"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Luke 4:18-19
What do these words mean to us as young women who follow Christ?
Join a diverse gathering of young women from across the country in a time of self-discovery and spiritual empowerment. We will explore what our faith says about issues of injustice and what we can do to live God's love on our campuses, in our congregations, and in our communities.
