BRIDGEWATER, Maine — The first conference of its kind on emotional healing will take place Labor Day Weekend at the Whited Bible Campground in Bridgewater.
The Healing Waters Women’s Conference is planned Sept. 2-4, 2016. The three-day, residential, Christian faith-based conference for women is directed towards the healing of deep emotional wounds caused by a variety of circumstances. These may include past physical, emotional and sexual abuse/trauma as well as hurt from past abortions.
The theme of the event is “He Calls Me Beautiful,” and organizers aim to bring women together from across the globe to the Healing Waters of Jesus Christ.
Maine resident Angel Murchison, founder of Healing Waters Women’s Ministry, will discuss post-abortion healing. Murchison knows firsthand the aftermath of an abortion and will share her journey to freedom from the shame and guilt from her past.
She is a speaker and writer and hosts the weekly radio broadcast “Destiny Moments.”
The keynote speaker will be Teia Martinez, an ordained minister who serves as the director of Righteous Acts Ministries (RAM), a counseling facility in Colorado Springs, Colo. In addition to counseling, Martinez has traveled and spoken nationally and is passionate about seeing individuals and families set free.
Martinez will speak on sexual trauma healing.
Worship leader Kim McKay-White is a graduate of Faith School of Theology in 1984 and received her bachelor of theological studies in 2015, with a minor in music and worship. She is currently a radio host for the Joy Network and an ordained minister.
When not ministering elsewhere, she attends Abundant Life Christian Life Center in Meductic, New Brunswick.
The seminar speaker on inner healing will be Karen Bode, a mother, grandmother, international bestselling author and teacher. Bode lives in Maine and spends much of her time teaching classes to women seeking freedom and healing through God’s love and word, using her life’s testimony and book “Clean Heart” as text.
The conference fee $25 and includes accommodations and all meals. The cost has been kept low to enable any woman who desires to attend to do so. Scholarships are available for financial hardship.
“We are accepting registrations until the opening meeting on Friday evening, 7 p.m., Sept. 2,” said Murchison. “We want everyone that desires to be here to come whether they have the registration fee or not. We have scholarships that are available.”
