FOUNDED 1980
Thirty years ago, our Founder, Pastor Sheila Arthurs, encountered the city of Capernaum on her first visit to Israel. The tour guide shared with her group that Capernaum means “city of comfort.”

A PLACE OF COMFORT
The words of the tour guide echoed in her ears. God whispered to her that His women needed a place where they could come away and receive comfort, and the vision for the Gracious Women’s Ministry was born.

✨ You Already Have What You Need

Sometimes we spend so much time asking God for more—more strength, more wisdom, more confidence, more clarity—when He has already given us everything we need to live a life that honors Him.

“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life…” — 2 Peter 1:3

You don’t have to have everything figured out today.
You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t have to become someone else.

You can trust that God has already equipped you for the season He has called you into. 🌿

The question isn’t always, “What else do I need?”

Sometimes it’s:

“Am I making room to use what God has already given me?”

Today as we abide, we walk in the grace, wisdom, strength, and authority God has already placed within you. You are not lacking—you are equipped. 💛

Reflection: What has God already given you that you need to start using instead of continuing to ask for something new?

This is the INVITATION.

Prayer Boot Camp is getting closer, but we don’t want to wait until October to begin preparing for what God wants to do.

Our theme this year is ABIDE, from John 15:4:

“Abide in Me, and I in you…”

To abide means to remain, stay, dwell, and make your home in Him.

FREE Registration. Join us for a night of preparing.

There is something powerful about women who pray together. 🤍

We weren’t created to walk this journey alone.

Sometimes you need a sister who will:
🙏 Pray with you
🤍 Encourage you
🌿 Remind you of God’s promises
✨ Celebrate your victories
💛 Stand beside you in the waiting
🙌 Believe with you when your faith feels weak

At Gracious Woman Prayer Bootcamp, we’re creating a space where women can come together, grow together, pray together, and remind one another:

“You are not alone. Keep going. God is still working.”

This October, come expecting more than an event.

Come expecting connection. Community. Prayer. Renewal. Sisterhood.

🌿 ABIDE. REMAIN. BEAR FRUIT.
📖 John 15:5
📅 October 8–10

Bring your sister. Bring your prayer partner. Bring the woman who needs encouragement.
Because when women gather in faith, something beautiful happens. 🤍

Prayer Boot Camp is getting closer, but we don’t want to wait until October to begin preparing for what God wants to do.

Our theme this year is ABIDE, from John 15:4:

“Abide in Me, and I in you…”

To abide means to remain, stay, dwell, and make your home in Him.

~ What have you been abiding in lately?
~Have you been abiding in His presence or in worry?
~His Word or your thoughts?
~His peace or the pressure of everything you’re carrying?

Sometimes we can be so busy doing life that we don’t realize where our hearts have been living.

Starting this week, God is inviting you back.

Not to perform.
Not to have everything figured out.
Not to fix yourself before you come.

Just come closer.

This week:
Set aside 10 intentional minutes each day with God.

No long prayer list. No agenda.

Simply pray:

“Lord, show me where I have been dwelling instead of dwelling in You. Teach me how to abide again.”

Then sit quietly. Read John 15:1–11. Journal what He brings to your heart.

Ladies, we believe Prayer Boot Camp will be more than three days together.

We are preparing for an encounter.

Come expecting God to speak.
Come expecting God to reveal.
Come expecting God to heal.
Come expecting to leave different than you came.

Three Days. One Encounter. A Life Changed by His Presence.
