Women Abide Spring Conference 2025
The FIRE of HIS LOVE

Women Abide Spring Conference
With Heidi Baker and More!

March 27-29
@Harvest Church
Charlottesville, Va 

Conference speakers:

Heidi Baker
Co-Founder of Iris Global

Dr. Heidi Baker founded Iris Global with her husband, Rolland. Together they live in Northern Mozambique. They served as missionaries in Indonesia, Hong Kong, and the streets of London before following God’s calling in 1995 to Mozambique.

Having faced overwhelming need, the Bakers watch God
provide miraculously for thousands of children and Internally Displaced Persons. Heidi is called “Mama Heidi” to countless children and oversees a broad holistic ministry that includes Bible schools, medical clinics, church-based homes and care for abandoned children,
well drilling, primary schools, evangelistic and healing
outreaches in remote villages and a network of thousands of churches. She and the Iris team are building Iris University. She has BA, MA and PhD degrees and travels the world as a conference speaker. Heidi is the author of God’s Got This, Compelled by Love, Birthing the Miraculous, and coauthor with her husband of Always Enough and Expecting Miracles.

We are deeply grateful to have Mama Heidi fly in from Africa to minister at this conference. We have had the honor to take multiple teams to Mozambique, even as war escalated.

Kate Smith
Co-President of Catch The Fire World

Kate is a revivalist who carries the fire of God's love and power all over the world. Together with her husband Duncan, they are the Presidents of Catch The Fire World, a global movement of supernatural churches, missions and ministries, birthed in the Toronto Revival. They are also the Senior Leaders of Catch The Fire Church in Raleigh-Durham North Carolina, a vibrant, growing
church full of the love and presence of God. Kate has a passion to plant and cultivate supernatural churches, ministries and missions in multiple expressions and multiple generations, as well as a desire to see women find their voice and place of influence in the Kingdom.

Wherever she and Duncan go, the Holy Spirit does extraordinary miracles, as the love of the
Father and the grace of Jesus are poured out to the world.

Jess Ninaber
Catch The Fire

For over 12 years, Jess Ninaber and her husband have served in full-time pastoral ministry at Catch The Fire, first as youth and worship pastors and now, as Lead Pastors in Raleigh, NC. Their hearts have a passionate focus on the presence of God and seeing people encounter His transforming presence. Jess attended the Harvest School with Iris Global, where she was burdened for the mission field before attending the University of North Carolina. It was here that God called her into “the mission field of the West” and gave her a heart for the local church and the lost right there in her city. 

With conviction to share the Gospel and the Kingdom of God, they have laid down their lives to pastoring and discipling a generation of people on fire for God. Aaron and Jess are happily married with four children, Jude, Zoe, Selah, and Valor.

Julie Meyer
Santa Maria Healing Rooms

Julie Meyer is a gifted worship leader and award-winning songwriter ordained by and serving on staff at the Santa Maria Healing Rooms. A popular and compelling conference speaker and singer, she also hosts her own Into the River online program. Julie Meyer Ministries exists to equip the Church to live vibrant spiritual lives filled with praise, worship, and music. She attended Kansas State University and studied music. Author of two books and many CDs, she travels internationally, ministering at churches and conferences, leading worship and sharing on Revival and God’s Heart for raising up prayer and worship. Her Christmas CD was nominated for a Dove Award in 2014.

Amy Lancaster
We Will Go Ministries

David and Amy Lancaster are founders and pastors of We Will Go Ministries in downtown Jackson. They have a burning desire for ALL to come to know the Lord Jesus as their Savior, Healer, and Deliverer. They have three blessed children, Jonathan, Olivia, Sarah, a lovely daughter-in-law Frances, and amazing son-in-law Colton, and three grandchildren.

They live in downtown Jackson in the Farish District in obedience to the Lord’s call to be Christ in our Jerusalem daily. They are blessed to be the Lord’s caretakers of We Will Go Ministries, a ministry that trains disciples, shares God’s Truth in His love daily, ministers to and feeds the poor and needy, educates children, and takes teams around the globe to share the Truth of the Gospel so that ALL may know Him and the power of His resurrection!

Joan Hutter, Host and Speaker
Founder of Women Abide and the Presence Academy

Abiding in Jesus, Joan Hutter launched Women Abide in 2012 and the Presence Academy online mentorship in 2020. She is on fire for Jesus and lives to pour everything at His feet, to see Him exalted. She joyfully directs Women Abide, equipping, discipling and calling women deeper through presence, worship, prayer, Bible studies, conferences, retreats, intensives, weekly gatherings, and life-changing mission trips. She loves to ignite, inspire, and spur on other gatherings, raising up love leaders of all ages. She longs to see women grow in intimacy and arise and step into the fullness of the Lord and their calling in Him. She loves seeing Jesus set His glorious seal on the hearts of young people—and all ages. This ministry is about releasing oil and the fire of His love to see hearts burning for Jesus.

Married 33 years, Joan and husband Chauncey live in Charlottesville, Va; they have five amazing young adult children (a daughter, three sons, and a daughter-in-love) and a precious little granddaughter. Alleluia
