The Northeastern Conference Portuguese Ministries held its first women’s retreat March 3-5, at the Southbridge Hotel and Conference Center. About 220 women gathered for a spiritually-enriching weekend.
Dilene Ebinger, couple and family therapist, was the main speaker. She guided the women on a journey into their past and into their hearts. The group broke through emotional barriers and overcame obstacles, finding freedom in Jesus’ loving and forgiving arms. They left the retreat feeling empowered to continue the race of life alongside Jesus.
A special thank-you to Leilane Seifert, Gilda Souza, Gisele Silva, Audilia Dias, and her team for the months of hard work putting this event together which has richly blessed the lives of so many women.
