INSPIRE CONFERENCE
Inspire SA is the perfect place to gain encouragement, discernment, and connections with like-minded thinkers in the fields of evangelism, church planting, inter-cultural mission and neighbourhood engagement. It will be full of people who are eager to serve and represent Jesus in their context – which is why we want you there!
This year at Inspire, we have gathered a line-up of passionate, experienced, creative speakers to encourage and spur you on in your own mission context. This will include Baptist World Aid’s Marbuen Diaz (church planting), Julie-anne Laird (evangelism), Geoff Maddock (neighbourhood engagement), and Luke & Rachel Hutchinson (inter-cultural mission). We are excited for them to share with you over 2 days of sessions, electives, great food and coffee.
Choose to attend full-time, or come along for one day if that’s what suits your schedule.
