Women of Worship met on a very snowy February day for the Dangerous Prayer Worship Conference. The conference had two Saturday morning sessions with a one hour brunch separating the sessions. Once again, the WOW team worked seamlessly to bring this event to the women of Cheyenne.

Kathy Cordell, founder of Women of Worship, was the keynote speaker. Kathy is passionate about being courageous for Christ and her message revealed the ‘danger’ behind some of the prayers we pray without thinking about how it may shake up our lives. Kathy said that dangerous prayers are dangerous to our way of being only because they line us up with God’s way of being. Our dangerous prayers are an invitation from us to God to come in and perfect us and sometimes perfecting hurts! But the scariest thing in life is not being taken to painful and hard places with God, but going anywhere without Him.

The main ‘Dangerous’ Scripture for the conference was Psalm 139:23,24

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
       test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
       and lead me in the way everlasting.

Each section included a dangerous Scripture, dangerous question and dangerous prayer.

Some of the topics Kathy covered are:

  • The Prayer of Confession
  • The Prayer of Testing
  • The Prayer of Service
  • Authoritative Prayer
  • The Prayer of Examen
  • The Prayer of Salvation
  • Dangerously You-nique


    • Dangerous prayers are the steps that begin to transform our plans into God’s plans. Examples of Dangerous Prayers would be:

    • Lord change me.
    • Teach me Lord.
    • Lord, I will go for you
    • Lord show me how to stand against the schemes of Satan.
    • Lord I can’t do this on my own any more. Save me.
    • Lord, make me desperate for You!


    Kathleen Carnali joined us all the way from Nashville, TN. Her beautiful voice and amazing keyboard skills brought worship to life as she sang familiar songs as well as gracing us with some of her own music. Kathleen worked seamlessly with the speaker to create special moments and allow for times of transcendence.

    A special worship dance was performed by Joy Granger and Caroline Merriman. They danced beautifully to "Change Me Lord" and provided a special time of reflection for all.

    A brunch was served by Lynn Montoya and the WOW team. The brunch offered a great break and a special time for women from different churches all over Cheyenne to meet with each other.

    Several women have commented that the Dangerous Prayer Conference was their favorite of all the WOW events. It was intimate without the hype of some larger events and the time of fellowship built into the middle let women connect on a different level than some other conferences. The material presented was also very challenging as women contemplated their own prayer lives.

    Here are a few comments from the Dangerous Prayer Worship Conference:

    • This was such a wonderful event to have in our city. Women in Cheyenne are hungry for the Word of God and this conference shared the straight Truth with them. Even though life is hard sometimes God always has our best in mind. Thanks for giving Him the glory He deserves. 


    • I loved the Dangerous Prayer conference! It was especially nice to be able to stay at the church and share a meal with each other. The meal time gave us a chance to meet women from other churches in Cheyenne and I really liked that.


    • Kathleen Carnali is amazing!! She is a wonderful talent but I think what impressed me the most is that she gave all the honor to God. You can just tell how in love with Him she is! Can she come back and do another conference for WOW?

    • This was one of my favorite women’s conferences ever. It was home-grown, intimate, very well done and it was nice to share this time with other ladies from my own city. I don’t like the big crowds and driving so far for conferences so I liked this very much. And the price was right too!
