Comments from previous summits:
"I enjoyed the practical presentation in the women's ministry classes as well as hearing from the other churches.  It was nice to hear...of the different tools that are available to minister to missionaries also...and...to have my eyes opened to the different levels of need."

"I really enjoyed the conference last Saturday and would go again this Saturday if I could. I learned so much and was so inspired."

"Everything I learned was practical and immediately applicable to our situation."

"My teachers were all excellent teachers and approachable."
