OUR MISSION
The Woman After God’s Own Heart conference, created by gospel music artist, Lynda Randle, is a two day, annual conference event for women of all ages, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds and upbringings. The vision for the Woman After God’s Own Heart conference (WAGOH for short), was birthed in Lynda’s heart and spirit in 2002 and the Lord allowed it to come to fruition in 2008, with its initial launch taking place in her hometown of Kansas City Missouri. Through a combination of music, dance, motivational speakers, prayer, and humor, this conference has uplifted women around the country and internationally, and we are so very excited for what God is doing with this ministry.
God is calling this conference to be a conference for the churched and unchurched alike; the visibly flawed and broken. A place where women from all walks of life feel welcomed, embraced and loved by God and by each other. A place where they can not only find community together as women, but can also engage in their physical community and give back to the places in which they live, work and call home.
This is done, in part, by reaching out to substance abuse recovery shelters, teen pregnancy facilities and homeless shelters in our community and partnering with them, with the intention of providing not only financial support, but offering an invitation for their women to attend the conference, as well as a platform to the organizations by donating event space, distribution of materials and a presentation opportunity. We want anyone who is in need of resources to leave the conference with not only spiritual knowledge, but with information on where they can go to receive physical and social tools to help them become better mothers, daughters, wives, sisters and members of their communities.
We also provide a way for individuals and churches to join in supporting the conference, by encouraging them to Pay It Forward by either purchasing an additional ticket or tickets, and donating them to back to WAGOH, and we then gift them to individuals who may not be able to afford the conference on their own.
It is Lynda’s deepest desire to help set her city, and the communities of each woman represented there at the conference on fire for the Lord, and we know and believe that God is and will continue to fulfill that vision—one Woman After God’s Own Heart at a time.
