2018
The Inaugural 2018 Feast was held on the 17th May 2018 at the Crown Towers, Melbourne Australia, hosted by Convener Pst Mrs Folu Adeboye. The event Theme was Revisiting leadership; we were encouraged to be true to ourselves. As leaders are to serve, Jesus washed the feet of the disciples for us to follow- John 13:12-17, it was also affirmed that we are to lead ourselves before we can lead others. Self-discipleship by ensuring we do what we preach and follow what God says. Leadership is a risk- Proverbs 24:6b. God has chosen us does not mean that we are perfect. We must know our ability and not lose our eagerness to learn and grow. The event was attended by over 55 women leaders from across 40 ministries.

It was evident that God’s refreshing Spirit us upon us.
