Women “Chosen from the Beginning” strengthen their faith and purpose at the first women’s conference of Mexico’s south district
More than 200 women from the Frailesca Zone in southern Mexico gathered to be affirmed in their identity, heal their self-esteem, and discover God’s eternal purpose for their lives.
On March 14 and 15, 2025, the Las Arboledas Hall in Villaflores, Chiapas, witnessed an unprecedented event. The first women’s conference of the district entitled “Chosen from the Beginning,” was held bringing together over 200 women united by the same longing: to remember and reaffirm that they were designed and chosen by God before birth with a unique and eternal purpose.
This historic conference was led by Pastor Yadira de la Cruz along with a committed team of female volunteers who, grounded in the biblical conviction of God’s divine calling for each woman, created a transformative space that deeply impacted all who attended.
“This conference came at the moment I needed it most. This experience was a great blessing in my life—I was filled with peace and confidence. I learned from other women, and I’m leaving with great joy,” shared Erika de León Morales, one of the participants.
The program included spaces for biblical reflections led by prominent female ministers and pastors such as Sharon Víquez, Danna Leyva, and Karla Gurría. In addition, singer-songwriter Saskia Ramos led worship moments, creating a spiritual atmosphere where many women experienced inner healing, the restoration of their self-esteem, and the renewal of their calling.
“What great joy it brings to see women affirming in their lives the Word of love that God gives them!” said Rosi Mendoza, one of the event’s collaborators.
The response was so meaningful that the district leadership is already dreaming of future conferences. They are convinced that women have specific needs and that by ministering to them intentionally, they can be empowered to live their faith and purpose more fully.
“My experience was wonderful. It was filled with joy and learning through each speaker through whom God gave words that encouraged us to keep moving forward. Sharing this time with God and other women filled me with blessings. He confirmed His love for us,” expressed Selene Montejo.
“Our prayer is that every woman who attends will be affirmed in the Word and continue growing in faith and fellowship with God and with others,” concluded Rosi Mendoza.
This conference marked a turning point in the lives of many women, who returned home with full hearts, renewed faith, and the certainty that they were, are, and always will be chosen from the beginning.
