October 3rd, 2015 - Angelus Temple – 1100 Glendale Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026

T hroughout the Bible, when God’s people faced the most difficult obstacles, challenges, or enemies, his instructions were simple: “Stand.” Over and over God promises our deliverance, and all we need to do is to get in position to see him to work a miracle.

At this year’s Ascend Conference we know that the key to our victory is to put ourselves in relationship with the one who can change everything.

What do you need to stand for this year? What challenges are you facing that only God can overcome? Join us, as together we discover when, where, and how we can position ourselves to triumph in our personal lives, our relationships, our career, and our calling.

There’s an old saying: “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.”

SUSAN WEHBA and her husband of 45 years, C. Frederick Wehba, moved to Beverly Hills, CA from Dallas, Texas in 1989. They have four wonderful sons and five amazing grandchildren. Since their marriage they have dedicated their philanthropic efforts to the cause of Christ.

They have planted churches including In Christ Church and Westside

Shepherd of the Hills as well as assisting other church plants and ministries. They are deacons of Bel Air Presbyterian Church. Susan has served on several charity and church boards including

In Christ Church, Associates for Breast Cancer Studies, Sonance, and

Young Musicians Foundation. They are also supporters of many other ministries and charities including InTouch Ministries, the Southern

Baptist Mission Board, Childhelp and St. Jude. Susan’s background is in Interior Design. She is an event planner, fundraising host, and small group leader.

ASCEND 2015 - Are you ready to stand?

The Ascend Women’s Conference is an independently produced event not associated with any one church, group, or association.

It is produced by women for women to inspire, educate, and propel women to make positive changes in their personal lives, their families’ lives, and in their careers. It is designed to inspire all women to grow in their faith in God.

Co-Directors of the conference include a veteran group of women dedicated to helping other women achieve the kind of life change that can only come from a deeper relationship with God.

The Co-Directors include:

—ISIK ABLA, international speaker, author, TV host Isik Abla Ministries.

“I feel so honored that I get to be a part of the Ascend Conference for women in LA - Fearless Joy! I know this will inspire, educate, and empower the amazing, world-changing women throughout L.A. to “Ascend” beyond their fears and break barriers for success in their families, careers ,personal and spiritual lives. So, bring it on!”

—JENNIFER ROTHSCHILD, Founder of Jennifer Rothschild Ministries / Publisher WomensMinistries.net

I am beyond thrilled to speak at the 2013 Ascend Conference, and to join with women who are ready to seize God’s vision and direction for their lives! The spiritual implications of coming together to explore the power of “Fearless Joy” should not be underestimated. If you’re ready to break the barrier of fear in your life, you belong at Ascend!

“Every woman will benefit from the Ascend conferences’ high quality message of love, hope and redemption through renewal in Jesus Christ. We are not left alone without answers to our problems. The ASCEND conference connects women with other women as together we advance in newness of life in Christ. Attending the Ascend conference will benefit both you and those you love.”

—MICHELE BACHMANN, Congresswoman

“Ascend will be a gathering that is sure to be transformational as women are encouraged, challenged and given practical tools to pursue their God-given destiny. I’m thrilled at the opportunity to share my victories and vulnerabilities—all for His glory. No woman should miss this!”
