DENPASAR, Indonesia — What began as a gathering in Bali quickly evolved into a bold global call: women are rising—not as spectators, but as leaders shaping the future of faith, family, and society.
The WOW! Women of Witness (WOW) Conference 2026, held May 1–2 in Denpasar, drew participants from across Indonesia and international communities, positioning itself as more than a conference—an awakening movement.
At the center of this movement was Daphne Yang, Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Community Church in Singapore, whose message cut through traditional expectations and redefined the role of women in today’s world.
Rather than focusing on limitation, the conference emphasized identity, resilience, and purpose—urging women to take their place as strong spiritual pillars in every sphere of life.
“This is not a moment for hesitation. Women are rising to carry influence, responsibility, and transformation,” was the tone echoed throughout the event.
Participants traveled from regions including Bali, East Java, Yogyakarta, East Nusa Tenggara, and Papua, alongside international delegates, highlighting the expanding reach of the WOW movement beyond borders.
The sessions centered on inner healing and integrity—two elements described as essential foundations for long-term impact. Attendees were challenged not only to grow spiritually, but to lead with clarity, discipline, and conviction.
The event was hosted by Pastors David Henry Parera and Alexandra Ivanova in Denpasar, with support from ministry leaders including Caleb Garsia and teams from Singapore, reinforcing a growing network of cross-national collaboration.
Observers noted that WOW Conference 2026 reflects a broader shift within global faith communities—where women are increasingly stepping into visible leadership roles and driving change at multiple levels.
The movement itself was founded by Daphne Yang and her husband, Yang Tuck Yoong, and continues to expand internationally with a focus on building women who are grounded in faith and equipped to influence society.
As the conference concluded, the message remained clear: this was not an ending, but a launch.
Participants returned to their regions carrying more than inspiration—they carried a mandate to lead, to influence, and to stand firm in a rapidly changing world.
In an era marked by uncertainty and shifting values, WOW Conference 2026 delivered a decisive statement: the rise of women is no longer a conversation—it is a movement already in motion.
