Worthy Conference Speakers

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.

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.

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.
