About the Arise Women’s Conference

At Arise, our determination is for our conferences to be unique. Our aim is for women from all walks of life to be exposed to beauty and excellence in our music, arts, decor and every other aspect, from the moment they set foot on the property until the moment we leave. Not to merely have a series of blessed meetings with ‘big name’ speakers, but that Arise should be an experience where women know that they are valued,  where sisterhood is experienced in a real way and women are mentored. Anointed and inspiring speakers and meetings are certainly a part of this though! By God’s grace we achieve our mission and look forward to what God has planned for us each year!

The founder of non- profit organisation, Project Hope, visionary of the Arise Women’s Conference, and co-visionary of Word of Faith Christian Centre, Pastor Mariana Crompton has a passion to better the lives of women, children, and families in Port Elizabeth, the home of the Arise Women’s Conference.

“I arise after Arise! I have a new drive for life. I am reminded of who I am in Christ. It’s a time to let the shackles fall and chains be broken which enables me to take flight again.” Cindy Von Wielligh

Invite your girlfriends to a weekend of fun and fellowship with amazing coffee, delicious eats, beauty treatments and a wonderful atmosphere. Arise is the best place to wind down from the buzz of life and to focus on your own life, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Come and enjoy the journey, you won’t be sorry.
