What an incredible start to 2026 this has been in Cebu, Philippines. With your partnership the first quarter of the year is ending with an incredible impact for Healthy Families and Hopeful Hearts.
In February, Glory Reborn was honored to host our second Healthy Relationships Conference. This two day conference brought over 100 hopeful hearts together to learn from church leaders and relationship experts how to walk in truth, identity, love, support of one another and gain greater clarity on the Biblical model for Healthy Relationships. We were delighted to hear the feedback of healing and deep nurturing of relationships that has taken place since the conference. With much support we look forward to making Healthy Relationships a regular part of Glory Reborn's program and ensure Healthy Families and Hopeful Hearts.
I invite you to feel the palpable joy and witness the smiles that radiate from being seen. Feel the embrace of acceptance as a prayer of blessing is spoken over you. Experience the compassionate care provided to you and lift your hands in worship to the King of Kings!
This was Women’s Wellness Fest 2026! In one of the largest malls in Cebu City, hundreds of women gathered to build community and nurture their wellness; Physically, Mentally, Socially, Occupationally, and Spiritually. From free HIV testing and one-on-one consultations with nutritionists to practical mental health activities like painting, calligraphy, art workshops, and crafting, our mental wellness flourished. As we listened to incredible live violinists while a live artist painted, we connected with new communities of women and built friendships. Exercising together filled us with joy and increased our strength and love for the bodies God has given us. Women’s health topics helped us understand our bodies and guard our health.
For women looking to build their careers, we were delighted to offer resume-making sessions and talks on growing skills in the digital age. Well-esteemed panelists shared their insights on balancing family, career, self-care, and health—and even gave a sample song! It was incredible to have "real talk" with such inspirational women who encouraged the women in the crowd with their relatable advice and daily wellness lifestyles.
Partners from multiple churches offered prayer to participants, where tears of relief and joy filled eyes and the hope of Jesus filled hearts. The prayer line was incredible, ensuring hundreds of hearts were prayed over. Faithful partners graciously made the Today With God app available to all who were wanting to know Jesus more. Women’s Wellness Fest ended with a sweet time of worship filling the mall and giving thanks to Jesus for what He has done.
As I reflected on this third Women’s Wellness Fest, my heart is so grateful for the Glory Reborn team, friends, partners, volunteers, and community who all worked together to make this day possible. I believe that this is part of the vision God gave me many years ago: expanding our net to hold and carry generations in wellness. The ability to have HIV testing, physical wellness consults, live music and art, calligraphy skills, exercise routines, resume and digital skills learning, prayer, famous guest speakers, Bible sharing and worship all together in a mall still amazes me. It is what only God can do to bring communities of women from all walks of life together.
Personally, I was delighted to see the mommies of "ausome" kiddos come together and enjoy this refreshing event where everyone is valuable and everyone belongs. It was most certainly the best International Women’s Day, honoring women from all walks of life and remembering that our greatest source of wellness and power is in Christ alone. Happy Women’s Month!
