We had POM speak at out first Women's Conference and were so pleased that we invited them back for our second annual conference. They are very easy to work with and not only do they speak, but they lead awesome worship, if you have this need. They have a lot of good topics to choose from and give break away/discussion questions that really get you into the Word.

"Becky is a gifted teacher, musician, and worship leader. She readily uses those God given gifts to edify the body of Christ. As a Bible teacher, Becky enjoys engaging in the hard work of studying scripture and then relevantly sharing the truth of God's Word in various women's ministry settings. As a worship leader, both personally and on staff at Leptondale Bible Church, she has a remarkable ability to usher others into heartfelt worship through music. Her sharp theological mind, coupled with her musical/vocal talent, enables her to lead worship music that encourages whole hearted singing of songs by which believers reflect God's glory and delight in His presence. Becky is not a ""performer."" She is a highly transparent worship leader. Her music is always Christ centered and her teaching consistently magnifies God.....

It has been my privilege to have known Caren Avery both as a fellow student of the WORD of God, and as an intimate friend for nineteen years. During that time God has grown her skills for leadership in and out of the church, and her organizational skills as a dedicated worship director through her musical talents. But these traits pale in comparison to her greatest gift: to study the WORD, to dig for insights and answers, then to communicate truths to others. Through these years she has chosen not just to study but to apply God's WORD in her own life, remaining steadfast during trials. Her desire has consistently been to develop biblical character. God has used her mightily in my own life not just because she is a trained Christian counselor but because she has the unique ability to be upfront and truthful without antagonizing. I cherish her as a friend who can be trusted to always point my thoughts upward to the LORD....

Becky also coordinates and leads all the music at our women's retreats. The ladies are always so blessed and deeply appreciate her ministry of music. Becky is a wonderful leader and teacher in our Women in the Word Bible Study. She enjoys searching the scripture and letting the Word of God speak to her. She excites others with her enthusiasm for what God has taught her. We have often asked her to speak at our Christmas Programs, our ladies luncheons, and other special events.
