A kickoff rally with 400-500 women attendees is Thursday 6:30 – 8 p.m. at Fairview Baptist Church. Betsy Langmade of LifeWay will be the keynote speaker.
The rally is attracting women from the Carolinas, Georgia and California, according to the organizers.
Living Proof Live is July 10-11 at the Bon Secours Wellness Center.
Diane Wilson, a Living Proof coordinator, invited Shelley Kauffman of Freedom Fellowship to be the city coordinator for 2015 and beyond. Kauffman has attended 7-9 events and has taught Moore’s studies for years.
A training seminar in Nashville focused on setting a core group to bring the ministry to the upstate and how to continue it after July’s event. More than 4,000 of the 10,000 tickets have been sold.
Diane Wilson, Tricia Johnson, Lisa Renee Hill, Sandy MacMillan, Dawn Leopard, Rita Breece, Brenda Blankenship and Wanda Davis from communities of Greer, Blue Ridge, Travelers Rest and Spartanburg have been the core organizers.
