Sharon Parr, a co-chairwoman of the event, said slots are still available for the series, which begins at 7 p.m. Friday and concludes with sessions at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday.

The Women of Grace conferences are part of Living His Life Abundantly International, a ministry founded by Benkovic, according to her official Web site. The event is sponsored by the Augusta Deanery Women.

"A group of women from Augusta went to Savannah to hear her speak a couple months ago, and she just gave such a wonderful, uplifting and powerful message for women, we just had to bring her to Augusta," Parr said.

Benkovic's lectures focus on the power of women and about the special mission God has for them, according to the Web site. The lectures are titled: God's Special Call to Women, Experience Grace in Abundance and Spiritual Warfare in the New Age.
