Empowering Women of Faith Through Stories, Connection, and Growth
The Echoes of Hope Women's Conference is a beacon for women seeking inspiration, strength, and a renewed sense of purpose anchored in faith in Jesus Christ. Our vision is to share the Gospel and ignite hope through authentic, faith-filled stories and create a sacred space where women can be transformed by the power of Christ-centered fellowship. This conference is more than a gathering; it is a movement designed to empower, uplift, and unite women on their journeys of faith, healing, and personal growth.
At the heart of Echoes of Hope are the voices of women whose lives have been touched, challenged, and ultimately renewed by faith in Jesus Christ and the Gospel. The conference spotlights testimonies of resilience—stories of overcoming adversity, battling doubt, and emerging with stronger trust in God. These narratives serve as living evidence of hope, inspiring attendees to embrace their unique journeys and believe in the possibility of transformation through Christ.
The Echoes of Hope experience is enriched by the connections forged among women from diverse backgrounds, walks of life, churches, and ministries. Through guided discussions, small group sessions, and collaborative activities, participants discover the healing power of God’s Word and Character, as well as shared experiences. By opening their hearts and listening to one another, attendees realize they are not alone in their struggles or triumphs. These meaningful bonds create a network of mutual support that endures long after the conference concludes.
True empowerment flourishes in community. Echoes of Hope is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where women of faith can find encouragement, mentorship, and collective strength. The conference provides practical tools and ongoing resources to help participants cultivate supportive networks within their churches, families, and communities. By nurturing these connections, we collectively amplify the voices of hope and extend Christ’s love beyond the conference walls.
The impact of Echoes of Hope is best reflected in the transformed lives of its participants. Women leave the conference with renewed faith, a clearer sense of purpose, and practical strategies for personal and spiritual growth. Many share testimonies of overcoming personal challenges, breaking cycles of discouragement, and experiencing healing in mind, body, and spirit. Through Christ-centered workshops and prayer, each woman is equipped to embrace her God-given identity and pursue lasting growth.
We invite you—our sponsors, faith leaders, and women of all backgrounds—to join us in this extraordinary journey. Your support and participation are vital to the success and reach of the Echoes of Hope Women's Conference. By investing in this initiative, you help build a legacy of faith, healing, and empowerment for current and future generations.

Together, let us echo hope, nurture courage, and inspire women to live out their faith with boldness and joy. Join us in shaping a future where every woman knows she is seen, valued, and empowered through Christ.

Are you ready to move beyond wishful thinking and finally turn your dreams into tangible achievements? At STBE, we believe that your aspirations are more than just desires—they are seeds of potential, planted by God, waiting to flourish. Our mission is to help you nurture those seeds into a fruitful harvest by combining practical goal-setting strategies with the transformative power of faith.
Drawing inspiration from Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for, and assurance about what we do not see,” our approach centers on the conviction that faith is not passive. True faith requires action—stepping forward with trust in God’s plan for your life, even when the path is unclear. We help you build confidence, hope, and assurance that, as you align your steps with God’s will, you are moving toward His perfect plan for you.
We understand that achieving your goals can feel overwhelming, especially when life gets complicated. That’s why STBE offers a supportive environment where you can break down your ambitions into clear, actionable steps. Our program, guided by Jacqueline’s expertise and rooted in biblical wisdom, equips you to:
· Define specific, measurable, and attainable goals tailored to your personal calling
· Create practical action plans with realistic timelines
· Identify and overcome obstacles through strategic problem-solving and prayer
· Track your progress and celebrate both small milestones and major breakthroughs
Imagine not just saying you want to write a book, pursue a new career, strengthen your relationships, or grow in faith—but actually creating a roadmap, being held accountable, and witnessing real progress every week. At STBE, we journey alongside you, providing encouragement, accountability, and a sense of community rooted in God’s Word.
· Biblical Guidance: Every step of your journey is infused with scriptural principles that remind you of God’s promises and faithfulness.
· Personalized Coaching: Jacqueline tailors each session to your unique story, challenges, and ambitions.
· Celebration and Support: We rejoice in your victories—big and small—because your success matters to us and to God.
· Community: Join a group of like-minded individuals who are also striving toward purpose-driven lives.
Transformation doesn’t happen overnight, but with faith in action and a realistic, step-by-step approach, you can see real change. Whether you want to improve your spiritual walk, achieve a professional milestone, or restore balance in your personal life, STBE is here to help you bridge the gap between where you are now and where God is calling you to be.

A Vision Rooted in Faith
Inspired Commitment to God’s Promises and People
With unwavering conviction, I stand firm in the assurance of God’s Glory, His Ultimate Will, and His promises—each one a beacon of hope, a guiding star illuminating my path. God’s Word is not merely a book of teachings, but a living, breathing testament of Salvation through Jesus Christ, shaping my character and directing my every step. It is the foundation upon which I build my life, the source of wisdom, comfort, and strength.
My heart is filled with a burning passion and a clear mission: to share the transformative message of the Gospel with all who are open and willing to receive its truth. I envision an organization where compassion and care intertwine seamlessly with an earnest desire for every soul’s salvation. Here, the well-being of people is cherished, not only in body and mind, but in spirit—nurturing their journey toward eternal purpose.
This organization is more than just a gathering place; it is a vibrant community that cultivates unity and nurtures the bonds that draw us closer to one another and, primarily, to God. We celebrate faith, instill confidence, kindle hope, and impart the assurance found in Christ Jesus. It is a place for opportunity where every individual is encouraged to pursue growth and maturity, discovering deeper intimacy with Christ along the way.
Above all, I see God glorifying His holy name—His love radiating through every act, every word, and every life touched. Our purpose is to reflect His light, to be instruments of His grace, and to magnify His glory in everything we do. Through us, may His promises be proclaimed, His Word be lived, and His name be exalted forevermore. AMEN!

Gloria's Grace — Triumph Over Adversity

Gloria's Grace — Triumph Over Adversity
Scripture Foundation: Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
The story of Gloria's Grace: Triumph Over Adversity is a powerful testament to God's faithfulness and the truth of His promises. Gloria's journey reveals that even when life feels broken beyond repair, God's plans are still at work—shaping beauty from ashes and purpose from pain.
Through seasons of heartbreak, single motherhood, and spiritual warfare, Gloria discovered that God's promises are not voided by adversity—they are fulfilled through it. In her waiting, God was working. In her tears, He was preparing restoration.
That restoration came full circle when God led her to her husband, Reverend Thomas, a divine connection that reflected the love and redemption she had long prayed for. As a mother, Gloria also experienced healing and renewal—learning to lead her son through grace, faith, and strength, becoming a living example of God's nurturing power.
Now on a healing mission, Gloria's life and her book serve as a beacon of hope to others. She boldly declares that God still restores, delivers, and fulfills every promise in His perfect timing. Her story is one of transformation—from adversity to anointing, from pain to purpose, from brokenness to Gloria's Grace.
Tell Gloria you heard about her through us and help us grow!

This section will help you find answers to common questions and understand our Policies, Agreements, and Bylaws, and how your contributions help STBE's Vision and Mission come true.
All donations given to STBE Ministry are recycled back into the community. How? Your donations help us fund the programs offered at STBE, including retreats, workshops, conferences, and biblical counseling. When you donate, not only do you contribute to the materials we need to provide the programs, but your donation also makes it possible for participants who can't afford these programs to access them free of charge. One way to observe the impact of your donations is by becoming a Class Member, which automatically grants donors access to information about our activities at STBE and how their contributions benefit the community.
No refunds are available at STBE Corp. All products, sales, and service fees or prices are final. Donations, purchases, or participation in any of our areas of service means you have understood this policy.
The answer is simple. Here at STBE, we promote integrity and transparency. As a new organization, we aim to provide our staff, volunteers, and visitors with a clear understanding of how this organization operates. These policies, agreements, and bylaws are subject to change at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
To empower the community with Christ-centered support, STBE recognizes the importance of unity and advocacy among the Christian community. Our unity and advocacy derive from the biblical principles found in John 13:34-35, which tells us that others will know we are of Christ when we love one another. 1 John 4:7 teaches us that we must love one another because love is from God and those who love are born of God. 1 Peter 4:8 encourages us to love one another because love covers a multitude of sins. Galatians 6:2 instructs believers to bear one another's burdens. Hebrews 10:24-25 It enables us to consider how to stir up one another to love, to do good works, and not to neglect meeting together. Other biblical principles that set the foundation for STBE's Information Network are the principles of unity and teaching. We are to avoid selfish motives, or seeking our own gain, Philippians 2:3-4, 1 Corinthians 10:24, James 3:16, Psalm 119:36, Proverbs 11:25, Mark 8:36, and 1 Timothy 6:10. Each of these is not just a foundation here at STBE Information Network; we understand the importance of each principle and aim to put them into practice unapologetically. We believe and understand that unity helps the body of Christ stay healthy and strong. It is always our hope that we will find Churches, services, and programs that share the same principles, and that is the information we will share.

Seeing Through Blind Eyes Corp
Policy
Adopted: 06/01//2025
The following policy presented here pertains to Seeing Through Blind Eyes Corp employees, volunteers, and participants.
Introduction
Seeing Through Blind Eyes Corp (STBE) is a Non-Profit Organization. As a Christian Organization, our first vision and mission are to share the Gospel. Second, this Organization is a service provider. We empower communities with Christ-centered support. We offer a range of support programs, including mentorship, biblical counseling, life coaching, retreats, support groups, and conferences.
Additionally, we maintain a "toolbox" of networks. These network connections are understood to be Christ-centered and community-driven, ensuring that our participants benefit from available programs and support. These networks comprise other organizations that offer a range of services promoting spiritual, mental, and physical well-being.
Our foundational biblical text is Hebrews 11, which is often referred to as "Faith in Action." We believe God's perfect will is the answer to all of our questions. Faith in Action encompasses biblical foundations, values, and principles that promote worship of God, as well as spiritual, mental, and physical wellness. Our call is to stand in the gap between the centralized Church and the broader public. We understand that Jesus clearly explained in Matthew 22:37-40, Mark 12:28-34, and Luke 10:25-28 that the fulfillment of the law depends on these two most important commandments: to love God with all our mind, heart, soul, and strength, and to love others as ourselves. Because we love God first, we now have the second commandment at hand, and Seeing Through Blikd Eyes Corp is dedicated to promoting these crucial commandments by loving all people within our communities.
We understand that the task is not easy, but we are determined to be a vessel of biblical truth and love, as God calls us. Within our vision and mission, we see many people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and social statuses come to Christ, accepting Him as Lord and Savior, and embarking on a journey of Faith in Action for God's glory. Seeing Through Blind Eyes means seeing through the cross of Christ, and seeing through His eyes. Therefore, our purpose and commitment are to love God and love the community.
