Smoky Mountain Women's Retreat
Date: May 21-22, 2010
| Main Speaker: Ellie Lofaro |

Her message is a wonderful blend of plainspoken truth, common sense practicality and disarming humor. Drawing from the context of real life, she deftly handles the Word of God and steadily directs her audiences to consider what concerns them in light of God's timeless truths. With her trademark quick wit and convincing demeanor, she pairs biblical principles with life's deeper questions. The result? An audience who willingly joins Ellie in the journey toward better understanding and applying God's grace and truth to their lives.
A serious student of Scripture and a keen observer of the culture, Ellie has developed a unique teaching style that touches the heart, stimulates the mind, and nourishes the soul.
She has been blessed with a broad array of opportunities to communicate her passion for Christ. Ellie's ministry involves nationwide speaking engagements, writing books, teaching a weekly interdenominational Bible Study, contributing a monthly newspaper column and appearing on radio and television, including Focus on the Family, Life Today, The Harvest Show, and The 700 Club.
Ellie has co-authored Spaghetti for the Soul, A Celebration of the Abundant Life, with Kathy Troccoli; From Battle Scars to Beauty Marks, Portraits of Women Who Turned Trials to Triumphs; Leap of Faith, endorsed by Chuck Colson and Dee Brestin; and Bonding with the Blonde Women and Slices of Life. Ellie has also written for Today's Christian Woman, Women of Faith's Connection Magazine, Crosswalk.com and has contributed to compilations from seven publishing houses. |
