CINCINNATI, May 28 /Christian Newswire/ -- Ameerah Lewis announced that her home-based web ministry, www.hem-of-his-garment-bible-study.org, will be hosting a free online Christian conference once again this summer. The day long free Christian web event will take place June 20th, 2009 and will feature Bible teachers and ministers from across the United States.

"Today's technology allows us all to come from miles around, and teach God's Word to hundreds, without even changing out of our PJs!" the excited host explains.

For a ministry run out of a one bedroom Cincinnati apartment, The Hem Bible Studies has a pretty large reach. Over 40,000 people visit the website each month to do their Bible study online, and chat with other Christians.

But, what people really look forward to are The Hem's "live" events -- Ameerah's monthly web-classes and this unique yearly web-conference.

"People love the live events because they give them a chance to shut out the world, without actually leaving their homes. They can just focus on their personal relationship with God."

This year's 'Reaching for the Hem' Web-conference is expected to draw hundreds of attendees for one simple reason: It's free.

And free is definitely a great price point in today's economy. "Between the registration fees for traditional conferences, gas and hotel rooms, a short get-a-way with God can get a bit pricey...but everyone can afford free!"

Though the conference will be hosted online, it comes complete with the little extras we've grown to expect at live events: Welcome bags, giveaways, virtual booths and even exhibits.

"You'd be amazed at what all you can do with technology," Ameerah explains. "Really, the sky's the limit."

With the instability of today's job market and the technology available online, more and more people are making the choice to work from home. Whether they are doing the "Lord's" work, or just their own, the magnitude of this web-event proves that, just because it's called a small business, doesn't mean you can only do small things with it.
