On Saturday January 31st Fresh Start for Women founder Janice Pettigrew participated in the Brown Chapel Women's Conference entitled, "Who Hears You When You Cry". Invited by Bishop-elect Michael Davis, Mrs. Pettigrew used the opportunity to share her experiences of abuse and domestic violence with the women in attendance. She also used the opportunity to encourage the women to not be defined by their circumstances and to continue to trust in God and know without a doubt that there are better things ahead in their lives.
The conference used Proverbs 31 of the virtuous woman as the backdrop for this conference. Keeping with this theme Mrs. Pettigrew also invited the women to participate in the affirmation circle. A key component in all the Fresh Start for Women conferences, workshops and/or retreats.
Bishop-elect Davis assured the women that he would do all within his power to bring to them resources needed to deal with any and all issues they may be facing. Mrs. Pettigrew was invited to return at a later date to conduct any one of the Fresh Start for Women conferences that have been widely accepted at the Last Day Outreach Ministry in Covington, GA.
