Women’s Leadership Conference 2026, Send Me
What began as a step of faith became a weekend we will never forget.
Our first-ever Women's Leadership Conference, "Here I Am, Send Me" (Isaiah 6:8), was a powerful two-day gathering hosted by Michelle Randall and Calvary Women's Ministry at Calvary South OC in San Clemente, California, on June 5–6, 2026.
This conference was something new for our ministry — a vision the Lord placed on Michelle's heart to encourage, equip, and challenge women to answer God's call for them. We were humbled to welcome women who gathered together for worship, biblical teaching, prayer, fellowship, and encouragement.
The weekend began Friday evening with a special dinner for pastors wives, followed by worship and an opening session with Michelle Randall. Saturday featured sessions with Michelle, Inga-Lill Guzik (Calvary Santa Barbara), Sophia Lorey (California Family Council), and Caroline Joyous (TPUSA Faith), along with a special live Q&A with Lila Rose, founder of Live Action.
One of the highlights of the conference was our first-ever Ministry Market, where attendees connected with ministries and organizations serving both locally and around the world. Women had the opportunity to learn about outreach efforts, discover ways to get involved, and hear firsthand how God is working through His people to reach others with the Gospel.
None of this would have been possible without the incredible team of leaders and servants who gave countless hours to make the conference a reality. We are deeply grateful for every volunteer, ministry representative, worship team member, registration team member, hospitality volunteer, setup crew member, media member and servant who faithfully served behind the scenes. Your hard work, flexibility, and joyful hearts helped create a welcoming and Christ-centered experience for every attendee.
Most importantly, we thank the Lord for His faithfulness. We witnessed His hand at work throughout the weekend—in the worship, the teaching, the conversations, the prayers, and the connections made. Our prayer is that every woman left encouraged in her walk with Christ, strengthened by God's Word, and ready to answer His call with confidence and obedience: "Here am I! Send me."

RISE Conference
Awakened + Assigned
There are moments when you can tangibly feel that God is doing something deeper—something lasting. Our RISE Conference was one of those moments.
Women of all ages gathered—mothers and daughters, friends, and first-time guests - several from out of state—with a shared hunger to hear from the Lord. From the very beginning, there was a sense that this weekend would be more than just a conference. It was a call—to awaken, to rise, to shine, and to step into all that God has assigned.
Michelle Randall introduced the conference with a powerful and clear call: this is about waking up, getting up, and stepping up. She set the tone for the entire weekend, reminding us that God is calling us out of passivity and into action—to be alert, responsive, and ready to walk in what He has for us.
On Saturday, Dannah Gresh called women back to the essentials: be in the Word of God and be available to Him. She reminded us that we cannot rise into who God has called us to be if we are not rooted in His Word. In a world filled with confusion, God’s Word is our anchor, our clarity, and our truth. Dannah also spoke about pursuing purity in three areas: doctrinal purity, sexual purity, and purity of heart—a call to live set apart, grounded in truth, and fully surrendered to the Lord.
Jac Marino Chen shared a powerful testimony of being saved out of New Age practices and the occult. With honesty and boldness, she pointed to the freedom found only in Jesus. Her story reminded us that no one is beyond God’s reach, and that He still rescues, restores, and redeems.
Sophia Lorey brought a strong and timely encouragement to stand firm in truth. She spoke about living out our faith with courage in today’s culture and not shrinking back when it comes to what is right. Her message stirred boldness—to stand, to speak, and to live faithfully.
One of the most beautiful things we witnessed was this—generations came. Mothers and daughters sat side by side, worshiped together, and responded to the Lord together. We saw many girls—junior high and high school—come forward to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior, and others rededicate their lives to Him. They were personally prayed for and encouraged by the speakers, creating moments that were deeply personal and lasting. Throughout the weekend, women poured into younger women, and hearts were strengthened together in faith.
More than anything, this weekend was marked by the presence of God.
The message of RISE is something we now carry forward—
to stay in the Word,
to remain available,
to stand in truth,
to walk in courage,
and to GO! Step into what God has assigned to us.
“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” — Isaiah 60:1
The Greatest Gift, Christmas Dinner
This year’s Women’s Christmas Dinner was nothing short of extraordinary — two unforgettable evenings with over 530 women each night, gathered to celebrate The Greatest Gift of all: Jesus Christ.
Our theme verse, John 12:3, set the tone for our hearts as we came together:
“Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.” — John 12:3
Just as Mary poured out her costly offering in worship, we prayed that every detail, every moment, and every act of service would be a sweet fragrance unto Jesus — and He truly filled the house.
A Night Overflowing With Worship and Wonder
The evenings opened with the Calvary Worship Team, who led us in Christ-exalting Christmas worship that lifted our gaze to Him.
Michelle Randall delivered a beautiful, heartfelt message that pointed us back to the simplicity and majesty of Christ’s birth—God’s love poured out, freely and sacrificially, for us.
One of the most cherished highlights was watching Jenna Cushman paint live on stage—a powerful visual reminder of the beauty of Christ’s story, unfolding in real time before our eyes.
A Celebration Made Possible Through Many Hands
This event shone brightly because so many served with the heart of John 12:3—giving generously, joyfully, and sacrificially.
A special thank you to:
• The men who served faithfully both behind the scenes and up front—lifting, carrying, building, directing, parking, and protecting.
• The women who wrapped gifts for every single guest—hundreds of beautifully prepared reminders that they were seen and loved.
• All who helped with set-up, decorating, hosting, tear-down, and clean-up, pouring out their time and creativity to transform the space.
• Bad to the Bone for providing delicious meals that blessed our tables both nights.
Your service was the fragrance that filled the room.
Above All… We Praise God for His Greatest Gift
In a season filled with lights and music and gatherings, nothing compares to the wonder of Christ Himself.
He is the gift.
He is the fragrance.
He is the reason we celebrate.

Refresh Conference 2025
“I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14
We were so blessed by our Annual Refresh Conference earlier this month! The title was Press On, and we learned how to move forward in ministry through discouragement, adversity, opposition, and exhaustion through the study of God’s Word. We are praising God for the work He accomplished at this conference, allowing so many pastor’s wives and women in ministry to walk away feeling equipped, encouraged, and refreshed in their callings. Remember to press on and remain focused on the prize - Jesus!
Thank you to our Speaker and Host, Michelle Randall, joined by Pastors’ Wives Briana Reyes from Calvary Chapel Downey, Kristy Miller of Revival Christian Fellowship, and Bethany MacIntosh of Horizon Christian Fellowship.

Widow’s Fellowship
The Widow’s Fellowship recently gathered for their bi-monthly brunch—a time where widowed women are invited to come together for support, share stories, and heartfelt prayer with others who are walking a similar path. It was a morning marked by warmth, understanding, and quiet strength.
Vicki Krempasky was invited as a guest speaker and shared a devotion that spoke deeply to the hearts of those present. She recounted her own journey through loss and the ways in which she found strength through faith. Her words were gentle, compassionate, and full of encouragement. She reminded the women that even in the darkest seasons, beauty can still be found.
Vicki spoke of flowers that grow in the valley—an image of hope and quiet resilience. Her message was clear: in times of pain, God is present. Healing may take time, but good things will come again.
Even in loss, there is room to grow. The flowers in the valley serve as a reminder that brighter days lie ahead. This gathering was not only a moment of reflection but also a celebration of strength, enduring faith, and growing friendship.
