Are you a woman who longs to fulfill a greater purpose with your life? Join women from all over Montana and be empowered to walk in the calling God has on your life. You'll be encouraged and equipped, and you'll connect with other women with a similar passion to be used by God for mighty things. Whether you’re single or married, old or young, a stay-at-home mom or in a career—we believe God is going to meet you here.
We will have life-changing teaching from the Bible and ministry, along with extended times of powerful worship. There will also be plenty of laughter, opportunities to pray for one another, and time to relax at the beautiful Fairmont Hot Springs.
CONFERENCE TEAM
Margie Arends
Margie Arends is the founder of Deborahs Arising and will be one of our featured speakers. She and her husband, Paul, are senior pastors in Kalispell, Montana. They have ministered together in the Treasure State for over 35 years with a heart to see a move of God in Montana and the Rocky Mountain region. Margie has ministered in nations all over the world and has become a spiritual mom to people in many nations. She is the author of several books and appeared on television and radio broadcasts. Her passion is to see women released into their full potential, whatever that might be. She believes God is calling women to rise up for such a time as this.
Tanaia Wise
Tanaia is a young “Deborah” that has heard the call of God to arise and make an impact. She is full of fiery passion for Jesus, and has a passion to see young women healed of trauma and growing in their new identity in Jesus. She is the manager of an outreach-based coffee shop in Kalispell that is impacting lives for Jesus, one cup of coffee at a time. In addition, she serves on the administrative staff of her home church.
Unisha Arends
Unisha is a fiery woman of God with a passion to see women set free and experiencing encounters with Him. She’s a wife, a mom of 4 (with one more on the way), a homeschool teacher, and pastors alongside her husband here in Montana. Before moving to the USA, she worked in the medical field oversees. You won’t want to miss her powerful story and the ministry she brings.
Montana Will Worship
The band from Montana Will Worship has been leading powerful worship events all across the state of Montana. Led by recording artist John Gabriel Arends, this team has a passion to bring people into life-changing encounters with the presence of God. They’ve seen powerful miracles take place, people giving their lives to Jesus and getting baptized, and Christians from diverse denominations unified. John and the team played with Sean Feucht for the “Let Us Worship” events in Montana. We are grateful to have them leading worship for this event, and we know that you will be powerfully impacted by their music and ministry. You can get a little taste of their worship in this music video they filmed here in Montana:
