This year’s “Woman, Thou Art Loosed! Master Class” women’s conference, hosted by Bishop T.D. Jakes of the 30,000-member megachurch The Potter’s House, will tackle domestic violence in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Attendees of this year’s conference, held Oct. 18-20 in Dallas, Texas, are being asked to bring an extra bag in their suitcases as part of the Bags-2-Go campaign presented by The Potter’s House United MegaCARE. The bags can be “new and gently used, of all kinds and dimensions,” and will be given to domestic violence victims in partnership with Genesis Women’s Shelter, according to a press release sent to The Christian Post.
“October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month,” notes the press release. “One in four women in the U.S. experiences domestic abuse, while one in three women does so in Texas. Once a woman decides to leave an abusive relationship, belongings and toiletries are often thrown into plastic or garbage bags, usually ripping and falling apart before the woman makes it to a designated safe place or women’s shelter.
