The Next IF:Equip Study
Friends,
At IF:Gathering 2015 this February 6-7, we are going to talk about faith. Over the last year, we have seen God do incredible things in the lives of women, and we believe God for far more this year.
To prepare our hearts for our time together, we are going to study the life of Joshua starting January 19th for the next 3-weeks. We love Joshua’s example because he was a leader that believed God, despite the difficult circumstances he faced. And as a result, God did what the Israelites did not believe was possible.
Hear from Jennie Allen about the inspiration for this study.
Join us next Monday, January 19th, for the start of our study together. We are excited to begin wrestling through unbelief and will fight for a deeper faith in God. Invite other women to join you. Sign up get the daily devotional sent to your email.

As we journey through Joshua’s life, we are praying that the Lord transforms your minds and hearts with His Word. We are ready and expectant for the journey and growth that God has in store for us during this study & IF:Gathering 2015!
In faith,
