At the dawn of Spring women young and old, will gather for the “I am an Overcomer” ARISE Women’s Conference which takes place from September 4 to 6 at the Word of Faith Christian Centre in Port Elizabeth.
The conference entails daily seminars with key note speakers who include former Miss SA finalist Vanessa Goosen, who was charged with drug trafficking and sentenced to death in a Thai Prison and Esther Meshoe, a successful businesswomen and philanthropist.
Goosen found herself pregnant, terrified and alone is a Thai prison after her pleas of innocence fell on deaf ears. She spent 16 years in jail before she was pardones. Her testimony of her travailing walk to redemption after finding Jesus in a Buddhist dominated country and her deep revelation of God the Father have deeply touched the lives of many.
