WHEN GOD IS IN A THING:
💐Yesterday's Her Influence. Our Impact - A Mother's Day Legacy Luncheon was more than I could have ever imagined!
I am still trying to gather my thoughts and process what I witnessed.
💐This conference was birthed out of a need to say, "Thank you," to four dynamic women who have supported The Backhouse since 2016!
Each Speaker and our guests, Mothers were affectionately honored as we took time to "Speak Her Name." How moving it was to hear our Mother's legacy say her name aloud.
🫂I WANT TO PUBLICALLY THANK OUR TEAM:
🙏Our Heavenly FATHER for HIS vision, humbly executed through our team, unless the LORD build the house, we labor in vain.
