A sneak peak behind-the-scenes
With only a month left until the REACH WOMEN Conference, preparations are well underway.
Our wonderful RWC Committee is hard at work with their respective teams to make all the necessary preparations.
We are hoping to welcome the maximum capacity of 900 women to the Conference, which will be hosted at St James Church, Kenilworth on Saturday 19th August.
Getting the campus ready to receive and host this volume of people requires detailed thought and planning.
Getting the facilities ready
Jean Machill is overseeing the logistics for the Conference. She is making sure that the facilities are ready and that the logistics side of things runs smoothly.
For example, in addition to making sure that there is plenty of complementary tea / coffee on offer for our Conference delegates during the tea-break, Jean has also organised external COFFEE TRUCKS for the morning.
These COFFEE TRUCKS will be around from arrival at the Conference and throughout the morning. This means that, should you want to, you’ll be able to pick up a cappuccino (or whatever you choose) when you arrive or during the morning (at your own expense).
Tea / filter coffee will also be served inside the Conference venue during the morning refreshment break, in various refreshment areas. This tea / coffee is included in your ticket price.
We hope that these additional efforts will make the Conference even more welcoming and comfortable.
Delicious chocolate brownies
Charissa Hey, another RWC Committee member is liaising with the wonderful KHAYELITSHA COOKIES bakery (https://kcco.co.za). They are supplying us with a chocolate brownie each, to enjoy during our refreshment break.
Just a reminder that we are unable to cater for people with dietary requirements this year, so if you have a special dietary requirement (like gluten-free or vegan etc.), please bring along your own snack/s to enjoy during the refreshment break.
A team of volunteers to direct the traffic
Glynda Hermann who is also part of the RWC Committee is co-ordinating a team of ushers to help on the day. This team is vital to making sure that our Conference delegates receive a warm welcome and that their tickets are checked and received.
The joy of music
We’re also grateful to our team of MUSICIANS who will be leading us in singing on the day. They are already preparing behind-the-scenes to serve us in this way.
We’re looking forward to learning a this song with them, which fits in beautifully with the theme of the Conference.

What to expect at the 2023 conference?
The REACH WOMEN Conference is an annual Conference for women that takes place in Cape Town, South Africa.
The Conference seeks to REACH WOMEN with the gospel of Jesus Christ - the focus is solid Bible teaching, vibrant praise and worship and connection with other women and their stories of grace.
How long, O Lord?
Do you ever find yourself despairing at the state of the world? Life around us seems so broken, both on macro and micro levels.
We see corruption, greed and injustice in our government and social systems. But, we also see mess and brokenness in our homes and relationships.
Our world is crying out for answers! It's easy to find ourselves asking where God is in it all?
Seeking answers from the book of Habakkuk
Habakkuk is a book of the Bible that asks that exact question - “How long, O Lord?”
At the REACH WOMEN Conference this year, come expecting to hear from God in His Word, as we explore His answer to that cry.
Watch this little video to find out more about what to expect:
Conference speaker
Our speaker this year is Jo Taylor. Jo studied theology at George Whitfield Bible College, obtaining a BTh and joining the team at St Stephen's Bible Church in Claremont.
Jo is passionate about teaching the Bible and we're excited to have her as our 2023 Conference speaker.

What does the R60 ticket price include?
If you're been following our advertising campaign since we launched earlier this year, you'll hopefully have picked up that the 2023 Conference is a bit different.
In an attempt to keep the ticket price as low as possible, we've gone "back to basics".
We hope you'll agree that R60 is a bargain price for a full morning Conference!
So, there isn't going to be a goodie bag like in previous years, with a packed lunch etc. However, we are supplying the following:
Our delicious brownie is being supplied by the amazing team at Khayelitsha Cookies.
