In 2012, the United Methodist Women (UMW) sent Denise and Devan to Limitless, a national women’s event, at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. While in Durham, they learned about what UMW do to help people around the world. The UMW also provided them with new resources that would help them come back to Western PA to create their own event: Unstoppable.
The Unstoppable event in 2014 was held at Grove City College and included 18 young women from eight out of the ten districts in the Western Pennsylvania Conference. They learned about the important issues facing the world today, such as poverty, human trafficking, and the conflict in Israel/Palestine.
Unstoppable has met at various locations over the years, including California University of PA and Olmsted Manor. Since 2017 we have gathered at Olmsted Manor for our annual summer retreat. Each year we have hosted a new speaker, new Unstoppables, and completed a variety of mission projects.
Unstoppable desires to broaden its reach, and we hope to host events in each of the districts of the Western PA UMC Conference. The plan is with more frequent and local events, we can grow our bonds with one another and reach new out to more young women.
