Leadership–7 Simple Steps to a Passionate & Powerful Women’s Ministry

“If you think you are a leader and no one is following you are only taking a walk” John Maxwell. A ministry leader who is not passionately committed to the call of God on her life, will not inspire much passion in others. On the flip side, a leader who clearly knows what God has called her to do, has the opportunity to influence the entire world for generations to come. When Jesus said, “follow me”–women followed. Together, we will look at 7 examples he has set before us and be inspired to see Him work through us!

Pat will help you:

Identify the particular “calling” God has on your life today.
Find balance in the multitude of “hats” we wear as women while still stepping into the passion God has placed in your heart.
Inspire the partnership of others who share your ministry vision and place them into roles that result in unity and success.
Gain a deeper understanding of how Jesus led and learn to follow His example in your own leadership role.
How to make people on your team feel empowered and effective

Fundraising Keynote for Pregnancy Resource Centers, Adoption Agencies and Social Service Ministries.

As founder of one of the nations largest pregnancy resource centers Pat has spearheaded the leadership of an international post abortion recovery ministry; an adoption agency and a profession client-coaching program. Pat is not only a passionate voice for the unborn but for those living out God’s assignment to “feed” His sheep! Pat’s own “voice for choice” and living through the heartbreak of her own chosen abortion as a young college student, has left her with a passionate determination to help women heal from the shame of abortion and more urgently generate partnership and support for those who fight this battle on a daily basis. Pat’s personal story of restoration, calling and eventually adoption of one of those precious “saved” lives has filled her with a message that not only inspires healing but effectively motivates financial support needed to make it happen.

Here are a few comments from recent pregnancy center and adoption agency fund raising banquets:

“We actually had the most successful banquet we have ever had this year!! Pat was AMAZING and we HIGHLY recommend her! Her testimony and sweet spirit were so touching! We received many compliments about her.”

Jamie Stacy, Center for Pregnancy Choices

“We were in awe of how pat was able to speak directly to the audience of supporters using her personal testimony to challenge their increased support. Her speaking style is unassuming yet sophisticated and delightfully witty. Our supporters are still talking about our banquet. Her challenging appeal encouraged our guests to give more than ever.”

Claire Cheely, Fallbrook PRC, California

“Pat was by far the best speaker we have ever had at our adoption agency woman’s luncheon. On 2 days at back-to-back events, in two different cities, Pat was delightfully funny yet inspiring with her transparent story of redemption and hope. Having her daughter join us was the cherry on top of an amazing event. The fact that we raised more money than ever turned out to be an afterthought in light of the joy our attendees experienced.”

Multi-Message Themes/Retreat Packages

The sole purpose of this unique conference is to help women understand and experience the “One of a Kind Unique Design” God created her to be and to identify His ultimate plan for their lives. In this 3-4 session interactive conference women will look at clearly defined steps to obtaining Peace with her Past; Purpose in her Present and Passion for her Future. It is a fun, insightful and life changing weekend for women.

A recent endorsement:

Pat ministered to the women of our church with a genuine heart to bring them into freedom and fullness in Christ. Through purposeful time with God, many dealt with the past that so easily entangles. Others were re-invigorated in the purpose God has for them. I’ve never met a speaker more fervent in prayer for God to show up corporately and individually… and, as a result, God used the Freedom Weekend to profoundly impact many lives!

Susan Sorensen, Pastoral Staff, Calvary Church, Grand Rapids, Mi

Freedom Quest is a unique experience designed to offer a very small group experience of body, mind and spiritual renewal. Life is tough and sometime lands us in places of feeling bruised and battered and not quite sure what step to take next.

Freedom Quest will walk you through God’s plan for your redemption; restoration and renewal while challenging you to evaluate and capture a strategic plan for life change. Freedom Quest is a time for dreams to be born or recovered and life to get a rest so that you can embrace the next thing God has planned for you. Freedom Quest is a personalized ministry program designed specifically for you by Pat and her team.

“My walk through the Freedom Quest process literally changed my life. I left the experience with more clarity about who I am in Christ and what my next steps should be. I am excited, I am renewed, I literally feel ‘Set Free’.”
