I feel like I am a slave. A slave to all my work. A slave to others and their choices. A slave to my own emotions. A slave to time, week by week, time goes flying by but after all those days and nights... I still don't know what I should find my contentment and happiness in. I still don't know how to make my decisions. I still have my devotion spread thin in all directions.
So many things to decide. A woman's life can be so hard. When I sit, it only comforts my feet. I don't feel rested. When I lie down, my body feels better. I don't know if this is rest. When I lean on someone's shoulder or hold someone's hand, it is warm on my skin but it doesn't answer my questions. How shall I decide the many things I must face? What perspective should I take of my short life here on earth? Why should I devote all my time and energy to what I do?

Devoted is specifically designed to cater to the growth and fellowship of women. Hence, the conference intends to create a comfortable and focused environment exclusively for women. Although, on occasion, you might see a few men helping with our conference operations behind the scenes, the sessions and activities are for women only.
Besides that, we encourage men to seize the opportunity to serve their wives (in serving Jesus too!) by taking care of the household and spending quality dad time with the little ones at home so that mommy can spend some time away, being enlightened by the scriptures to be a better mom/wife for the family.
If necessary, men can bring the children to the conference, where we will have crèche facilities. Do take note that there will be a fee for the food and accommodation of husbands / men joining the conference for childcare purposes (2D1N = RM235).
