Kelly Hawley
FOUNDER/HOST
Kelly Hawley is the Founder and Executive Director of Warrior Bride Ministries. Kelly holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Winthrop University. She has served individuals and families impacted by childhood exploitation for over 19 years.
While ministering to survivors with similar stories as her own, she noticed the Lord was sending many who had been trafficked. This exposed Kelly to the bigger picture of ritual abuse and the lack of help available to trafficked survivors and those with dissociative identity disorder. After seeking training and mentorship from experts in the field who specialized in helping survivors of SRA, Kelly founded Warrior Bride Ministries.
Kelly embraces the call to unite the body of Christ to become educated and involved in the rescue and healing of our children. She fosters this growth through ministry partnerships, hosting Counting the Cost conferences, and leading presentations at safe houses and other ministries. Her heart’s cry is for all believers to embrace Isaiah 61 by becoming equipped to bind up the brokenhearted and set the captives free.

Iain Bryson
AUTHOR/FATHER OF A TRAFFICKED CHILD
Iain is the father of a child that was internationally trafficked into an intergenerational satanic family. He has been fighting for over fourteen years to expose the evil practices of his first wife’s family, she having revealed to him that her family is a “cult,” and that she would be taking their daughter back there because of “mind control.” Iain didn’t know what she could be talking about, but then it happened, two days after Christmas in 2010.
After failing to convince the authorities to intervene on behalf of his daughter for four months post abduction, Iain attempted to force an evaluation of his daughter, leading to him being incarcerated in Poland for fifty months. Iain published a documentary style, evidence-based memoir in 2024, and he continues to fight for his daughter and others in similar situations.
Iain and his wife, Emily, have dedicated their lives to the One who says He will (Psalm 145:19). Their desire is to expose the darkness and see the captives set free. When one’s own daughter is caught up in such a thing as satanic ritual abuse, it becomes clear fast that there is nothing else to be done other than to draw near to He who can do all things (Job 42:2).

What to Expect
In an hour when so much pain remains hidden behind silence and systems of secrecy, we believe Yahweh is raising up a remnant who will carry His heart into the darkest places. The 2025 Counting the Cost Conference is a call to gather, awaken, and equip the Body of Christ to stand with survivors of ritual abuse and mind control—and to walk with them toward healing, wholeness, and freedom.
This is a call to war not waged with the weapons of this world, but with the authority of Christ, the truth of His Word, and the tenderness of His presence. We cannot afford to look away. Survivors of ritual abuse and mind control—often silenced and marginalized—need a safe place in the Body of Christ. They need believers who are trauma-informed, spiritually discerning, and fiercely committed to walking with them through the long, difficult process of healing. This conference is one step in that journey.
Maybe you're not a survivor, and you're not a pastor—but your heart is grieved by the suffering you’ve seen. You want to help, but don’t always know how. This conference is also for you. The Body of Christ needs deeply compassionate, spiritually grounded believers who are willing to sit in the unknown, pray without ceasing, and love without judgment.
You'll find others here like you—those who are learning how to listen, how to advocate, how to intercede for healing and justice in situations most would rather ignore. You’ll be encouraged, challenged, and reminded that your role is both essential and powerful.
The Church must no longer ignore the cries of the wounded or the realities of evil. Yeshua is calling His Bride to rise—not with rage, but with righteousness. Not with fear, but with fire. And that begins with gathering, listening, and being willing to follow Him into the depths—no matter the cost.
Come ready to be changed. Come ready to contend. Come ready to love. Come ready to count the cost.
Friday (Start Time TBD):
From approximately 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, we will offer prayer and baptisms, free and open to all attendees.
At 7:00 PM, join us for a ticketed oceanfront dinner for networking, fellowship, and fun. This event will run until 9:00 PM and requires prior registration.
Saturday & Sunday (8:00 AM – 7:00 PM):
Each morning will begin with worship at 8:00 AM, followed by powerful speaker presentations.
We will break for lunch mid-day (meal not provided), then return for more speaker sessions and survivor testimonies in the afternoon.
Days will conclude by 7:00 PM.
Safety & Security
Your safety is a priority:
On-site security will be present throughout the event.
All guests will be scanned upon entry, and bags will be searched.
Each attendee is allowed only one bag in the meeting room.
No weapons of any kind are allowed on the premises.
We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
A Word of Caution to Survivors
Survivors are welcome at this conference, and we believe many may find hope, insight, and tools for healing from ritual abuse and mind control. However, we want to gently but clearly state that the content presented — including testimonies, teachings, images, videos, and/or discussions — may be highly triggering.
We urge each survivor to prayerfully and wisely evaluate whether they are in a place in their healing journey to engage with this material. This conference will go deep into intense and potentially distressing topics, and it is the individual’s responsibility to determine if they are ready for that experience.
We strongly encourage survivors to bring a trusted support person and to have a personal safety plan in place to stay grounded and safe throughout the event.
Please note: Due to travel constraints, Warrior Bride may not be able to provide a separate prayer room or onsite ministry support during the teachings.
Your safety and well-being are of utmost importance. Please take time to discern if attending is right for you at this time.
