JLH PURE CONFERENCE

Yesterday was the Jesus Lifehouse Pure Conference.

190 women came to learn about how to be a strong, beautiful, pure woman!!

It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

The theme of the day was TEAMWORK

We had 4 main sessions

SESSION 1- Ps Viv Plummer

Ps Viv talked about the ancient Greek defense formation called the PHALANX. This defense needs teamwork!! Everyone locks their shields together to create an imprenetrable line. If you are behind the Phalanx you are protected and stronger but if you are standing off to the side on your own then you are weaker and an easy target.

This is a Phalanx

In life we were created to be in relationship with others. We shouldnt be alone. We need to build great relationships with our partner, our friends and mentors/leaders in our life so that we can be strong and see victory over any difficult situations we might face.

She shared from Ephesians 6 and focussed on the SHIELD OF FAITH.

1. We are not designed to work alone

2. Don't isolate yourself

3. The rewards of being part of a team

a. PROTECTION & SAFETY

b. MULTIPLIED STRENGTH

c. SHARED VICTORY

SESSION 2- Ps Emi Shirasaya

She also talked about the SHIELD OF FAITH and talked about connection with others.

1. Get vertically connected

*connect to leaders in your life. The more you support and help your leader the better position they are in to support and guide you!!

2. Get connected to the future

*get connected to the next generation. We need to help build into the next generation so that they also can be strong and successful.

3. Go outside and get connected

* get outside the 4 walls you are in and meet new people and be a positive influence in their lives. Its so important that you are personnally strong and have great connections with your friends and leaders so that you can influence those who need it and not the other way around. Dont allow other peoples negativity or bad choices to influence you!!

SESSION 3- Ps Rod Plummer

We were lucky to get a 'Daddy' talk from Ps Rod. He and his wife Viv have an amazing marriage and we can learn alot from them about how to have great relationships!!

Senior Pastors at Jesus Lifehouse International Church Tokyo.

He spoke mainly for the single women and just like a great father told us what great christian men are looking for in a woman.

Women who....

1. Love God, Love the church

2. Are already secure and who dont get that security from men but from God

3. Take care of their appearance.

4. Confident and doing life well

5. Having fun. (women who are enjoying being single and not looking desperate are much more attractive to men)

6. Willing to work with him to grow (its a team. She shouldnt be like a mother to him but she also shouldnt be a burden on him. You have to both be confident and committed to growing and changing together)

It was an awesome day filled with lots of awesome advise from the bible that anyone (Christian or not) can apply to their lives and become a stronger woman!!
