Global Legacy Partners is providing a channel for a breakthrough legacy for those who see me as their primary mentor and “Apostolic Mother” in the Lord. It can be in very diverse ways that people feel connected to me and I have learned over the years not to limit it. I have heard from people that I have mentored them through my books, my teachings, conferences and strategic events I have hosted personally and those I have been a part of. Many more have said it has been through their observation of my very life itself. I am humbled as I consider all of this and those the Lord has allowed me the privilege to impact over the years.

Now is the hour God is raising up and repositioning a new generation of women—Deborahs and Esthers—to step boldly into destiny and reshape the future, whether in the church or in the marketplace. Just as Deborah joined Barak to deliver an entire nation, and Esther risked her life to save her people by heeding God’s voice through Mordecai, so you are being positioned for a mission that only you can fulfill.
We are convening a summit of influential women leaders—trailblazers who have been transformed by God’s calling—to ignite your faith, awaken your purpose, and commission you for unprecedented impact. You’ll hear firsthand how God elevated ordinary lives into extraordinary assignments and how alignment with His voice propelled them into arenas of influence.
A summit is more than a meeting; it’s a catalytic gathering of strategic minds, stirring solutions to the pressing challenges of our time. Spiritually, this is the year God is raising up “kings”— those who stand in pivotal places, discern what needs to change, and lead the charge to advance His kingdom. Kings know their identity and authority in Christ, and they fearlessly enforce His plans on earth.
This is your day. This is your hour. Join us to be apprehended into a new dimension of assignment and to steward the sphere God has entrusted to you. Your role is vital to how the story of tomorrow unfolds. Step up, and let’s change history together. A fire will be ignited within you, and you will burn with God’s passion for your assignment.
