Ladies 1st “A Celebration of Women” Inaugural International Summit will be held September 10-13, 2014, in Virginia Beach, VA. It will bring together pastors, co-pastors, bishops, and minister’s wife, widows and adjutants from all over the world and from every denomination.
For three days of sharing, healing and breakthrough in a relaxing environment outside of the traditional church landscape, women will fellowship and replenish. To date, confirmed presenters include Faith Evans, Erica Campbell, Dorinda Clark Cole, Vickie Winans, Jacky Clark Chisholm, and Kierra Sheard.
“As a partner in ministry with my husband [Bishop J. Drew Sheard], and through my travels, I get to see firsthand the need for this summit,” she says. “These women of God are often forced to conceal their struggles from the friends, who just don’t understand, and the congregations that they serve. They have stories to tell and hearts to be healed.”
