To know Maria Egilsson is to know someone who is passionate about issues women face, their relationship with themselves, with God and the world around them. For over 20 years, Maria has had the distinct privilege to speak into the lives of women. Whether teaching Bible studies, lay-counseling at the local Crisis Pregnancy Centre, speaking events or training volunteers for ministry, she has loved encouraging women to be all they can be for God’s purpose on earth. Her heartbeat is for women to see themselves as God sees them, to discover and pursue their God given destinies. Self-described as a continuous “work in progress", Maria has learned how to find deep satisfaction in the word of God. Through many desert places God has proven Himself faithful over and over again.
