PLANO, Texas, Dec. 9, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- Thousands of women will gather in Atlanta at Philips Arena for 'Loved: The Farewell Tour' on January 22-23 for a weekend of celebration, stories, humor, and hope. Popular speakers, powerful dramas, and award-winning music combine for an experience that will resonate with women who need the assurance they are loved.

Beloved speakers and bestselling authors Patsy Clairmont, Mary Graham, Nicole Johnson, Marilyn Meberg, Nichole Nordeman, Anita Renfroe, Luci Swindoll, Sheila Walsh, Thelma Wells and many more are scheduled to headline the event. GRAMMY-nominated Building 429 will be in concert.

Long before reality TV, Women of Faith speakers were candidly sharing their real problems and challenges, all the while reassuring those in the audience that God is with us even in the pain of life. In a refreshing and characteristically authentic style, speakers on the Women of Faith platform tell the honest truth—about their struggles, their disappointments, their heartaches, and their joys. Throughout the weekend, women begin to see their own story in the lives of the speakers.

The day and a half event kicks off with doors opening Friday at 5:30 p.m. and the event running 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., and doors opening Saturday at 8 a.m., with the event running 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Atlanta is the 20th stop for this year's Women of Faith tour, which is scheduled in 22 cities nationwide.

Women of Faith is now in its 20th year of hosting the premiere interdenominational Christian events for women in the U.S., welcoming more than 5 million to events in 89 cities.

Recognizing that all women are faced with challenges in their daily lives—whether they've lost hope in their marriages, dreams, families, jobs, friendships, finances, or in God Himself—Women of Faith wants to encourage them that God loves them.

Uplifting and inspirational messages from world-class authors and performers offer relevant personal stories and practical applications for spiritual renewal, authentic connection with other women, and a deeper faith experience. For more information, visit www.womenoffaith.com.
