W omen's Role ...in the Body of Christ Ladies from as far away as Welkom and Pretoria gathered together at Golden Harvest for the Women's Seminar, 25th – 27th July.

We have all come to anticipate the warm welcome from those at Golden Harvest and we were not disappointed. Throughout the weekend, we were over-fed and pampered! The highlight was the delicious candle-light dinner on Saturday night! We owe huge thanks to all those at Golden Harvest who invest heart and soul in making it the wonderful retreat it is. We all know the blessings of our leadership (who are also not above waiting on the ladies at table when the need arises!) and the spiritual investment they make in our lives.
