April will be speaking in Westlake at the Annual Brave Women’s Conference on May 4 & 5. The conference will be held at Church on the Rise, 3550 Crocker Road in Westlake. She will bring a powerful Word that you won’t want to miss. The early bird price for tickets is only $25, but will be going up to $35 soon!

April will also be bringing a special message at Church on the Rise on Sun., May 6th at 9:30 and 11 a.m. services.
April comes from a family of encouragers; her late father, Pastor John Osteen and her mother, Dodie, pastored Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas for over 40 years. Her brother, Joel, along with her mom and brother and sister, continue the work by encouraging millions daily through television.
What is most important to April is her family. She has five kids; Christiana, Garrison and his beautiful wife, Franchesca, Savannah, Elliana and Arriella. Her newest addition is her beautiful granddaughter, Penelope.
Her father always said, “Your first mission field is your family” and that’s a principle April truly tries to live by.
