War Room - Flourish Woman’s Weekend, Amport House, March 2017
"Those that serve in the military will tell you no battle plan is made without a strategy and WE too need to be drawing up our fighting tactics if we're going to push back our enemy. This Flourish weekend will be a creative look at getting properly equipped to enter the war zone and to go deeper in prayer so that the enemy is scattered. It'll be a mix of teaching and practical sessions with an expectation of leaving fully armed!" -Sian Campbell-Colquhoun
