Illuminate 2023
Causeway Coast Vineyard Women’s Conference
‘In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.’
John 1:4-5 NIV
Jesus is ‘the light of the world’, He cannot be overcome.
And this light was never meant to remain with only us. In Him we become light-carriers, radiating His hope, life, joy and freedom to every person, in every place, through every circumstance.
Gather with us as we worship together, encounter Him and build our faith to become light-carriers in dark places.
This Illuminate we want to celebrate together who Jesus is.
The light that shines in the darkness.
The One who cannot be overcome.
The light of the world.
