Our international women’s conference the "Feast of Esther”, continues to grow in strength and bounds.

This conference is contributing to developing women to be leaders in their communities to the benefit ofthe nation and the church.

Also, our annual Maximum Impact programme 2015 had Pastor J. T. K, (an influential speaker) of RCCGNigeria Ministering. This yearly conference has ensured that our members and the community are taught how tomaximise their potential, having maximum and positive impact on their local communities.

In collaboration with the Waltham Forest Council we have an ongoing Project called “iCAN Project”The aims of the project are:

• To inspire young people who all have the potential to be leaders of tomorrows.• To encourage young people to maximize their potential.• To empower young people living within the community.• To equip young people with life skills and knowledge that will give them the confidence to take action and

make clear and informed decisions about their future.

• To create an opportunity for young people to integrate and interact safely.The iCAN project aims to achieve this by running life skills workshops, enterprise events, career guidanceevents, mentoring sessions and fitness camps for young people aged 13-18. Over the next few months and year the iCAN Project will set out to inspire a generation of young people (mainly within East London)who will stop at nothing to achieve their dream and goals.
