Candace Alford
Ladies Keynote
My name is Candace and I am passionate about my Lord and Savior! After years of avoiding things in my life, I’ve accepted what Christ is doing through it all! And now I am ready to share with the world what He has done for me! My heart longs to be available for women; young and old who may find themselves in tough situations and are looking to seek out and grow their relationship with Jesus!
Come Alive with Candace highlights moments in my life of Faith & Family Farm.
​
After 10 years of marriage, 5 of which living on the farm, I think I can confidently say that I have embraced life as a farm wife! Over the course of our time back in my neck of the woods, I’ve planted a MOMS ministry (2016) and Overflow Ministries (2020), wrote a Christian Children’s book (and pssst, working on more!!) My prayer is to continue to make an impact in my surrounding communities.
I love baking, being outdoors, music, drawing and PEOPLE! I love meeting new people, seeing old friends and talking about Jesus with anyone! I’m beyond thankful for the time spent at home with my family, which has given me the opportunity to explore this new adventure!
Laurie Anderson
Girl's Keynote Speaker
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who had 5 wishes:
​
1 - To love the Lord
2 - To find a Prince who would love to serve
and bless others!
3 - To have a family who would walk
with the Lord!
4 - To use the gift the Lord has given
her to teach Kindergarten!
5 - To be intentional each day and in every
situation to share God's love.
As we all know Fairy Tales are not real but this little girl got her wishes not by magic but by the grace of God! We are not promised an easy life and she has had a journey to her castle but she knows God has a plan.
I met my Prince, Phil and we have been married for 36 wonderful years and have two sons Levi and Spencer. We are also blessed with a beautiful daughter in law's Charity and Alli. The Lord has blessed us with grandchildren, Noelle, Theo and Brooks.

My life verse is Matthew 5:16 "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
