Pastor Jenny Gilpin
Do you see what There is a quest, A search, A desire in each one of us for something more. It is the pursuit of a meaning, It is the pursuit of a life purpose, It is the pursuit of strength, In essence, it is the pursuit of our God. It is a longing, A cause, A relentless ache and a beautiful art. We reach, we chase and we run with the hope to actually touch the one who is higher than us. Our quest is often accompanied by a deep seated feeling, that the one we yearn for will never be found.
There is nothing further from the truth.
“Seek me and you will find me�
Jeremiah 29:13 Our God, not only longs for us but chases after those, who chase after Him. And in our pursuit we find wisdom, we discover His plan, we align ourselves with His purpose and we capture His heart for us and for others. My prayer over these two incredible days of The Pursuit, is that we find answers to the challenges of our lives and hearts, we find equipping for His incredible plans, and we find our hearts settled and connected in the presence of the one we pursue.

On behalf of every survivor, I would like to thank you for your generosity in sponsoring the lives of society’s most vulnerable and exploited during our 2017 conference. Through your help, this year alone we have pursued the freedom and restored the lives of 1,100 women and men. Hebrews 12 says that you and I are to run the race marked out for us. In other words, our pursuit is not for the things of this world, but Him, His heart and all that He has called us to. As a company of She Is ladies, we are called to deliver a generation out of slavery and hopelessness and into freedom, dignity and restoration.
We shall create a team of family support workers who shall empower parents in their relationships with their children, helping them to repair often strained relationships.
