PRAISE BY THE WAVES 10th ANNUAL CONFERENCE: APPOINTED FOR THIS
About this Event
Praise by the Waves 10th Annual Conference is a transformational three-day experience designed to encourage, equip, and commission individuals to walk boldly in their God-given purpose.
Under this year’s theme, “Appointed For This” (Esther 4:14), attendees will experience powerful worship, dynamic keynote speakers, engaging breakout sessions, meaningful fellowship, and practical biblical teaching that speaks to every season of life.
The weekend begins with The Call on Friday evening, continues with a full day of empowerment during Equipped for Assignment on Saturday, followed by The Royal Banquet, an evening of celebration honoring ten years of ministry. The conference concludes on Sunday with Commissioned for More, a powerful commissioning brunch reminding every attendee that the conference is not the destination—it’s the launching point. Participants will leave empowered to serve with renewed faith, purpose, and impact in their homes, churches, workplaces, schools, businesses, and communities.
Whether you are a ministry leader, entrepreneur, educator, student, parent, or someone seeking clarity for your next season, this conference is for you.
Come expectant. Leave equipped. Live commissioned.
