RW CONFERENCE 2010

Pastor Joan Hendricks

Wife of Reverend Carl Hendricks and Co-founder of Crystal Ministries.  She is a strong, talented and committed Christian lady - Joan had from the outset - the vision to build a ministry for women that will uplift and empower; not only in terms of the teachings of the Holy book, but also as far as those worldly matters and issues are concerned that affect women’s lives and well-being on a daily basis. She is a person of enormous dignity and presence. She has lived through the birth pains and trauma of  struggle. A struggle not only restricting women in church, but a struggle of women’s emancipation. Religion for Joan is, however more than talk about God, it has to do with living a life of responsibility and liberation.
