An Evening of Real Stories, Hope, and Connection

We believe stories have power. When women share how they’ve navigated hardship, found strength, and discovered deeper hope, it reminds all of us that we’re not alone.

For many of the women sharing, their faith has played an important role in their journey — and they’ll share that part of their story authentically and honestly.

Meet Wendy Palau

Wendy Palau shoulders a burden for the brokenhearted, born out of her own experience of loneliness, pain, and loss. While raised in a loving home on the island of Jamaica, her heart sought fulfillment and peace in all the wrong places.

At 25 years of age, God radically changed her life, and she found the true joy she had been longing for. She and her husband, Andrew, have since dedicated their lives to sharing this message of hope with the world.

Meet Rachael Lampa

Rachael Lampa first entered Christian music as a teenager with her chart-topping debut and powerhouse voice. After a break to help start a Nashville nonprofit serving people experiencing homelessness, she returned with a renewed passion for writing about identity, worth, and God’s love.

Her recent songs—including the hit “Perfectly Loved” and the personal anthem “Superpowers”—reflect that journey. Today, Rachael continues to use her music to lift up others and point them to the heart of God.

  • Women across Tucson, from different churches, have been dreaming together in partnership with an organization called Palau. Wendy Palau travels the globe to let women everywhere know that God loves them, sees their pain, and gave His son to offer hope. Click here to learn more about Palau.

  • The hope of Jesus is for all women! There are many women who’ve never had an opportunity to know this hope—so this event is for them! But, it’s up to those of us who know Him to invite them. It’s the greatest gift we can offer.

  • God uses stories to meet us where we are. His beauty is made real to the world by how He shows up in our lives. For this reason, we believe that sharing our real stories of hope in Jesus is one of the most powerful and generous ways to share God’s love with women.
