But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you.

— Acts 26:16

But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you.

ISAIAH 42:12

For years, we have seen women be encouraged and equipped to fulfill their God-given purpose and echo His praises from coast to coast. And we know that this mission will continue to impact countless lives as we gather once again.

Our theme this year is SHE WILL RISE. As Acts 26:16 declares, we must rise and stand upon our feet, for God has called us to be servants and witnesses to His glory. No matter our circumstances, God instills in us the confidence to overcome and the courage to find purpose right where we are.

So let us gather together and proclaim with boldness and conviction: SHE WILL RISE.

 — Christina Gard

Senior Pastor of Grace City Church & Founder of Echo Conference

 

Make God’s glory resound:
Echo His praises from coast to coast.

Isaiah 42:12 reminds us of the power within us to spread the hope of Jesus to our communities and the world. At Echo Conference, women are empowered to rise up and answer this call.
