I was very inspired by the speakers and how we can relate to people outside our outreach meetings.
The statement I have shared is “life is not permanent, so change.” I have been with Stonescoft ministries meetings for a long time, but have continued to appreciate the changes that have been made and are continuing. This statement it very important in many situations in our lives!

Red Lodge Launch was a very special event for me. It was my first Stonecroft event, the speakers were marvelous, the music was so very special, the Spirit was there and wrapping Itself around our hearts. The program booklets will help each of us review our day with our Lord and fellow sisters in Christ. Many thanks to the Red Lodge women, Pauletta, the wonderful chef and the Pollard for the wonderful facility. We missed many women stuck in Casper and Rapid City by snow and wind storms. So am glad to see a mini launch is being planned for Rapid City. Our Buffalo Gals had a tremendous experience. Thanks Stonecroft!!!!!!!

I was blessed to be a part of the
Williamsburg VA Launch. I have attended many Stonecroft regional meetings through the years (since about 1993) and this was the best, most informative and exciting of all. It was fresh, to our current culture, concise, fast paced, never dull. (It is nice to have reports, but that is why we have a team meeting.) Thanks so much for every one who worked so hard to make it great. My regards to Geniva and all who have been on the road for all these weeks overseeing each Launch venue.

My experience in Lancaster was awesome.Having the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and taking part in the weekend was wonderful. I was inspired to be more aware of the women around me, to seek out someone I could mentor to, to be open to the Lord’s leading and to strenghten my relationship with Him. The exchanges at the tables were inspiring, and the opportunity to meet other women working for a common cause outstanding. God certainly blessed this gathering and I left with wonderful memories and fired up to come home and do more for Him through Stonecroft.

After being on the waiting list, my new friend Pam and I were called a few days before the Lancaster Launch. We were told that there was room! The Friday speaker segment was inspiring. We learned fresh new ways of reaching the young women where they are. The idea of the “interview” , as well as speaking among the ladies at their tables in place of the podium presentation sounded fun and more effective.
Gails presentatins on Hoisting our Prayer Sails plus Kathys facilitating group feedback on beingFishers of men-Keepers of the Acquarium were most challenging. The food and fellowship at the tables were fabulous. God truly has and is blessing this organization with a new vision reaching beyond the Outreach luncheons and dinners into the world of lost women. We thank all of Stonecroft officials for the vision and the blessing we have received. Sandy Barton, Clarksburg, W.Va.

What a joy to meet with women from all over Ohio. So many ideas were shared and the materials presented were all very practical and user friendly. The greatest part of LAUNCH was the openess in each heart. Eagerly, the women coming expected something great and guess what, we were not dissapointed. God did fill the worship and prayer time to overflowing. We had standing room only and women passing by felt drawn in by the Holy Spirit. Everyone was sharing new ideas for reaching out in their communities. The enthusiasm was contagious. This event encouraged me that Stonecroft continues to inspire and equip women for ministry today. This is an exciting time to be involved in Stonecroft because our leadership has a vision for outreach and is helping us each to know how to do that effectively for 2008 and beyond. You know that our foundation continues to be prayer from the evidence of answers. Thanks to all who prayed and participated. Love plus unity equals blessing. Thanks Geneva, Gail and all the wonderful Stonecroft staff who did this for us. We appreciate and love you.

I absolutely loved the Launch. Meeting all the ladies from the different areas was a real blessing. Our faciliator kept us on the mark with all the questions. The ladies at our table really dug into each question and the answers came from the heart. They made us think and it brought me closer in my walk with Jesus. I want to thank Stonecroft for having this event. I also wanted to thank all the wonderful ladies from Stonecroft and the volunteers at this event. You made it a wonderful learning experience and I only wish it would have been longer !!!! THANK YOU !!!

I saw first hand the benefit of the ‘Portland Launch’ as Oregon Regional Rep Bernice Muilenburg did what you/Stonecroft asked us to do … reach outside our circle of ‘Stonecroft people’ to bring someone to Launch who knows NOT Stonecroft. Bernice brought Lynne Bonnell to help her at the registration table. Lynne’s only involvement has been as a recent guide for a Stonecroft Bible study. Her words are “I have fallen in love with the simplicity of sharing God’s Word!” She previously knew little to nothing about Stonecroft. She has now signed up to be a Coordinator for SBS and is very excited about what God may have in store in her area through Stonecroft Ministries. I met another brand new Coordinator Susan Trent from Florence, OR who was just approved last week! We had only previously communicated through email and she had wanted very much to attend Launch! Registration had been filled and it looked like she would not be able to come. But wonder of wonders Paula, and Karon went to work and got us more room and Susan was able to come! She is going to be helping Sandi Ausland and her Team do a Stonecroft On The Road in just a few days in Florence! She is approved as a Coordinator now and wanting very much to have a bible study up and ready to go for the women who will attend that SOR!

So what can I say about Launch? God used it to show me the absolute value in team work as we His Body of women open up our eyes and hearts to see where He is working and to go there! We do not have to look very far for hurting and hungry women and girls in our world. They are right next door! “See the fields …” Geneva or Paula or Doris? said it usually takes about 15 times hearing the gospel to respond. We may be the fifteenth woman who shares with the girl next door. Through unconditional love, our bible studies, just being a friend who invites a girl over for coffee or to a luncheon designed with them in mind, we may be the hands and feet of Him who is calling them. So if you have not yet attended Launch … go and take someone with you. Two are better than one. Team work! I have now been to a Launch and I have registered for CHAZOWN Impact 08 in KC Oct. 10-12. I truly want to be salt in this generation need the equipping God is giving at both.

My cup of passion runneth over. I am ignited “to go and be” light in my world. Thanks for letting our little Clatskanie group serve as hostess’ by the way. Faye Marie AR and DCC in Oregon
