for all women from 14+
We have been hosting Daughters of Promise seminars since 2006.
Young girls from 14 years of age to older women in their late 70’s have participated in a Daughters of Promise seminar.
We have held Daughters of Promise seminars in church settings, community centres and organisations, independent and state Junior and High Schools and with groups of young women who were considered "at risk” in our community. We have also run a four day camp for young women whose parents were inmates in Qld Prisons. This was run in partnership with Queensland Prison Fellowship.
I personal love seeing the different ages of women in the same seminar. I believe the the different generations have so much to offer each other. When we work together, supporting, encouraging and sharing life experiences, we all benefit.
Women sharing life together.
During each seminar without fail, we watch as women of all ages and stages of life begin to realize their beauty, strength and identity, and walk into a fuller understanding of their uniqueness and value.
Daughters of Promise seminar takes place in small groups, as it is a personal, intimate and interactive experience designed to help women of all ages discover who they are, their worth and their value.
Teaching, encouragement and support are provided by a dedicated team of women representing many stages and experiences of life.
The goal is simple….We desire to help women find their true value and worth
And position them to experience the fullness of life.
Inside every woman there is a rose. Show her the rose, she will conquer the thorns.
Daughters of Promise is a one-day seminar that runs from 8.00 am - 6.30 pm approx on a Saturday. It is Affordable and available to women of all ages, stages of life and backgrounds.
It is an intensive and interactive environment where subjects relevant to women’s lives today are openly and honestly shared and discussed. Where women find practical and honest answers to their challenges
It is our desire that these seminars provide an atmosphere where women of all ages can grow and be empowered to embrace the “Woman inside “ and walk in a greater measure of their authentic identity and fullness of life

What Leaders are saying about the Daughters of Promise program

There were a number of things that really impressed me about Daughters of Promise. Firstly, the quality of your leadership Sue, coupled with the amazing dedication of your team members was outstanding. There was such an atmosphere of team work which enabled a large amount of topics to be covered and allowed the event to flow well.
You and all of your team expressed a genuine love and care for all of the women who were involved. This was demonstrated through the time you all spent chatting with the participants and also through the quality of every part of the program, right down to the food! The level of excellence illustrates the very heart of Daughters of Promise – that women are worth it!
There is such an anointing on this ministry and the presence of God could be strongly felt throughout the weekend. We have witnessed many lives changed as a result of hosting a Daughters of Promise. There has been such growth in all the women who participated, with some of them becoming more involved in the life of our church. They have been raving about Daughters of Promise to their family and friends, with a number offering to pay for other women to be a part of the next event.
Thank you so much Sue and thanks to your team for blessing the women in our church with this wonderful ministry. We look forward to next year!

I am a Youth Pastor and this role allows me to be actively involved in the lives of teenagers and young adults aged 13-28, through different programs,
In January this year, we welcomed Ps Sue Hartley and her team to Shiloh to facilitate ‘Daughters of Promise’. A number of our young women were involved in this special event. As it was the first time that we had hosted a ‘Daughters of Promise’ event, the girls had little idea about what to expect, but I can honestly say their lives were greatly impacted in the best possible way.
Even six months down the track, ‘Daughters of Promise’ is still talked about with much excitement and enthusiasm. I have witnessed a real change in the girls who were a part of it – a change for the better. They have more confidence and are wiser about their decisions for the future. They recognise their value and have been able to leave past hurts behind.
‘Daughters of Promise’ is well-designed and is facilitated with professionalism and excellence. Every member of the team was well-prepared and easy to work with. I sincerely endorse this ministry and would encourage others to support it in whatever way they are able; be it financially, prayerfully, or by being a participant or host.
Yours truly

Bribie Christian Church took part in the Daughters of Promise seminar with wonderful results.
The seminar was conducted very professionally by Sue Hartley and her capable team and was a huge success both with young ladies attending, and with their parents. The content of the seminar was up-to-date, detailed, and delivered appropriately.
The methods of content delivery were varied and were most appropriate for meeting the young people where they were at. Daughters of Promise addressed issues that many people are afraid to touch.
They did this with the utmost care and sensitivity. All of my attendees and my team were impressed by the team’s willingness to share their own stories of heartache and redemption. I highly recommend this program and its team led by Sue Hartley.

It is my honour to recommend Sue Hartley and the Daughters of Promise team. The results of this weekend are ever before me as I move among our young women. The conversations usually go like this "Well you know I haven't had a problem with (such and such) since the Daughters of Promise weekend." This can range from being free from an addiction, or striving for acceptance, to being held back by shyness or feelings of unworthiness. We received a timely message on purity and wholesome living, but we were doused in love at every move. At one moment during the program, I wept as I was overwhelmed at the love that was poured out over the women that I love. There is a saying that 'actions speak louder than words.' I can honestly say that Daughters of Promise truly encapsulates the very heart of that saying. Thank you, Sue and your exquisite team.
We are forever changed With Love

What Participants are saying about the Daughters of Promise program

My experience of Daughters of Promise is one I will never forget. It was a blessing that came at the perfect time. Words cannot begin to describe the point I was at in my life and how bad I was feeling. I think it is so easy to believe that we are so terrible and unworthy that God has to have turned his back on us by now and that we are the only one going through such pain.
Daughters of Promise showed me that both of these were terrible lies and revealed the real beautiful truth.
It was an experience that picked me up from a low place and put me right back where I should have always been.
So thank you to all the team!

Daughters of Promise was amazing, the team were just phenomenal.
The D.O.P team helped me to get over some pretty deep issues I had with myself and other people. During this experience I have also grown a lot closer to the girls in our friendship group and we went to a new level of deep communication. We all had an awesome time; I have no words that can express the experience I had that weekend. I have a deeper appreciation for myself and a new look on life. I would recommend every lady to join the D.O.P experience, you'll get more than you'd expect.
I love and appreciate the Daughters of Promise team.
You are truly extraordinary ladies.
Love always
