TASMANIAN WOMEN CONNECT
Women Leaders Network Launches
Gather. Grow. Encourage.
On Saturday 18 May, in Launceston, a small group of women gathered to launch the Women Leaders’ network, Tasmania. Visiting from Perth WA, founder Karen Wilson laid out the vision and the exciting developments so far.
The Women Leaders Network provides a platform for women leaders to come together, listen to the voice of God, grow collectively, and encourage one another. When mobilized as a force for good, women bring immense strength, capable of driving transformational change within their local and national communities.
Four years ago, God gave Karen a clear and compelling vision for women in leadership. The vision was of women who are generals, standing alongside one another right around the coasts of every country of the world.
Karen says, “I believe God said that they are waiting for His Spirit to come to their land and are protecting those who are behind them. They are all magnificently tall, strong, brave, and united! Dressed and ready in the full armour of God, ready for what He needs them to do. These women stand together as a global army”. A local artist captured her vision in a beautiful artwork (shown above).
