“RELEASING ME FROM MYSELF”
The past couple of years have been stressful and challenging for our nation on various levels. As you know, many of us struggle with the cares of life in one form or another and are carrying around an unbearable weight.
Emotional baggage, sometimes used to describe the fact of carrying past trauma or so-called negative experiences through life, relationships, or a career may prevent one from moving forward in life.
​
Everyone carries unprocessed emotions from experiences to some degree. However, emotions that aren’t dealt with don’t just go away. Emotional pain is difficult for many people to reduce or turn off – it takes a tremendous amount of effort, resources, and energy.
The Unleashing #ISurrenderAll Women's Conference is a powerful event designed to help women with the transformational process of releasing and surrendering whatever blocks their fullest expression of love, life, and power while they build healthy boundaries. This year's conference will revolve around the "Releasing Me from Myself” theme and includes tips and tools on how to let go of unresolved emotional baggage, how to release emotions through prayer, and how to maintain a healthy emotional state despite unpleasant circumstances while taking them into a place of compassion.
We'll See You At:

Master Class Catalysts
Pastor TaWanda Moore
“Dressing for the healing occasion”
Pastor Moore is a native of Eastern NC, a good ole country girl to say the least. Working in tobacco fields every summer is what taught her strong work ethics. As mother, wife and new grandmother, Moore has always known that she was special. Not knowing exactly in what way, she always trusted and believed in a God that her grandmother and mother always spoke of. God used academic teachers to begin prepping Moore out of a quiet place, so that in her thirties she would recognize the essence of her true gift, which was that GREAT CALL from God.
​
The quiet and shy Moore, (as she still holds true to) is now Pastor, Mayor, Business Owner, confidant, and friend.
Her favorite scripture is (Proverbs 3:5-6) 5 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Pastor Moore made history in the town of Elm City, NC by have been elected the first Black woman mayor.
She loves God, people, children, teaching God’s word, and biblical principles.

As a widow of 25 years, God has blessed her to minister to His people through preaching and teaching. Her favorite scripture is Psalm 34:1 “I will bless the Lord at all times His praises will continually be in my mouth.”
She tries to live by a quote her fifth-grade teacher taught her, “Good, Better, Best, never let it rest; until the good is better and the better is best.” Most of all, Evangelist Fancher believes if she can help somebody along the way, then her living shall not be in vain.

As the Lord prepped and began to intensify in her heart and drew her into ministry, she accepted the call and the desire for the Lord began to increase more and more. Crying out for years in her prayer room about concerns of the church, his sheep as a whole and concerns of the faith, God spoke and said, “I will use you to be an answer to your cry” He asked her to Pastor His sheep.
