SAME CONFERENCE

2 DATES - 2 LOCATIONS

In 2025, our Conference sold out quickly again!

This year we've moved the online booking launch to 1 July to give women more time to save and plan accordingly.

If you're doing a group booking, this will also allow you time to advertise, invite and organise the group.

We're grateful to be able to offer the same two locations - Christ Church Somerset West and St James Church, Kenilworth.

Our goal is to REACH WOMEN with the gospel of Jesus Christ - solid bible teaching, vibrant praise and worship and connection with women from all over Cape Town!

More than a feeling ...

Our emotions are God-given gifts intended for growth, as we navigate this broken world.

But managing our emotions can be so tough. As Christian women, we need help engaging with our complex emotions like fear, anger and grief before the Lord, rather than suppressing, venting or ignoring them.

We need God's help to move from being stuck and overwhelmed by our emotions, to using them for growth in our faith and relationships.

About the Speaker

Sandra Lyons

Sandy Lyons is our 2026 Conference speaker.

Navigating our emotions in this broken world can leave us overwhelmed and exhausted.

But God has not left us alone – He’s given us Himself in the Lord Jesus, His Holy Spirit and His word.  He has much to say to us on this topic, and we have much to learn about what it looks like to bring our emotions to Him and allow Him to use them for our growth and His glory.

Sandy has been involved in REACH for many years – serving alongside her husband Glenn in full time ministry for the past two decades – first in Gqeberha and more recently, in Cape Town.

She has completed the EXPLORE course as well as the Biblical Counselling programme through CCEF.  Both areas of study have impacted her personally in a profound way!

Together, Sandy and Glenn have been involved in leadership at a National level within REACH.  But, despite having opportunities to serve nationally, Sandy’s passion is ministering to women in her local church – getting alongside them, loving them and pointing them to Christ.

Sandy enjoys coffee, deep conversations, spending time in the outdoors and with friends and family.

She is looking forward to speaking to us from God’s word at the REACH WOMEN Conference this year.
