RAW Conference
Since 2019, RAW has been hosting conferences that have brought together women from all over the country, and even occasionally from other parts of the world! Combining real, raw testimonies from other women, a devoted time to prayer, worship, real conversation, and a multitude of resources, a RAW Conference is not your typical women's gathering. In fact, the goal is that every woman there is changed by the encounter and leaves walking a little (or a lot) closer to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The RAW Conference is open to women of all faiths and backgrounds, ages 14 and up. No childcare is provided. Conferences are typically not live-streamed to preserve the privacy of the participants.

TESTIMONIALS
RAW WAS AN EMPOWERING, ENCOURAGING, THOUGHT PROVOKING AND EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE FILLED WITH REAL WOMEN, REAL STRUGGLES AND REAL FAITH. IT TOUCHED AND INSPIRED MY HEART TO DIG DEEPER INTO GOD'S WORD; TO TRULY LIVE A LIFE CALLED TO AUTHENTICITY AND TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF HIS WORD.
CHERYL
THE RAW CONFERENCE WAS A DAY FILLED WITH IMPERFECT WOMEN COMING TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE OUR PERFECT GOD. TO SHARE, TO ENCOURAGE AND TO HEAL. IT WAS SPENT IN A SIMPLE YET BEAUTIFUL SPACE WHERE THE FOCUS WAS ON JESUS AND HIS LOVE.
LAURIE
I FOUND THE AFTERNOON INSPIRING AND MOTIVATING. AS A WOMAN WHO IS OFTEN ANXIOUS AROUND LARGE GROUPS OF WOMEN DUE TO PAINFUL EXPERIENCES GROWING UP, IT WAS SUCH A BLESSING TO HEAR STORIES OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS IN THE LIVES OF OTHER WOMEN WHO ALSO STRUGGLE IN DIFFERENT WAYS BUT ARE ALLOWING GOD TO FIGHT BATTLES FOR THEM INSTEAD OF TURNING TO BITTERNESS AND ANGER. I'VE DONE MY OWN FIGHTING FOR A LONG TIME AND IT WASN'T UNTIL A FEW YEARS AGO THAT I REALIZED I WAS TOO EXHAUSTED TO TRY AND MEET MY OWN EXPECTATIONS - THAT JESUS SIMPLY WANTS ME AS I AM AND IS REALISTIC IN HOW HE SEES ME, EVEN IF I'M NOT. THAT'S MAINLY WHAT I TOOK AWAY FROM RAW THIS YEAR - IF GOD IS CALLING ME TO BE VULNERABLE WITH OTHERS, HE IS ABSOLUTELY CALLING ME TO BE VULNERABLE WITH HIM AS WELL.
ERIN
II WOULD DESCRIBE RAW AS A SERENE TIME SPENT WITH MY SISTERS IN CHRIST HEARING TESTIMONIES THAT SHOW HOW GOD MOVES, THE POWER OF THE LIVING WORD AND THE POWER OF REPENTANCE AND FORGIVENESS. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO LIVE FOR GOD AND NOT BE TRANSFORMED. THESE WERE TESTIMONIES OF TRANSFORMATION. GOD'S LOVE AND TRANSFORMING POWER AND AUTHORITY IS NOT LIMITED TO OUR CIRCUMSTANCES.
