Join us as we launch our second year of the Abide Presence Academy Online, a school of the heart drawing us deep into intimacy with the Lord, filling us to overflowing, and sending us out with the fire of His love to go wherever He leads with passion and compassion—whether to our neighbors or the nations. Our team of anointed, dynamic speakers will Zoom in and pour out their heart message. You’ll be ignited and commissioned each week to “go” as love leaders and presence carriers..

I’m so excited to open this course to everyone and to partake of what the Lord is releasing in this season. Get ready to receive.

Each session will begin at 10:30 AM EST with a time of worship, prayer and encouragement with host Joan Hutter, founding director of Women Abide and the Presence Academy. There will be a time of prayer and impartation in the beginning and the end of each session.

Can’t make the morning session? Sign up and tune in later.

This offer of love to people grew beyond a simple meal – into a home and refuge for youth and young adults. This act of kindness grew over the years to become what we know today as Family Home. Raising up a group of young adults to transform the nations – it didn’t end there. While all this was happening, God opened the doors for a prophetic movement that grew to include Family Church. As the years continued, God began to open the doors to travel and connect with ministries all over the world.
