Natalie Grant and Charlotte Gambill Embark on Highly Anticipated Second Annual Dare To Be Tour in January 2013

Los Angeles, Calif. (October 22, 2012) – Earlier this year thousands of women around the world voiced their excitement about the Dare to Be women’s event.  Now, Grammy nominated vocalist Natalie Grant and international speaker Charlotte Gambill are gearing up for the second annual Dare to Be event tour set to launch January 10, 2013.

Sponsored by World Vision and Regent University, the multi-city event tour kicks off in Nashville, Tenn. and will visit major markets including Baltimore, Columbus, Sacramento, Cleveland, Seattle and Portland.

With the purpose to inspire women from all walks of life to step out of their comfort zone and realize their God given potential, Dare to Be is an intimate evening of inspirational music, worship, teaching and fellowship.   Grant will perform some of her most popular songs and Gambill will make audiences laugh and cry through her authentic and relevant bible teaching, challenging women to dive into their God designed destiny.

“Dare to Be is not just an event, it is an adventure that we want to invite you to join us on,” says Gambill.  “We believe that God has purposed so much more for all our lives and often the barrier between that purpose being a dream or a reality is daring to believe it.  Over this past year we have seen hope revived, relationships restored and God’s girls leaving what’s comfortable to become courageous.”

Each evening, Gambill and Grant will acknowledge a woman in the local community who has overcome extraordinary circumstances and exemplifies a woman who is “daring to be.”   Despite the challenges that life can bring, Grant and Gambill want to show the powerful impact and importance of sisters honoring sisters.

Grant says, “Each evening is an opportunity to build someone up.  We get to take a moment to love on each other and it’s amazing to see what happens when we simply say ‘We see you.  We recognize you. You are important and are making a difference in this community by your example.’ We’ve seen countless women restored by this simple act of fellowship alone.”

The upcoming events will engage radio and social media to encourage community leaders to share the stories of those who are making a difference in their own congregations, whom they feel should be honored at their local Dare to Be event.

More information on story submissions can be found at www.daretoberevolution.com.

Earlier this year, Dare to Be visited a select number of markets and impacted thousands.   Women are still sharing about the impression the event made on their lives:

“It’s 5 months later and I continue to hear stories of life change. Natalie Grant & Charlotte Gambill are the real deal! Run, don’t walk to get your tickets,” said Libba Tullos, Women’s Pastor at Hope Fellowship in Frisco, TX.

“This event challenged women to dare greatly to be all that God has created them to be.  It dared women to step outside of their comfort zones, to trust God and to do all that He has called them to do. This event dared women to stretch farther, go higher, and dig deeper with God than they ever have before,” said former attendee.

In the early stages of their friendship, Grant and Gambill ministered together on several occasions in the UK and USA. Complete strangers at first, God instantly knit their lives together.  Now seven year later, they are closer friends and are excited to be walking out a purpose that God united them for.

Grant continues to gain international acclaim for her music, garnering countless awards, selling over a million albums, and performing in front of sold out crowds across the country.   Founder of Abolition International, a non-profit origination that works towards abolishing human trafficking, Grant uses her platform to bring a voice to the voiceless.  Gambill is an international speaker and author, best known for her practical and passionate application of God’s word. Her messages of life and purpose are rallying a generation to embrace the broken and become ambassadors of hope.

Natalie Grant And Abolition International Partnering With USAid is a post from: Natalie Grant

But the more I have discovered about Jesus and the more I learn of His thoughts towards me, what once were deafening and defeating statements, are replaced by the Truth of God.

I’m calling on all my girlfriends to rise up and be a part of a revolution. That together, with one voice, the earth would hear us, as the sisterhood of God say, “yes, we can.”

Dare To Be is a call for women to stand and say “I am who God says that I am. I can be what God says I can be. I can do what God has asked me to do.” If we could begin to see what God sees when He looks at us, how would that change our lives, marriages, families, communities and the world?

When Jesus asked Peter to walk on the water, I’m betting there were many “I can’t” thoughts that initially crossed his mind. But because Peter dared to believe and trust, Jesus accomplished the impossible through his life. He wants to do the same through us. Jesus didn’t say, “I’m sorry, Peter, but water-walking is for Messiahs only.” No, he said one simple word: Come. God is daring us to do impossible things by faith.

This is what I am asking of you. Throughout the week, I want you, daughter of the King, to dare to believe & live 1 thing God has called you to be.

1. Write it on a piece of paper. Then sign your name.
2. Take a picture while holding the sign. Tweet or facebook the pic with the hashtag #daretobe
3. Live it out.

We’ll make a weekly collage of all who are Daring To Be. I want to see your face among what will be a beautiful collection, and I’ll be excited to feature you on my website.

So, what will you DARE TO BE? Love, kindness, hope, courage, joy, peace, justice, freedom, empowered, uncompromising, forgiving, whole….

“I can do all things through CHRIST…”(Phil 4:13) – and so can YOU!

Join us for a Dare To Be event. Check dates and locations here.

ANNOUNCE GROUND-BREAKING NATIONWIDE DARE TO BE WOMEN’S EVENT

Revolutionary movement challenges women from all walks of life to be all that God has destined them to be.

Los Angeles, Calif. (February 17, 2012) – Dare To Be, a brand new live women’s event birthed from a realization of a dream from two close friends,  kicks off its 2012 spring tour in Oklahoma City, OK on April 12.

This revolutionary event features Nashville based four-time GMA Female Vocalist of the Year and 2012 GRAMMY nominee Natalie Grant, alongside international speaker and author Charlotte Gambill.  Grant and Gambill are embarking on this nationwide tour to dare women from all walks of life to aim higher, to stretch further – to trust.

“We want to provide a place where women can rediscover their God- given dreams,” says Grant. “We want to encourage women to go further than they ever thought possible; that right in the middle of their routine, God wants to shake things up. And right in the middle of hardship, God is providing the fuel for us to do more than just survive; He’s calling us all to thrive. Dare To Be is an event that will equip women with courage; so that they can be all that God has destined them to be.”

No newcomer to the Christian arena, Grant’s work has gained international acclaim, including four consecutive Dove Awards for Female Vocalist of the year. She is married to producer Bernie Herms and they have three children Grace Ana, Isabella Noelle and Sadie Rose. Gambill is an international speaker and author, best known for her practical and passionate application of God’s word. Her messages of life and purpose are rallying a generation to embrace the broken and become ambassadors of hope. Gambill helps lead Abundant Life Church in England. She and her husband Steve have two children, Hope Cherish and Noah Brave.

For the first years of their friendship, Grant and Gambill ministered together on several occasions in the UK and USA. Complete strangers at first, God instantly knit their lives together. Now six year later, they are the closest friends and are excited to be walking out a purpose that God united them for.

Presented by Hello Somebody and sponsored by Regent University, the Dare To Be nationwide events will highlight Grant and Gambill’s unique American, English combination. Each evening will feature Grant’s musical talent and Gambill’s powerful speaking, bringing to life a practical interpretation of God’s word that remains alive for our everyday challenges.

“This wasn’t an event we planned,” says Gambill. “We feel it’s a journey we are unfolding and inviting others to join. The earth needs its mothers, daughters, sisters to stand up and unite to care, to involve, to help,” she continues. “Sometimes you just need someone to come alongside you that understands your journey, to open their heart and share honestly their mistakes and victories. This event is to encourage women to ‘dare to be’ all God says they can be, to cheer them on and remove limitations, excuses and liberate dreams and destinies.”

“We want attendees to walk away with confidence, encouragement, excitement, purpose and a willingness to ‘dare to be,’” says Grant.

So I was looking up the definition of Valentine and I liked this one:

Valentine = A gift sent as a token of love

So I’m asking you – will you be my Valentine?

Since February is the month of “love” I’m hoping you will show me the love by helping me reach my goal. On February 26, I will be running in the Disney Princess half marathon. Myself, as well as a team of over 150 girlfriends, will be running for those who are enslaved in human trafficking. We will run for freedom. You may not be lacing up your shoes and running along side me, but you can still be on my team.

You can join me in two ways:

1) Pray – for those of us who will run the race. Pray for endurance and strength, and that we will be a beautiful, united witness for freedom in Jesus name.
2) Give – my prayer is that you can help me reach my goal of raising $50,000. I have about $20,000 to go. What are you waiting for? I know it will be a gift sent as a token of love. Click here to show your support: http://bit.ly/As589c

So I’ll ask you again: will you be my Valentine? Your gift is tax-deductible and will go to support the work of Abolition International. We are an organization that provides hope and restoration for the victims of human trafficking.

I’m grateful for each of you. Thanks for helping run for those who aren’t free … yet.

Much love,
Natalie
