Indiana —Five members of Chapel West Church in Indianapolis, known as the Women of Praise, shared their talents as the praise team for the Florida "Joy Unstoppable" women's conference last October. As one of the praise team members, I hoped our music would touch someone's heart and possibly change lives. But to my surprise, I was the one who was touched by the music and its powerful words.

The personal stories shared by the guest speakers empowered me and gave me a greater awareness of how powerful, but yet loving, our God is to us. Even though the retreat only lasted three days, it was a joy to bond and share with women who have walked in different paths but have the common goal to serve God.
