\nThe World Wrestling Federation is not the only organization with claims on that acronym. Women's Worship Fellowship is another proud bearer of those letters. Started in 2001 in Fort Worth by me and my cohort, Mary Luker, it began as an experiment in women worshiping in freedom in a home setting. We would sing for hours straight out of the Scripture while artists of various forms worked away at their expressions. We loved it being in homes and the freedom that atmosphere provided. In that initial launching time, some amazing songs and works of art were birthed. More than that, we went places in worship that aren't often seen in a quicker, more official type setting. There were times we felt like we were singing the songs of heaven.
\nWhen I moved to Colorado, I ached for those times and wondered if God would allow us a chance to experience that again. In fall 2005, Cathleen Hobson and I launched WWF Colorado with a group of ladies more ready and raring to go than we had ever experienced. For two years now, 30-40 ladies have attended each event (still in a home!) and each event is different. We have experimented with dance, art, communion, prayer, journalling, foot washing and spontaneous worship blow outs! We have seen women refreshed, encouraged, freed up, healed and connected to other women in the process.<\/p>\n

We began dreaming about the possibility of taking some of our Colorado women to encourage women in other places, to give away to others what has been given to them. We put out the feelers with some friends in Texas and immediately got some takers. The goal of the trip would not be to go show other gals "how it's done", but rather to inspire them to pursue times of worship within their own communities. We want to communicate that ANYBODY can gather women together to worship, no stage or sound system required. We wanted to release them in their giftings and pray for them to be freed up from the fear of man.<\/p>\n

This is the week! A group of 6 of us is being sent out on Wednesday. We will join forces with Marsha Ashabraner, Mary Luker and Kim Vidaurri to gather with women in several cities in Texas including Prosper, Fort Worth, Houston and Benbrook! If you are interested in any of these events, please visit our WWF website at www.myspace.com\/womenworship<\/a> for locations and details. Please pray for us as we call down the Kingdom on these women! We want to see women free to express themselves to God exactly how He designed them to.<\/p>\n
