Travail & Transforms 5th yr. Pearls, Praise, & Prayer

On October 1, 2025, we began our 5th year of Pearls, Praise & Prayer, and my heart is full of gratitude to God for His faithfulness. For five years, women across the world have stood together, clothed in unity, adorned in pearls, and committed to prayer and praise. This is no small thing, this is a move of God, and you are a vital part of it! 

We will gather together daily at 7:10 pm for corporate prayer, and each woman is encouraged to set aside 10 minutes individually at either 10:00 am or 10:00 pm to meet God in a personal way. 

Why ten? In scripture, the number 10 represents completion, divine order, and testimony. It reminds us that God is perfecting something in us during these 31 days, bringing order to our lives and sealing His promises with His Word.

This is significant because it was in October that Travail & Transform was birthed, out of travail came transformation. October is not just another month for us, it is a birthing place. It is a time when women of God press, push, and pray until something shifts and something new is delivered in the Spirit. This month will be no different. We are travailing, but we are also transforming!

For all 31 days, I encourage every sister to wear something pearl each day. It doesn’t matter if it’s a necklace, bracelet, earrings, or even a pin, let the pearls be a sign of unity, agreement, and covenant among us. Pearls remind us that beauty is formed through pressure, and together, our pearls testify that we have endured, overcome, and are being perfected in Christ.

The Word reminds us in Genesis 4:9 and Hebrews 13:1 that we are our brother’s (and sister’s) keeper. These 31 days are not just about your own journey but about standing in the gap for your sisters, encouraging one another, and holding each other up in prayer. We are better together, and united we are unstoppable.

So tonight, I encourage you to prepare your heart. Get your pearls ready. Set your clocks for 7:10 pm and 10 minutes of personal prayer. Tomorrow begins something powerful, and God is going to meet us in ways we have not yet seen. Let’s enter this 5th year with expectation, faith, and unity.

We are women of pearls. We are women of praise. We are women of prayer. And together, we are women of transformation.
