Founder & Executive Director, Worthy Ministries
Erin Arruda
Erin Arruda grew up in a home filled with the love of Jesus and felt called to preach His name during a missions trip to Guatemala at age sixteen. Though she later drifted into ambition and self-promotion, God’s grace drew her back, and she has passionately preached Jesus since 2007. Erin and her husband, Mickey, married that same year and have three beautiful daughters. In 2014, they joined Overflow Church, where Erin began leading women’s ministry and missions, officially stepping into the Missions Pastor role in 2017.
In February 2023, Erin received a clear prompting from the Holy Spirit to host a regional women’s conference. She partnered with Tracy Erwin and Pastor Ruth Spiegel to launch what would become Worthy Conference, with a mission rooted in Ephesians 4:1. In January 2024, Worthy Ministries was established as a nonprofit, where Erin now serves as President alongside a dedicated board of regional leaders.

Breakout Speaker
Victoria Piccirilli
After leading a successful national business for over 16 years, Kallah’s founder, Victoria Piccirilli, experienced a life-changing encounter with the Lord on April 3, 2020. In a moment marked by unmistakable clarity and love, she heard a divine invitation: “Unveil My Bride.”
Years of silent retreats, leadership gatherings, and spiritual preparation suddenly came into focus—not as coincidence, but as calling. What had felt scattered was now unmistakably sacred.
With a wholehearted yes, Victoria stepped into the mandate. What followed was Kallah: a ministry born from silence, built in surrender, and designed to create sacred spaces where others could encounter God with the same clarity, healing, and purpose.

Breakout Speaker
Sandra Tolsma
After meeting Anna, a Multiplication Network-trained church planter from Tanzania, Sandra was deeply inspired by her story. As Sandra began sharing Anna's story, she was met with a consistent response from women: "I want to become more like Anna and learn to boldly share my faith with others."
Sensing the Holy Spirit’s movement, the idea of training Americans to develop meaningful relationships with those far from God and effectively share their faith took root in Sandra’s heart, leading to the birth of Anna’s Circle.
Sandra splits her time between Grand Rapids, MI, and Wimauma, FL, with her husband Patrick. She has three adult children and a growing number of grandchildren who affectionately call her Granny. In her free time, Sandra enjoys walking, reading, traveling, and drinking really good coffee.

Conference Panelist
Pastor Len Harper
Pastor Len Harper's journey of faith began in high school after a classmate boldly asked if he believed Jesus was the Son of God. That simple question launched a year-long search for truth, culminating in Len surrendering his life to Christ in 1979. While earning a degree in Economics, he led InterVarsity Christian Fellowship on a secular campus, where his passion for ministry was ignited. He later left the business world to pursue full-time ministry, attending seminary in Texas and serving in churches across multiple states. Since 1997, Len has served as a Pastor of Overflow Church in Florida, passionately committed to seeing lives transformed by God's love. A founding voice in the Church United movement, Pastor Len champions gospel saturation through unity, worship, and prayer in Tampa Bay. He and his wife Robin have four sons and a deep desire to see every person experience healing, intimacy with God, and the hope of the gospel.
