An Invitation to Shine

 

The Blue Cord
Conference

What is The Blue Cord Conference?

Speaking about the love of Jesus should be easy. So why does speaking openly about our biblical faith sometimes feel risky? If you are like most Christian women here and around the world, you WANT to be a light for Jesus, but something holds you back. You might worry, "What if I offend her? What if she thinks I'm pushing my faith on her? What if she asks me questions I can't answer?" Then we let the opportunity to share the hope of Jesus pass. We understand. It's countercultural to share our biblical faith in our multicultural "live and let live" society. But Jesus calls us to shine. The Blue Cord Conference is a life-changing, faith-building event for women (and mature girls age 12 and up) that will inspire and encourage you to live out and shine your light for Jesus boldly as you learn to trust God more fully. Bring your daughter! 

"I love it when you can grasp arms with like-minded sisters, to get out of your comfort zone to do what God has called us to do, which is to reach the nations."

Process Together

Knowing something and doing it are two different things!  We'll guide you through a signature Blue Cord process to help you go from  "I can't" to "I can" to "I do" share Jesus across faiths in your daily life. Easy to remember, and simple to do.

Build Community

If no one you know is sharing Jesus across faiths, how likely are you to be doing it? If you're like most women, not at all. Come find wholehearted women who are learning to be ambassadors for Christ, and model that for their families. 

What To Expect

Coming-to-Jesus stories from other-faith background believers will remind you that following Jesus is worth it all.

A practical workshop will give you easy-to-remember ways to start conversations that naturally lead to Jesus across faiths. 

Real-life stories from everyday believers will give you courage to open your mouth for Jesus, and model that for your family. 

Expand your network. Meet and make new like-minded friends in a small-group lunch field trip to an ethnic restaurant.

A fun, immersive, interactive experience will grow your compassion for women who have never heard about Jesus. 

Learn why your children and grandchildren need to see you sharing your biblical faith across faiths and cultures right now.
