IGNITE 2026 is an apostolic activation—3 days of power, presence, and prophetic fire that commissions you to move in real Kingdom authority.
IGNITE 2026 is not your “come, sit, and clap politely” type of gathering. This is three days of spiritual combustionengineered to wake up the warriors, shake off the sleepy, and activate the called into real Kingdom assignment.
We’re pulling on heaven for apostolic power, prophetic fire, and undeniable God-moments that mark you for what you were born to do. Expect worship that cuts through the noise, teaching with weight and authority, and encounters that don’t just make you feel something — they commission you to become something.
This is for the ones who know they’re called to more than church attendance. It’s for the remnant, the disruptors, the bold ones who can sense God shifting His people from spectators to sent ones. If you come, come ready — because IGNITE doesn’t end when the weekend ends. It launches you.
Three days. One assignment:
Awaken. Align. Activate.

For the woman who has carried so much for so long—it's time to be poured into. Realign. Reposition. Reset. Rise. Let's elevate with purpose.
The past two years have been heavy, it's been weighty. So many women have been surviving but not flowing like we know we could.
The Heart of A Woman RISE Conference was created for the woman who is ready to grow in confidence, embrace her total being, and come home to herself in a deeper way. This experience is about helping & supporting women recognize the fullness of who they are — gifted, talented, intelligent, beautiful from the inside out, and created with purpose, vision, strength, and influence.
We believe that when women are nurtured, they nurture the world. When a woman is poured into, strengthened, and reminded of her worth, she does not rise alone — she carries healing, wisdom, creativity, and possibility back into her family, her business, her community, and every room she enters.
This is for the woman who has spent years pouring into everyone else and now needs a space where she can be poured into with intention. It is for the woman who has had to hold her head up after being denied, overlooked, misunderstood, judged, betrayed, dismissed, or pushed aside — yet still carries dignity, purpose, and a desire to keep going.
Heart of A Woman is more than a conference name; it is a calling to create a safe, viable, and life-giving community where women can be seen, heard, strengthened, and supported. It is a place for the woman who is looking for people who will hold up her arms so she can finish her race with grace, strength, clarity, and dignity.
This is where confidence is restored. This is where wholeness is honored. This is where strength is renewed. This is where community holds you up. This is where women rise.
Why You Don’t Want to Miss This
Because this is more than another conference. This is a gathering for women who are ready to stop carrying everything alone. It is a space for transformation, elevation, empathy, collaboration, community, and strength — a space where women can come as they are, gain what they need, and leave with the clarity, courage, and strategy to move forward.
If you have ever said, “I should have been there,” this is your moment to say, “I’m not missing this one.”

The Honorary Consulate of Lebanon in North Carolina represents over a century of Lebanese heritage and cultural contribution to the state. Since Lebanese immigrants began arriving in North Carolina in the late 1800s, they have enriched the community through their traditions, arts, cuisine, and active participation in business, education, religious institutions, and philanthropic endeavors. The consulate, now based in Durham, NC, stands as a testament to this enduring legacy and the community's deep roots in the state.
Recognizing the growing needs of the Lebanese community, residents petitioned the Lebanese government in the 1950s to establish a consulate in North Carolina. In July 1956, an official decree established the Honorary Consulate in Goldsboro, then a major hub for Lebanese activity. As the community evolved and shifted toward the Research Triangle area, the consulate relocated to Durham to better serve residents across the state.
Today, the Honorary Consulate serves as a bridge between North Carolina's Lebanese community and their homeland, facilitating important governmental matters including documentation, vital records, and official communications. Under the stewardship of Dr. Moise A. Khayrallah, an immigrant who came to North Carolina in 1983 and became a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist, the consulate continues its mission of supporting the community's connection to Lebanon.
The consulate in Durham embodies the values of cultural preservation, community service, and mutual support that have defined the Lebanese presence in North Carolina for generations. By providing governmental services and maintaining cultural connections, the Honorary Consulate helps sustain the vibrant Lebanese-American community throughout the state while honoring the contributions immigrants have made to North Carolina's growth and prosperity.
Representing the Government of Mexico in Raleigh, North Carolina, the Consulate General of Mexico serves as a dedicated resource for the Mexican community and those seeking to strengthen connections with Mexico. With jurisdiction extending across both North Carolina and South Carolina, this consulate plays a crucial role in supporting Mexican nationals and fostering cultural understanding in the region. The mission operates with a commitment to providing accessible and responsive service to the communities it represents, recognizing the importance of maintaining strong ties between Mexico and the residents of the Carolinas. The consulate understands the unique needs of the Mexican community in Raleigh and throughout its service area, offering guidance and assistance on matters ranging from personal documentation to official governmental affairs. By maintaining a physical presence in Raleigh, NC, the consulate demonstrates Mexico's dedication to the people and organizations in North Carolina and South Carolina who depend on reliable consular support. The office serves as more than a governmental institution—it functions as a community anchor, facilitating connections between Mexican citizens abroad and their homeland. Whether serving long-time residents or newcomers to the region, the Consulate General of Mexico in Raleigh remains committed to supporting the diverse needs of the Mexican community across the Carolinas while promoting mutual understanding and cooperation.
Serving Raleigh, North Carolina and the surrounding region, the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Poland represents the Polish government's commitment to nurturing relationships with Polish Americans and strengthening cultural ties. This diplomatic office exists to protect the rights and interests of Polish citizens while fostering the bonds that connect Poland's heritage with its diaspora in the United States. The consulate's mission extends beyond traditional diplomatic functions to encompass a broader vision of cultural and economic exchange. By promoting Polish science, culture, and language, the consulate helps preserve and celebrate Polish heritage within the Raleigh community while creating opportunities for mutual understanding between nations. The office provides essential consular assistance to Polish citizens in need, ensuring their rights are upheld and their voices are heard. Additionally, the consulate works tirelessly to foster the development of friendly relations and cooperation between Poland and the U.S., recognizing that strong people-to-people connections form the foundation of lasting international partnerships. For Polish Americans in Raleigh, NC, and throughout North Carolina, the Honorary Consulate serves as a vital link to their ancestral homeland, offering support, cultural programming, and a tangible presence of Poland in their community.
