Kansas City, MO (July 22, 2014) - Thousands of women are expected to gather in the Kansas City T-Mobile Center on Aug. 22-23 for a weekend of encouragement and Bible teaching– with a line-up of powerful speakers presenting transformative messages designed to help women move “From Survival to Revival.”

When Women of Faith posed the online question “How do you know when you need revival?” responses poured in from women candidly sharing their heartbreaks and disappointments. Typical answers ranged from betrayed “You’re totally devoted and your husband leaves with another woman anyway” to “feeling like ‘is this all [there is] to life?’” to despair “You feel lost and are worn out. You question where God is and if He has maybe forgotten you.”

Women of Faith connects with women to meet them where they are, to share wisdom and insight from the Bible that offers encouragement, inspiration, and the strength to go on. Women of Faith events are “a safe, engaging place to experience the love of God,” says speaker and Bible teacher Lisa Harper.

International speakers and bestselling authors Christine Caine and Sheila Walsh, Patsy Clairmont, Lisa Harper, and comedian Anita Renfroe are scheduled to headline the event. Special guests include GRAMMY award-winning Matthew West.

The “From Survival to Revival” 2014 theme is designed to help women experience the renewal that comes from spending time in the presence of God. Women will discover new joy and a fresh sense of purpose as they hear powerful Bible teaching and enter into authentic worship.

“We as women are pulled in so many directions, trying to do a million and one things for others that we often wonder how we’re going to make it through another day. We are in ‘survival mode,’ just getting from one day to the next,” speaker and author Sheila Walsh explains. “We want women to know that God has provided everything we need for every single day, and by experiencing His strength and power and walking side by side with Him, we can move beyond survival mode, to revival – a renewed sense of purpose and passion for life and our place in this world.”

Kansas City is the 8th stop for the 2014 Women of Faith tour, which is scheduled in 20 cities nationwide. Prices range from $49 to $129 and are available at womenoffaith.com or by calling 888-493-2484.

Women of Faith has been hosting the premiere interdenominational Christian events for women in the U.S. for more than 18 years, welcoming their 5 millionth guest within the last year. Recognizing that all women are faced with challenges in their daily lives—whether they’ve lost hope in their marriages, dreams, families, jobs, friendships, finances, or in God Himself—Women of Faith wants to encourage them that God loves them.

Uplifting and inspirational messages from world-class Christian authors and performers offer relevant personal stories and practical applications for spiritual renewal, authentic connection with other women, and a deeper faith experience.
