Women’s Conference 2012 Walking in Abundance, Living From the Overflow
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in good health, even as thy soul prospereth.� 3 John 1:2
A Message f rom the President:
Dear Daughters of Destiny,
I am well pleased that you have decided to join us at our 2012 Women’s Conference. For many of us, the enemy has launched several attacks upon our family, ministry and business to distract us from being here. However, we know that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard. Once again, we have proven that the devil is a liar and a defeated foe. The battle has already been won and we are victorious! This year we are expecting the Spirit and Presence of God to show up in a new, mighty and powerful way. I am convinced that God has something extraordinary special in store for you, because you have taken the initiative and made the decision to allow Him to lead you here. You did not give up or give in to the enemy; but have decided to give it your all and pursue the presence of God. Over the next few days, please allow the invisible hand of God to be at work in your life. Begin to walk in the abundance, by allowing the Holy Spirit to guide and lead you into the supernatural. If you had stayed home and waited for a “spiritual” feeling, you might have waited a long time-- and still probably would have decided to go to the wrong place. Instead, you have chosen to experience the natural moving of the supernatural hand of God. Ladies, walk in the Spirit and let your eyes be on the presence of God. In His presence there is a pour out of His anointing. In His presence there is a spread out of His Glory. In His presence you will be renewed and transformed. In His presence there is fullness of peace and joy. In His presence you will be overloaded with His favor. In His presence you will experience life in abundance, to the fullest and in the overflow. Therefore, be prepared and ready to experience some of the wonderful move of God. An encounter with God will change your life forever!
Blessings, Dr. Helga Clarke

Conference Speakers Pastor Jolinda Wade Chicago, IL
As a teacher, motivator, and spiritual leader Pastor Jolinda Wade serves as the Senior Pastor of New Creation Binding and Loosing Ministries Int’l in her native hometown of Chicago, Illinois. In just a few short years, Pastor Wade has become one of the most charismatic and dynamic speakers in the country. Through New Creation Binding and Loosing ministries, she is able to focus on the community in which serves. Through it, she has participated in a domestic violence walk for children in Puerto Rico, establishing ties with politicians, recovery addiction alcohol center at Loretto Hospital in Chicago and she was awarded by the Chicago Defender for her faithful works in the community in September 17th 2011. Her most recent endeavor, the foundation appropriately named Barrier Breakdown Transformed Foundation (B.B.T.), allows her to do more of the community service she has become known for. The programs she has established through the foundation include a feeding ministry, sewing ministry, and prison ministry as well as an all girls camp. In addition to her duties with the ministry, Pastor Wade is the mother of four adult children (Tragil, Keisha, Deanna and Dwyane) as well as the proud grandmother of eight. Through it all, Pastor Wade never loses sight of her purpose: to bring honor and glory to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Pastor Wade’s passion for uplifting the lost and broken is rooted in her own remarkable journey from the streets to the pulpit. Pastor Jolinda Wade began reading the Word faithfully and included devotional prayers as a part of her daily routine. Over time, she underwent a miraculous transformation behind bars until she found herself being used by God to Minister to fellow inmates. Prison Administrators and guards took note of the change she under went, particularly the effect she was having on other inmates in the Maximum Security Tier of the Federal Penitentiary she resided in. She was released from prison for the final time on good behavior in 2003. That same night, another of her prayers was answered when her son Dwayne was selected 5th overall by the Miami Heat in the NBA draft. She had come full circle, having been invited back to the prison as a guest minister; it was an invitation she did not take lightly. Determined to make good on her promise to serve the Lord, Jolinda immediately set out to lay the groundwork for her ministry. In the ensuing years, Pastor Wade established TOPBALM now known as New Creation Binding and Loosing Ministries, B.B.T., and penned her autobiography, “Divine Grace Behind the Walls”, published in 2010. Her weekly radio broadcast, which can be heard on 1570 A.M., is centered on changing lives and spreading the word of God. Her annual back to school drive provides essential school supplies to hundreds of Chicago’s school children. She has helped dozens of people improve their walk with God through her Men and Women Fellowships. Though she has worked diligently to establish her ministry, Pastor Wade is quick to give credit where it is due. She sums up her feelings in one of her favorite testimonies: “If God can take me from the gutter most to the uttermost, then, he can do it for anybody!”
