Come to the Fire 09 was truly the most blessed conference I've experienced(I was a first timer) because of the presence of God. I felt I was on Holy Ground. I think it fulfilled the intentions of each speaker and music person to help us leave with a better understanding of a holy heart, as we surrendered our wills toHis . because of limited physical strenth due to much chronic pain;it seemed that Friday(13th)

 Awesome! Thank you for all the work you all did to make this weekend exactly what God wanted it to be, for being willing to be used.  I have desired a deeper relationship with God for some time and this weekend He made it clear that in order for that to happen I would need to empty myself and let Him be my center and source.  The worship time was very meaningful. If you ever do a worship

There are more than a few words to describe this conference for women on the "Holy Heart".  A few words or phrases that come to my mind, are: Awesome, Amazing, Spirit Filled, Wonderful, Full of GOD'S presence, Exciting, Humbling, Spirit led, full of God's Grace & Truth, Encouraging, Uplifting, the Holy Spirit's conviction, Powerful, Knowledge too wonderful to explain, and so many more! 

I came into the conference with great anticipation and faith knowing Jesus would be there.  I had been devasted with imprisonment of my child for 2nd DUI and 30 yrs. after the fact, an extensive confession of infidelity and deceit from my husband.  This was an emotionally killing and challenging year for me.  God met me strongly answering "yes" to every prayer for my child.  My

This was my first time to attend the Come to the Fire. I knew that I needed to get before the Lord in a 'REAL' way for some time. Six years ago I married my husband who was a member of the First Church of the Nazarene in Columbus Indiana. I was involved in my own church during our courtship, and WE determined that WE could remain with the same type of separate church attendance after we got married.

.  Fear of Interstate traffic - Prior to Conference prayed that God would show me a miracle and provide a 'way' to get through afternoon traffic.  Merging onto I-65 from I-24 - NOT ONE VEHICLE WAS IN SIGHT.  There was a massive group way ahead and one way behind once I merged.  I was able to make my exits without traffic.  It happened like this ALL weekend back and forth to

This was the first COME TO THE FIRE prayer conference I have gone to, and I am glad I attended.  It was awesome and overwhelming to realize so may women would be in attendance from all over the world!  [See how much we needed this?!] I personally found it to be both powerful and thought provoking.  The testimonies themselves were very moving and revealing as well as being verification

This was my second time to attend "Come to the Fire".  What a wonderful experience again!  I could feel the presence of God so close to me, and I believe that closeness is still with me today.  I am the office secretary at our church and Women's Ministries Director.  We had 8 ladies attend with me.  They too enjoyed all the sessions.  I bought the DVD of the entire conference,

While at Come to the Fire, I knew God had some work He wanted to do in me. I had been harboring bitterness and unforgiveness due to a situation with a friend that had happened over a year ago. He had been urging me to forgive her, but I really didn't know how. I had worked through some materials on forgiveness but I refused to take that last step and actually forgive her. During the healing service,

It was evident from the moment I stepped into the building that there had been a lot of prayers and I felt like everyone that had a part of this great meeting had been earnestly praying for the out pouring of God. (thanks Aletha Hinthorn). I LOVED the worship music (thanks Melinda Priest), I just wish the music was on the CD's. The testimonies were so good and I related to one in particular I even

I enjoyed so much the entire ministery team.  You were all wonderful and spirit filled.I look forward to next years' conference.Thanks to all of you for a tremendious amount of work and effort that it took putting on this conference.

Come to the Fire was more then I have word to express. I have never experienced anything like it. Every one who spoke touched my heart. Melinda Priest,the worship leader, is the best I have experienced. She truely knows how to lead worship and is lead by the Holy Spirit. I'm looking forward to next year when it comes to Ft. Wayne, Indiana. I plan to bring as many as possible. Everyone needs to experience

This was my first Come to the Fire Experience, I was a little hesitate about attending, but the Holy Spirit kept pushing me toward going, and I Thank God that I listened and obeyed. I enjoyed all of the speakers but the 2 that impacted my life the most was Carolyn Johnson and Kim McLean, truly these messages were for me. My heart was touched and will never be the same.Thank you all for your great contribution

I hated to leave...I want to feel like this spiritually all the time, except for crying buckets of tears and having blood shot eyes! However, the Lord provided a service and sermon at my home church Sunday, for a good follow-up, and I'm still walking on air.This was my fourth year to attend...it would be wrong to say that one was any better than the others because of the needs that were spoken to each

Come to the Fire was better than I had even imagined.  I am excited & looking forward to next year already.  In the meantime, I am feeling many changes in my heart that I am looking forward to sharing with others as God allows me to.  Thank you so much for your heart for women and the following of His heart!  The fire is spreading!

My name is Michelle I went with my church Willaiamsburg of the Nazarene in Williamsburg , Indiana. I really enjoyed it the one that stood out to me was Kim Mc Lean it made my life seem so much easy do deal with she had a very hard life before coming to Jesus, when listening to her story I couldn't help myself I started to cry. I have a very close family & couldn't imageine,what my life would be

I really did not want to come, but my sister had asked me to come.  So I thought it would be good sister time for she is my best friend.  However, I am taking four classes and did not want to get behind since the quarter is winding down.  Anyway, I shared with my sister on the way to Nashville that in the past month I had dreamed two evil/demonic-like dreams.  In the one dream I

As a Mom, Wife, Employee, Volunteer, neighbor & active Church Member, my life is very full - just like most women I know.  So sometimes I can't figure out why I feel so empty.  Leaving the Conference I feel FULL again (Praise GOD)! And I came home with distinct affirmation that God is not finished with me yet...he still will fulfill his purpose for my life if I trust HIM completely to

I was greatly impressed with the conference and had a great time visiting there.  I loved the services and especially the messages.  I am a music lover also and can't get the theme song out of my memory.  On the way there someone told me ,because I had a light jacket, that I was going to freeze.  My reply was no I am not, I am going to the FIRE.  It has really made a difference

God's blessings just overflowed during those days. Not only was I blessed by the presence of the sweet Holy Spirit during the talks and worship but by other women there at the conference.  I made some new life-time friends.  Our shared experiences knitted our hearts together.  The day after the conference I really missed them and knew that they would know how to pray for me and encourage
