Stand Strong Women's Conference
The Packinghouse Church in Redlands
will present an impressive lineup of remarkable women speakers at the Stand
Strong Women's Conference to be held Friday, October 11 from 7 to 9 p.m. and
Saturday, October 12 from 9 to 12 p.m. Highlights include an interview with Naghmeh
Abedini, wife of the
Iranian-born American Pastor Saeed Abedini, whose imprisonment in Iran over the
last year has drawn national attention. Billy
Graham and others throughout the nation have written letters to Iranian
President Hassan Rouhani calling for his release. Even President Barack Obama
addressed the issue during recent talks with the Iranian President, asking
for his immediate release. Naghmeh’s only appearance in the Inland Empire will offer thoughts and encouragement on how
to “stand strong in a hostile world.” (Ephesians 6:13) Other speakers include Sandra Hansen, wife of
one of the Navy Seals involved in the capture of Osama Bin Laden, along with pastors’
wives Jean McClure, Johanna Hale and Cathy Caldwell. Musical performances feature renowned
Christian musicians Kim
Hill and Chelsea Moon. There is no
charge to attend. Childcare will also be provided. The conference will be in the main sanctuary of the Packinghouse Church
at 27165 West San Bernardino
Avenue, Redlands. For more information, please call the Packinghouse Church
