When God Restores Christian Women Marked by Bad Marriages, Divorce and Crazy Kids

Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, '700 Club Canada' co-host, shares her story of restoration at the Women's Journey of Faith Restore Conference in Saskatoon, Canada.

Sarah Peters, a 31-year-old Mennonite from Alberta, Canada, says, “I feel connected with God. I felt His presence, and it felt good to be connected with like-minded people. Her 18-year-old friend Nancy Dyck says this was the first time that she was at the conference and she had a fresh hunger for God’s presence.

“I feel restored to God,” says Dyck. “I realized that I don’t spend time with God on a daily basis and that I needed to make him a priority.” Bringing women together to make God a priority is one of the goals for Women’s Journey of Faith.

“In 1999 I came here (TCU Place: Saskatoon Arts & Convention Center) to go to a ‘body, spirit and soul’ conference,” says Jodi Kozan. “One of the panelist speakers was a Christian and I asked her about her faith during the Q&A. She couldn’t answer me, and I later learned that she was asked to not speak specifically about her faith.”

Kozan got the vision for hosting an interdenominational gathering to promote unity, spiritual growth and fellowship for women. The first conference attracted 850 women at Saskatoon Inn, and 300 women had to be turned away. Since then, the organization has expanded with speaker tours, equipping conferences and tours of Israel. “We’re in our 16th year, and now our speakers are traveling from neighboring provinces,” says Maureen Brown, a former board member.

The organization has become a bridge into the native population with speakers ministering at reservations. “We are a bridge between white people and Native Americans,” says Brown. With women of all ages, from every race and denomination across Canada, Women’s Journey of Faith is poised to increase the reach of the gospel.
