WATERLOO, ON–More than 1,600 people gathered in early May from across Canada and the United States, as far away as Texas, to celebrate 25 years of God’s faithfulness in the ministry of Women Alive. The theme for the three-day event was "Celebrating the Past ... Anticipating the Future." The convention is held each spring at the University of Waterloo.
Women Alive was founded in 1973 by Nell Maxwell, who felt God’s call on her life to begin an organization to reach women in Canada. The interdenominational ministry has grown nationally and in February the first conference ever was held in the United States, in Lockport, New York.
The keynote speakers to mark the special anniversary were Helen Roseveare and Anne Graham Lotz.
