Stories With Impact

Maye, Richmond, Virginia
“IMPACT was exactly what God had prepared for me at this time in my life. On a personal level, I needed the encouragement and insight that I received from Carol Kent. Jennifer Kennedy Dean challenged me to pray more for the lost, and she modeled in her closing prayer how our prayers make a difference. The electives gave me tremendous take home value in working with potential speakers for Stonecroft and in my own understanding of praying for and seeking out the lost.

Michele, San Diego, California
“The air travel was a direct route, the shuttle was easy and convenient, the hotel was beautiful and the staff was helpful and cheerful, I found the speakers wonderful, the worship touched my heart, I met women from all over the country who love this organization and give freely of their time, gifts and resources to bring others to Christ. The meals were great, and I loved meeting all the staff members.

“I wish I had heard about Stonecroft years ago as I move often, and it would have been so nice to have "instant" sisters in my new community, but maybe the Lord didn't allow that, so that I would be more dedicated to telling others now. I am administrative assistant now, but have been asked to be Chair this June. I am honored and unworthy of this responsibility. But I said "yes" and with all I learned at the conference I hope our prayers and dedication as a group will serve His purposes.

“This conference was what I told my husband I wanted for Christmas...and it's all I want for this year too!

Janet, Delta, British Columbia
“This was my first visit to Kansas and the whole experience was amazing. The conference exceeded my expectations tenfold. The multi media presentations really reflected the age we live in and it was very impressive. The networking and breakout sessions were very professional as well as helpful in my ministry at home here in Delta. The hotel was lovely and the staff very courteous. The attention to detail was fantastic even down to the thank you cards on the last day.

“I am very proud and excited to be a part of such a dynamic, empowering, encouraging, forward-thinking Christian organization. Keep up the great work—I am off to make and Impact on the lives of those around me!”

Diane, Marietta, Georgia
“The highlight for me was seeing the visual demonstration of praying for the lost from Jennifer Dean. I never, until now, thought of myself as a conductor between God and earth. I will see myself that way from now on.”

Nancy, Westminster, Maryland
“I really liked the team-building. Without a doubt, this has been the most phenomenal conference I’ve been to. To see the unity and the excitement, and to see how God is using these women—it’s phenomenal.”

Tania, Littleton, Colorado
“The conference has made me think I need to have a two to three minute HIStory in my life and to work on it so it comes easily when someone asks me about the hope I have within me.”

Laurie, Carson City, Nevada
“I have been impressed with the new initiatives and the movement to try to meet women today with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”

T.J., Walnut Creek, California
“I’m leaving here with a commitment to have corporate community prayer with the women in leadership back home.”

Dianne, Littleton, Colorado
“One thing I learned is that the goal is not for me to do it myself. The goal is to be part of the team and do my part and God will take care of the rest of it.”

DeVonna, Morgan Hill, California
“It’s changed my paradigm for the lost—shifted my entire perspective.”
