It is with immense joy and heartfelt gratitude that I stand before you today to welcome you to this remarkable occasion—the 1st Annual Shepherdess Conference and Graduation Ceremony of the Shepherdess School of Ministry (SSM).

A Celebration of Purpose and Fulfilment

Today, we gather to celebrate purpose, growth, and the fulfilment of vision. The Shepherdess School of Ministry was birthed from a deep desire to empower, equip, and mentor women in ministry, enabling them to discover their divine calling, sharpen their leadership skills, and walk confidently in their God-given assignments.

Through structured teachings, mentorship programs, and hands-on training, we have nurtured a generation of resilient female ministers—women who will not only excel in ministry but also make a lasting impact in every sphere of life.

Shepherdess Global Network is more than a network — it packaged transformational experiences for our students, alumni and partners. 

The sessions ahead are designed to inspire, challenge, and reignite the fire within us as we continue our journey in ministry.
