Report For Ladies' Conference Held March 7, 2026 at Apostolic Faith Church, WECA Headquarters, Anthony, Lagos.

‎

‎

Introduction

‎The Ladies Conference held on March 7, 2026, was a spiritually enriching and impactful gathering designed to encourage women to understand and embrace the different seasons of life through God’s wisdom and guidance. The conference brought together women of different ages, backgrounds, and life stages to reflect on the divine timing of God in their personal journeys as women, daughters, wives, mothers, widows and leaders.

‎The programme focused on helping participants appreciate that every stage of life carries its own purpose and responsibility, and that walking with God through each season leads to growth, maturity, and fulfillment.

‎Registration and Early Activities

‎Registration commenced at 8:35 a.m., with the registration team already on ground and fully prepared to receive participants. Prior to the conference, a pre-registration system had been created to accommodate both online and physical participants, which greatly improved the efficiency of the registration process.

‎During registration, participants who had completed the pre-registration process were verified and ticked off, while those who had not pre-registered were captured on the spot to ensure that everyone in attendance was properly documented.

Beyond the registration process, the unit also played an important role in monitoring the timing of the programme, tracking physical attendance, and ensuring proper class distribution. The objective was to maintain well-balanced classes that would remain small enough to allow meaningful interaction, discussion, and participation among attendees.

Opening Ceremony: Singspiration and Learning of the Ladies’ Conference Anthem

The conference began with a singspiration session where participants engaged in spirited singing and praise. This moment of worship helped create a warm and spiritually receptive atmosphere for the rest of the program. During this session, attendees were also taught the Ladies’ Conference Anthem. Learning the anthem gave us a sense of unity and shared identity among the women, reminding us of the purpose of the gathering and encouraging collective participation throughout the conference. An opening prayer was made thereafter.

Welcome and Opening Addresses‎

Following the opening prayer, the conference was officially declared open through the DS Opening Speech. In this address, the District Superintendent highlighted the significance of the conference, introduced the theme, and encouraged the women to approach the sessions with openness and commitment to growth.
