More recently she has been serving as a missionary and CEO of Native American Youth Ministries. \nPatricia was raised in a Christian home and accepted Christ at the age of 8.  Her love for God is evident in how she serves the Native people with great joy!  We have all experienced joy and the lack of joy.  We love having joy\, but it is sometimes elusive. God’s word gives us some form of the word joy 430 times.  It is a topic that is near and dear to God’s heart. It isimportant\, necessary\, and desired. It is even disobedient to not have joy. \nCome and enjoy a practical study on “Joy…ALWAYS” at the CHIEF Native Women’s Fall Conference November 1-2. Our hope and prayer is that it will change you from the inside out. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Schedule\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Friday's ScheduleSaturday's Schedule\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Friday \n4:30 pm – 5:30 pm     Registration \n5:30 pm – 6:30 pm     Supper \n6:30 pm – 8:00 pm     Acquaintance Time \n10:30 pm – 6:00 am    Quiet Time \n \n \n \n \n \n Saturday \n    8:15 am – 9:00 am     Breakfast \n  9:00 am – 10:15 am    Session I with Patrica \n 10:15 am – 10:45 am   Coffee Break \n 10:45 am – 12:00 pm   Session II with Patrica \n   12:00 pm – 1:00 pm   Lunch & Craft Sale \n     1:00 pm – 2:15 pm   Singing & Sharing \n     2:15 am – 2:45 pm   Break \n     2:45 am – 4:00 pm   Craft Making \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register by mailRegister by Phone\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n   \n\nDownload the registration form\nFill out form\nInclude check or money order to CHIEF Inc. –   Must be postmarked by October 16\nMail to the CHIEF office –  Registration is on a first-come basis\nDownload: 2024 Native Women Conf Registration\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nDownload the pdf registration form\n2024 Native Women Conf Registration\nFill out registation form\nBe prepared to submit a credit card form of payment\nCall the CHIEF Office and register over the phone.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Us\nAboutHistoryThe Native PeopleWhat We DoSpeaking \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Events\nConferencesSchool Without WallsNative Leadership ForumNative Women's Bible StudyMinistry EventsHuron's Itinerary  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Resources\nCHIEF ResourcesDirectory of NationsConference VideosTraining VideosNative StoriesShop \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Get Involved\nPrayerBe an Advocate VolunteerSend GiveContact Us \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Stay In Touch\nSubscribe to our CHIEF newsletter.
