Daddy's Sons & Daughters Conference 2024

About Us Empowerment and Healing: Daddy's Sons and Daughters Conference 2024 The Daddy’s Sons and Daughters Conference is a unique, multi-cultural, ecumenical, event that addresses the mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals that are affected by the impact of fatherlessness, abandonment, and abuse. ​The conference, hosted by Greater Faith Temple Ministries, is comprised of a combination of workshops, nightly worship services, a mental health fair and a celebratory luncheon. ​2024 marks the 20th year anniversary of the Daddy's Sons and Daughters Conference and this year's theme is "The Cry" which is based on Exodus 2:23-25, which reminds us that God hears the cries of His children, He remembers His promises to His people, and He takes special notice of their suffering situation. ​This year, we take back ground by uncovering abuse in the church, acknowledging fatherless sons and hearing the cry of our abandoned youth and young adults. We want you to know that GOD HEARS YOUR CRIES and so do we! *Conference Agenda* Tuesday, June 18, 2024 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM (Free Event) Workshop Name: Wolves Attacking the Sheep: Recognizing Abuse in the Church Workshop Host: Gwen Turner 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM (Free Event) The Cry: Abuse in the Church Featured Speaker: Lady Kamangie Parker Wednesday, June 19, 2024 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM (Free Event) Workshop Name: Reconnecting Families Workshop Workshop Host: Seedco 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM (Free Event) The Cry: Fatherless Sons Featured Speaker: Royal Chatman Thursday, June 20, 2024 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM (Free Event, Requires Registration) Workshop Name: Stewards of Children Training - Virtual Training Workshop Host: Memphis Child Advocacy Center 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM (Free Event) The Cry: Youth Abandonment & Rejection Featured Speaker: Ambassador Sophia Ruffin-Wilson Saturday, June 22, 2024 10:00AM - 11:00AM (Free Event) Mental Health Fair 11:00AM - 1PM (Paid Event, Requires Registration) Daddy's Sons & Daughters Awards Ceremony and Luncheon Featured Speaker: Prophet LaKiesha Allen Our Story Dr. Orlester Johnson, over the years of ministering to the community at large, began to have heart breaking experiences during Sunday Morning altar calls. Seeking deliverance and freedom from their pasts, women began sharing painful recollections of childhood abuse that had them stuck. Several spoke of being subjected to abusive situations by men who were relatives, teachers, coaches, pastors, or other “trusted individuals”. Some even confessed that they continued to suffer as adults due to being in abusive intimate relationships. Although ages, nationalities, and circumstances varied, all the testimonials shared a common thread. This commonality was growing up in households that did not include their biological father. In direct response to having these encounters, Dr. Johnson felt burdened of the Lord to do something. This burden birthed the first annual Daddy’s Girls Conference which convened in 2005. Over the years, the conference focus has widened to include men as well because, we know abuse knows no gender. The impact of what is now known as the Daddy’s Sons and Daughters Conference, is immeasurable. Countless lives have been touched as a result of this ministry and the work is not done. As long as the void of fatherlessness is present in the lives of men and women, the Daddy’s Sons and Daughters Conference will be on the front lines bringing help, healing, and hope.
