Standing in the Gap for Women on the Frontline Women’s Conference
Standing in the Gap: Women on the Frontline
Our Vision
This woman’s conference was born from a spiritual encounter with God that changed Nancy’s life and set her on a path of obedience. She felt a clear calling to create a space where women could come together to be equipped, encouraged, and strengthened in their faith. The vision is to see women walk in purpose, overcome spiritual and personal challenges, and embrace the fullness of God’s calling in their lives.
Why This Conference Matters
Women on the frontline, whether in ministry, family, work, or their communities, face unique challenges, including spiritual warfare, marriage struggles, burnout, and seasons of waiting. I know firsthand the power of faith, prayer, and community to bring healing, clarity, and resilience. This conference is a tangible expression of that calling: a space to worship, learn, connect, and receive practical tools to thrive spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.
Join Us
This is more than an event, it’s a movement. We are inviting women who feel God’s call to show up, step into this experience, and be part of something bigger than themselves. Come ready to be encouraged, equipped, and empowered.
Standing in the Gap: For Women on the Frontline is a powerful, faith-filled conference designed to equip and empower women who are standing in the spiritual gap for their families, communities, and callings. Join us for a day of worship, prayer, teaching, and breakthrough as we unite to receive God’s promises of healing, restoration, and strength. Whether you are facing challenges in marriage, ministry, or personal growth, this event will inspire you to stand strong in faith and walk boldly in your God-given purpose. Held annually in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, this conference invites women from all walks of life to come together as a community rooted in prayer and spiritual warfare.
