What do derby pie, homemade butter mints, blue flower iced cookies, and a next-level coffee bar have in common? All gave us a taste of the sweetness of Heaven on our second Hope of Heaven Tour.
Last weekend, we gathered in four beautiful cities—Laurel, Mississippi; Huntsville, Alabama; Joelton, Tennessee; and Louisville, Kentucky—and in each place, God met us in such personal and powerful ways.
I had the joy of teaching on what it means to live with an eternal perspective, remembering that earth is short and Heaven is long. That truth changes everything, my friend! It steadies us. It lifts our eyes.
The amazing (and ageless) women of Point of Grace led us in worship, and I am telling you, they brought Heaven down. When they sang their newest song, “The Night Will Be No More,” there was not a dry eye in the room.
It was more than a song—it was a glimpse, a reminder of what Scripture points us toward: a coming day with no more tears, no more darkness, and no more need for light because the night will truly be no more.
And Shaun Groves—oh, how he can tell a story, right?! He stirred our hearts. He helped us see how the hope of Heaven is not just something we wait for, but something we can extend right now to children around the world through Compassion International.
Then after intermission came the fragrance…
When that scent of flowers filled the room, every woman knew! We had just caught a whiff of Heaven, reminding us we are almost home.
And the women in every city? Incredible. The volunteers? Exceptional. And our local event coordinators—Shandra, Lexi, Julie, and Jennifer? Well, those women were phenomenal.
There was unity, joy, community, peace—and yes, lots of laughter!
Many thanks to the incredible team at Compassion International for making all of this possible! Our whole team is so grateful for every crew member, every volunteer, and every church that opened their doors and hearts to serve women. Oh, what a foretaste of “glory divine”!
Want to know where the Tour is heading next? We’ll be in Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky in the fall with a few other cities left to be finalized, so stay tuned! Or if you’d prefer, you can request to receive updates here.
Blessings,
Jennifer and the Team
