Reach Deeper

"GREAT ARE THE ACTS OF THE LOARD: THEY ARE WITHIN REACH OF ALL WHO DESIRE THEM."

PSALM 111:2V (ISV)

If you have been looking for an opportunity to dig deeper into the word of God and worship with like-minded sisters in Christ, don’t miss our annual Bloom Women’s Conference.Every year, women from all over the world come together for an amazing weekend to be engaged, equipped, empowered, and encouraged in the word of God.


As we continue to grow and mature in our walk with Christ, it becomes increasingly essential to carve out intentional time for spiritual replenishment. Our time together not only allows us to reflect but also allows us to reconnect with God and renew our strength in Him.


I want to encourage you to prioritize this weekend, take the time off, and invest in cultivating a deeper relationship with Christ, not only for personal growth, but for the specific ministry God has for you!

Pastor Erica R. Moore

Dr. Laurine Voltaire

Women of the Word, Founder

Cambridge, MA


Dr. Laurine Voltaire loves Jesus and loves people. A passionate teacher and preacher of God’s Word since the age of 19, she currently serves as a Clinical Director in human services, working to transform the IDD community through education and awareness. She is the Servant Leader and Founder of Women of the Word Global Inc. (WOWGI), a Boston-based nonprofit that disciples and empowers women around the world. Through this ministry, Dr. Voltaire teaches women how to cultivate intimacy with God, develop lasting spiritual disciplines, and lead Bible studies that impact their  communities. She empowers women to find their voices, embrace their divine purpose, and walk boldly in the calling of Jesus Christ, while building a community of faith, where women can be vulnerable, feel safe, and embrace the beauty of sisterhood. This month, WOWGI celebrates its 7th anniversary of global impact and discipleship. Dr. Voltaire holds a Doctorate in Education, Community Care and Counseling, and Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University, and a Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She is the author of the devotional So Be Encouraged: Breakfast with Jesus, available wherever books are sold, and is currently writing her next book, set to release in Spring/Summer 2026. An educator, mentor, and prophetic voice for this generation, Dr. Voltaire partners with ministries across New England as part of a global movement of prophetic evangelism—shining the light of Jesus in dark places, saving souls for the kingdom of heaven, and seeing those who are bound and stuck in addiction set free by the power of Christ. In April 2026, she taught a course at Boston College about Grief and Sustaining Hope and Meaning in Dark Times. Beyond her ministry and professional work, Dr. Voltaire is a big foodie who loves her family and friends and enjoys living life to the fullest.
