MASK-OFF Conference 2019 Booklet

Grace and Peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ. It is such an honor and privilege to welcome you to HER-Story Encounter 2019!

For 3 years, women from all walks of life have come here on the same journey to Heal, Erase and Rewrite their stories. This encounter will empower you to discover your passion and become all that God has created you to be. It will inspire and encourage you to remove the masks and break down the barriers that stand between you and your destiny. If you came with expectancy, you will leave forever changed!

I would like to thank my Covering and Spiritual Mother, Apostle Dr. Elise Banks, for being my spiritual midwife as well as understanding and cultivating the ministry that God has birthed in me. The labor pains were great, but your love, guidance, coaching, mentoring, rewarding, reprimanding, rebuking and restoring has helped me to push this baby out. I am forever grateful that God tied our destinies to each other!

Elder Cora Wharton, words can’t even begin to express how much I appreciate your prayers and guidance. You’ve been a blessing to my life since day one and I can’t thank you enough for simply being you!

I would also like to thank you all for your support and prayers for what God has entrusted these hands to do. God has promised that He will meet us here and it will surely be a time of transparency, empowerment and enlightenment. Get ready, get set, MASK OFF!
