Women of Judah Conference
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Fight your own battles!” But that’s not what God‘s word tells us! Exodus 14:14 says, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still.” God wants us to stop trying to fight our own battles and let Him fight them for us! It’s time to take your eyes off what you see and put your eyes on God! How do you do that? By living a life of praise and worship. When we do that, it releases His power to work in our lives and in the situations we face. His power in us enables us to live in freedom and victory! Don’t miss this conference! God has something special just for you! Join with ladies from all across New England as we raise our voices and open our hearts to the Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit!

Desiree Barboza
Worship Leader
Desiree Barboza is an anointed worship leader with the sweet touch of the Holy Spirit upon her life. She has been attending Victory Church since she was a child. Her love for worship began at a young age, and she has been faithfully serving on the worship team since she was a teenager. Desiree acquired her Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) in 2019 from the University of New England in Portland, Maine. Following graduation, she pursued a one-year residency at a hospital in South Florida. Currently, Desiree works at Women and Infants Hospital in Providence as a Staff Pharmacist. During a difficult season in her life, she experienced how just one worship song can change one's perspective, fill them with hope, and change the course of an individual’s life. Since moving back to Rhode Island, Desiree has rejoined the worship team and is now a worship leader at Victory Church. This will be her fourth year ministering as part of the Women of Judah Worship Team. We are excited that this year, she will be leading the Women of Judah Worship Team! Desiree is looking forward to seeing God set women free through worship and His Word.
