Thank you to the hundreds of women who joined us on September 30 for our 13th Annual Women’s Prayer Breakfast! It was an amazing and Spirit-filled morning and we were blessed by your presence and by our speaker Renee Bondi who gave a heartwarming testimony of God’s love and grace.

A huge THANK YOU to our generous sponsors and all of our hard-working volunteers. Without you, we would not have been able to bring this beautiful event to so many women.

Remember to ‘MOVE FORWARD WITH COURAGE’!

Renée Bondi

At age 29, Renée Bondi was engaged to be married and had a beautiful singing voice, a thriving career as a music teacher, and a loving family. But then one night a bizarre accident shattered her spine and left her quadriplegic. Her life changed forever. Renée lost not only all use of her hands and legs, but also her singing voice — she could barely speak above a whisper. Unwilling to accept that her life was over, Renée searched her heart and sought the Lord for direction.

Against all odds and all physicians’ prognosis, Renée’s voice was miraculously restored with a crystal clear, angelic sound. Renée harnessed her talents to inspire and give hope to others. Whether performing a powerful concert or sharing her profound and victorious story that includes paralysis and a life confined to a wheelchair, those who hear Renée are uplifted and mesmerized by her voice, music and messages. Most importantly, Renée encourages all to pursue a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Renée has been featured on Life On The Rock EWTN, It’s A Miracle PAX TV, and 700 Club CBN, and featured on the cover of Today’s Christian Woman.

Renée’s Awards include: Unity Award, Inspirational Artist, United Catholic Music & Video Association; Woman of the Year, California State Senate; Gold Medallion nominee for her book  The Last Dance but Not the Last Song; Evangelical Christian Publisher Association & Best Contemporary Acoustic Songwriter, Great American Song Contest.

What a joy it is to encourage my sisters and brothers across the USA! My goal is simple: to direct people to God in a way that will inspire all to persevere in a lifelong, personal journey of faith. What a delight it is to see my new friends embrace the grace of God!
