DEEPER

Women on Mission Conference: Deeper

This is the moment we’ve been praying for—the biggest gathering of women at Harvest Bible Chapel all year. We’re inviting you to step away from the noise and step into something Deeper. Join us Friday night and Saturday, March 13–14, at the Rolling Meadows Campus for a powerful women’s conference created to help you grow a deeper, more vibrant relationship with the Lord in every area of your life.

Rooted in Philippians 1:9–11, this weekend will call us to love God more fully, discern what truly matters, and live lives overflowing with spiritual fruit for His glory.

Through keynote sessions on Deeper Devotion, Deeper Dependence, and Deeper Discipleship, and engaging workshops, we’ll spend meaningful time together. You’ll leave encouraged, challenged, and refreshed.

Invite a friend, make new connections, and come expectant—registration is now open, and you won’t want to miss this.

Keynote Speakers

Deep Devotion with Lina AbuJamra

Dr. Lina Abujamra is a Pediatric Emergency Room doctor who now practices telemedicine full-time as well as oversees the ministry of Living With Power.

For more than 20 years, Lina has been teaching the Bible and speaking at conferences, retreats, and colleges, both here and overseas. She is the author of several books, including her most recent book, Don’t Tell Anyone You’re Reading This: A Christian Doctor’s Thoughts on Sex, Shame, and Other Troublesome Issues, as well as her Bible Study series Mapping the Footsteps of God.

Not unfamiliar with pain and brokenness, she has made it her mission to ignite passion for Jesus in the hearts of God’s people and to help them experience the beauty of Jesus’ healing and the power of hope.

Through Living With Power Global, Lina is providing medical and humanitarian aid to Lebanese people, refugee communities in Lebanon, and to Ukrainian families displaced by the war. 

Born in Beirut, Lebanon, Lina now calls Chicago home. She is still single and is still a huge Green Bay Packers fan.

 
Deep Dependence with Danielle Kelly

Danielle Kelly is a teacher and writer, and the founder of Unashamed and Free, a ministry devoted to helping people rest in God’s presence. Through letters, listening rooms, and teaching, Danielle offers companionship to those who feel weary, hidden, or exhausted by striving. 

Her work is shaped by prayer, Scripture, and a deep commitment to presence over performance. Danielle creates space for honest encounters with God, trusting that transformation emerges not through urgency, but through faithful attention to what God is already doing. 

Deep Discipleship with Stephanie Geisler

Stephanie Geisler serves as the women’s director at Harvest Bible Chapel.  She has a degree in psychology and worship leadership, with a master’s in counseling. Before coming to Harvest, she had served in several different areas, including student ministry, worship ministry, and private practice counseling, before God led her to women’s ministry.

Her heart is for the local church and women worshipping God in spirit and truth. For fun, she enjoys traveling, singing, and being with friends. She is married to Larry Geisler, not related to Norm, and welcomed their first child, Ryan, in August 2025.
