About Beauty for Ashes

This inter-denominational, Christian women’s conference was founded in South Africa in 1996. From small beginnings, it has grown to be one of the leading women’s conferences in South Africa, bringing out overseas speakers, authors and performing artists of the highest calibre. The aim is always to inspire and encourage women in their faith using “real” women to communicate their faith with humour and grace. It is a great place for “seekers” to come as the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Friends, fellowship, food, fun, great music, great speakers and gifts galore make this a really special conference!

WHO WE ARE

Beauty for Ashes is an inter-denominational, faith-based, non-profit organisation bringing encouragement and hope to women in southern Africa. We want women to know just how much God loves them and to leave our conferences feeling uplifted, encouraged and inspired, and able to grow in faith through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

We do this by having ‘real women’ share their stories, honestly and with humour, about how God helps them deal with ‘real’ issues. We offer first-rate conferences and also resources, books and a dynamic website.

OUR SLOGAN:   Real women   Real lives   Real faith
