women's conferences by radka

My name is Radka Sefrankova, and I serve as one of the coaches
in the Internship [Staz] program. I am also a part of the new “Women's Ministries” team in KAM [Josiah Venture Czech]. January is the month of our Men and Women's conferences, so the Interns spent time separately dealing with issues related to being a godly man or woman. The seminar for women was open not only to Interns but also to women in any way involved in the ministries of KAM.

This seminar was followed by a big weekend conference for girls and women. The Interns were involved in preparation and leadership. It is a great way for us to serve together, and to learn new things.

During the women's seminar we covered the topics of “I am God's daughter”, ”My time with the Father”, ”Overcoming hurts and disappointments with the Father”, ”Desires of a woman's heart”, ”Seductions of a woman's heart”, ”Satisfying a woman's heart”, and more.

This women's seminar is a part of our bigger vision of a movement of women through discipleship in local churches. The core of this vision is women serving each other; older women teaching younger women and giving them an example of a life surrendered to our Lord Jesus Christ. That is what discipleship means to us.

Through the KAM Internship program we hope, among other things, to support women and churches that want to build up their ministry to
women. We want to provide adequate materials and resources for those in ministry to be able to serve according to their gifts. We hope to see the wives of men in ministry get involved so that discipleship is a lifestyle. We want to support and help in areas when support and help are needed. We want to be ready to react to needs. With this view of Christ's bride - the church - we serve our female Interns, and we also try to direct them and to teach them with this in mind.

With trust we wait for God's guidance and help. Please write to us, if you have any comments, ideas or encouragement. We would love to hear from you.
