Former principal of Shortwood Teachers’ College Elaine Foster-Allen will be among the 25 women of faith to participate in the “Woman Arise!” conference.
KINGSTON, Jamaica--Amid the raging pandemic, rising reports of domestic violence, rape, brutal murders and global uncertainties, 25 professional women of faith will join hands in the staging of a mega international conference on July 24 and 25.
The conference is being designed to address pressing global and national issues from a Christian viewpoint.
Kencot Christian Fellowship (KCF), with its focus on families, has invited the women, who are faith and career leaders, to posit their ideas under the theme “Women Arise! The Anchor Holds”. The presenters are being drawn from Jamaica, the wider Caribbean, Africa and North America.
As the coronavirus threatens a third wave, women – who continue to bear the brunt of familial duties – are faced with the added responsibilities of work and children learning from home and, in many cases, job loss and or income reduction.
Added to these challenges are a suspected increase in cases of domestic violence, rape and abuse.
“Woman Arise! The Anchor Holds” is a follow-on to the first staging “Woman Arise…Reset” which was held two years ago. It is a virtual event which will be accessible on all major social media platforms and on the gospel television station MTM TV (Mercy and Truth Ministries Television) on Flow channels 601 & 671, Digicel’s channel 19 and Logic One Limited’s channel 745.
MTM TV broadcasts in 24 Caribbean countries including Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, the Bahamas, Antigua, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It will also air in parts of the African continent. ~ Jamaica Observer ~
