Our Theme:  "From Promise, To Prison, For Purpose" has been given to us under the anointing of the Holy Spirit to celebrate the manifestation of purpose in the lives of those called of God for such a time as this!  The similiarities in our processes has been to hear the call and press forward overcoming many tests and challenges along the way strategically designed by the adversary, the devil, to keep us from answering the call! 

As chosen ones, through perseverance, as overcomers, we manifest the promises of God through our lives.  The light of victory breaksthrough like a beacon of light coming forth through darkness making our lives testimonies of God's goodness for all the world to witness!

This was the case with Joseph...  He had a dream, share it with those whom he loved, was disdained because of the calling...HE DID NOT ASK FOR, imprisoned for purpose to ultimately save many alive.  Even his own family!  (Genesis 50:20)  From this we have... "From Promise, To Prison, For Purpose".

If you attended the last event...you know the Holy Spirit will definitely be in the HOUSE!  Men and women are cordially invited to attend!

Girlfriends in Christ (GIC) is a network and outreach ministry that truly understands the power of perseverance through adversity.  Whenever the purpose of a "good" work is to bring women of God together so that our gifts and talents can be celebrated without competition and jealousy the enemy raises his head to stop it relentlessly at all cost.  At inception of the ministry many who heard of it suggested that it was similar to the women's ministry within local churches.  That is far from true! 

GIC has been designed to help draw attention to the work anointed women of God have been called to do for the purposes of Kingdom building in these last days.  Our mission states it best, "Girlfriends in Christ is the ambulance (vehicle) that drives the church hurt and unchurched to ordained hospitals (churches) and clinics (ministries) to receive spiritual healing from the Master Physician."

As simple as it sounds, is a simple as it is.  We continue to seek anointed individuals, ministries and churches to enlarge our spiritual care provider database.

  As part of our Girlfriends In Christ - 8th Anniversary Praise Celebration, we would like you celebrate your own From Promise, To Prison, For Purpose.  We all have a story to tell!  So we ask that if you or someone you know has an overcoming testimony to share that they do so in writing.  Now at our last event, some people were pretty surprised at how the fulfillment of one simple request brought great delight to their hearts when they came to celebrate with us...

So here is all you need to do... Simply type or write  your personal testimony, along with an inspirational Scripture and e-mail us a photo, too.  The photo is not required, but it would be nice.  You can print it out and send it to us addressed as follows:  GIC-PPP, P. O.  Box 56260, Los Angeles, CA   90056-0260 or Email us at:  livingepistles@GirlfriendsInChrist.org.  If you email, please place PPP-Testimony in the "subject line". 

The submission deadline is Saturday, June 18, 2011.
