In conjunction with the National Conference on Preaching, this year, there will be an auxiliary conference with a similar theme, Refreshing the Woman’s Soul (RWS). This gathering is specifically designed for pastors’ wives and women in ministry. It will feature female leaders who can speak about the challenges women face in ministry and their personal lives. The RWS luncheon is sponsored by Contagious Joy for Him and Restoring the Home.
