Stonecroft Ministries Reaches Roanoke Women

Stonecroft Ministries recently conducted a seminar in Roanoke, entitled “Your 3 Minute Faith Story” at Faith Alliance Church (on Barrens Road).

Local resident Robin Harnist was one of the Outreach Event Speakers. She, along with NE Field Director Anne Schneider, facilitated the Roanoke seminar.  Harnist said, “It is not only possible to share one’s faith story in 3 minutes or less, it is easy and fun and the listener won’t be sorry they asked you the reason for your hope.”

Stonecroft Ministries is a Christian organization with a heart for women to know God and grow in their relationships with Him.  It is a non-denominational, non-profit organization with the vision of providing global leadership in reaching women for Jesus Christ.  Tens of thousands of volunteers and a full-time staff work together to support the organization’s outreach ministries.

Harnist explains, “One of the ways I’m personally involved with Stonecroft is as an Outreach Event Speaker, having spoken from Maine to Texas to over 250 Stonecroft events. I also serve as the Regional Speaker Trainer for Virginia, West Virginia, and Delaware, training Christian women to creatively and competently tell their faith story in 25 minutes.”

Harnist makes it personal: “With two daughters who were at Virginia Tech during the 4/16 shooting, both losing dear friends, and another daughter who was almost abducted from the Wal-mart parking lot 1 month later (http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/127502) there is no doubt in my mind how fragile life can be and how we, as Christians, need to be ready to give a reason for the hope we have. Those events have further increased my passion to see Christians equipped and prepared to share their faith story!”

Stonecroft offers a variety of brunch, luncheon, and dinner events for women and couples. Each event includes an entertaining feature and an inspirational speaker who gives personal insight on coming to know God.  In the Roanoke Valley, volunteers have hosted luncheons under names such as “Christian Women’s Club” and “Roanoke Women’s Connection.”
