Our Guest Speaker: Holly Linger
From an early age, Holly had a strong faith and a powerful encounter with God. Throughout the years, many life circumstances would challenge this faith. During her freshman year of high school, an airplane crash caused her family to take in three orphaned children. Family life suddenly changed dramatically. Then in college, Holly met her future husband, Tim – a Protestant.
Leaving the Catholic Church to explore non-denominational fellowship as a newlywed, her faith would be shaken like never before with a complicated pregnancy. Their firstborn son, Jacob, would live only three months. Desperate to baptize him at the news that the doctors couldn’t save his life, Holly began to search for truth about infant baptism. Holly and Tim would lose two more infant children. Through it all, God was slowly revealing the truth of the Catholic Church. He said, “Naked I came forth from my mother’s womb, and naked I shall go back there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord!” Job 1:21
Prayer teams are available following the meal.
Religious books and CD’s may be available at the meal.
Since the day is designed to speak to the hearts of women, free of distractions, it is respectfully requested that young children under the age of 14 not be in attendance.
