Annie Lobert…founder of Hookers for Jesus.
STOP PRESS:
GATEWAY NEWS HAS JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT ANNIE LOBERT WILL UNFORTUNATELY NOT BE COMING TO ARISE AS HER DOCTOR HAS ADVISED HER NOT TO TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY FOR HEALTH REASONS — WATCH OUT FOR AN UPDATE ON ARISE EARLY NEXT WEEK
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 Annie Lobert, an international anti-human trafficking advocate and Esther Meshoe, a successful businesswomen and philanthropist.
Enslaved for a decade by sex trafficking, Annie Lobert is a living testimony. Her message of grace and redemption has touched the lives of thousands. Her passion to bring healing and restoration gave life to ‘Hookers for Jesus’ an organisation which supports those entrenched in the sex industry.
Daughter of prominent MP Kenneth Meshoe – it’s no wonder Esther’s philanthropy efforts are noted as the root of her influence nationally and internationally. Esther is a successful businesswomen and pioneer of ‘Diamonds’ a character development programme which empowers women to discover their authentic beauty. She is characterised as dynamic women yet gracious and compassionate. Both speakers have overcome life’s unpredictable adversities by rising up with courage and conviction.
Women attending the conference can expect a fun filled weekend shared with their girlfriends as they delight themselves in savvy seminars, creative workshops, onsite shopping and beauty treatments whilst indulging in invigorating chit chat over coffee and cake. Proceeds of the conference will go towards ‘Hub of Hope’ which supports four local charities in Port Elizabeth — Cleft Friends a project of the Smile Foundation, Project Hope, Shepherd’s Field Rehabilitation Centre and Word of Faith Missions.
