Katie Orr and Lara Williams met on Twitter. Which is proof that good can come from social media. God brought them together, birthing a friendship that would eventually develop into ministry. I love how God builds connections.
Over time He gave them a vision and desire to be used to equip women towards a more passionate walk with their Lord. And what started as one small, practical book called Savoring Living Water later grew into Quench Bible ministries where they now serve together to bring us books, Bible studies, and the new Quench Retreat.
Savoring Living Water
This book was Katie and Lara’s first writing venture together. They wrote it to be a practical tool aiding women to have an effective time in God’s Word. Because we all want His Word to affect our daily living, yet it often feels as if truths lie flat on the pages of Scripture.
In this book, you will discover:
- A practical how-to method for studying the Bible on your own.
- Tips on how to connect with God in a meaningful way through journaling and Scripture memory.
- Ways to deal with the distractions that inevitably arise during a quiet time.
- How to apply God’s Word to the moments of daily living.
- …and much more.
Quench Bible Study Series
Being that the simple yet effective tips from Savoring Living Water were so well received, Katie and Lara began writing other Bible studies, implementing the same techniques taught in their book.
So if you’re looking for guidance and encouragement in studying God’s Word on your own, then the Quench Bible study series may be perfect for you.
Whether a beginner trying to figure out where to start, or a seasoned student of the Bible, this series gives simple structure for your time in God’s Word. With a focus on teaching you how to dig into the Bible on your own, it’s much more than a devotional but not as time consuming as an in-depth study.
Quench Retreat
After writing a number of Bible studies, and individually being asked to speak at various women’s events, Katie and Lara prayerfully designed the Quench Retreat.
When you mix Katie’s passion for teaching the Word in a practical way with Lara’s powerful speaking ministry — all submitted to the movement of God’s Spirit — you have a dynamic combination. One through which God graciously pierces hearts and stirs faith.
And the best part, they bring this Quench Retreat to you, prayerfully developing a unique experience for each group they serve, desiring to leave those who attended with soul-rest and inspiration.
The Quench Retreat embodies two general themes:
- The Heart Aspect — God’s Word is alive and meant to change us from the inside-out.
- The Practicalities — We can implement tangible practices to help develop our time in His Word.
The next time God calls you to plan a women’s event, you may want to consider the Quench Retreat. Katie and Lara would be honored to serve alongside you.
So be sure to stop by Katie and Lara’s table at Declare. Not only will they have giveaways — and we all know that everyone likes free stuff — they also just want to meet you!
