INFLUENCE GATHERINGS
Influence Women are wisdom warriors.
At gatherings throughout the year we come together to connect, encourage and challenge each other’s thinking. To investigate what God has to say about our culture and the world. These invigorating conversations have lead to films being made, books being written, and lives being inspired.

“From your talk, to the speakers, to the women I got to pray with, it was an evening I couldn’t have missed. I spoke with three of the speakers (one I had met before) and made about 4 new friends.”
