We’re back!

and ready to roll for Connect Training Conference 2010

We’ve sifted through all your feedback from last year and have tried really hard to take make 2010 even better - we’ve booked ourselves a bigger campsite, added an extra day for breathing room, lined up the best Deuteronomy speaker in the world and even made sure the ladies’ rooms have adequate bathroom facilities! Be sure to get in early though as places are still limited – check the rego page for current availability

And don’t forget, we’ve expanded to two Strands this year: First time at Connect Training Conference? Welcome. You’ll be after Strand 1. Came along last year? Make sure you select Strand 2.

Also this year we’re running a Day Workshop for Pastors, Deacons and Elders with a focus on “Multiplying Ministries – Beyond Maintenance.”

Finally, we are still just a fledgling ministry but we’re really hoping (God willing) to work in partnership with your church to see generations of leaders being grown and trained for ministry across God’s church. We’re keen to partner with your church to be sure we are relevant and catering to your needs – be sure to let us know if you’re interested.

Thank you to everyone who came to Connect Training Conference 2009.

The feedback (yes, we’ve read every single form) has been overwhelmingly positive and we are humbled to be part of God’s work in the ministry.

Special thanks to all the Mike Raiter for challenging us all from his word (we hope many renewed lattes will be shared) and the God’s message shared was, dare we say, ‘awesome’. Thank you also to all the strand leaders for faithfully teaching us how to better read and teach the bibles.

It is our humble prayer that this is merely the beginning of a Melbourne wide movement, and only one small part of a global movement, to see God’s word taught, leaders and teachers grown and lives transformed for the sake of the gospel. We want to encourage all those who attended to not keep the lessons learned bottled up, but to share it. Teach it. Preach it. So that His kingdom might increase in your immediate circles and throughout the generations.

We’re still organising the details for Connect Training Conference 2010, but the dates are already locked in: Friday 17 Sept (evening) to Monday 20 Sept (afternoon). Register your interest and we’ll let you know when more details become available. Also if you think this would be of benefit for the leaders of your whole church, let us know and we’ll be more than happy to arrange for someone to share about Connect Ministry with your pastors.

Finally, thank you God – for rescuing us from death to life. May we be faithful and fruitful with what you have entrusted to us. Amen.

All the details are finalised and registrations for Connect Training Conference 2009 are now open.

Be sure to get in quick as places are limited (check the training conference page for current availability).

Also we’ve finished our Ministry Info pamphlet and the printable copy of the the Connect Training Conference 2009 registration. Be sure to check them out.

Finally, we are just a fledgling ministry but we’re hoping (God willing) to see generations of leaders being grown and trained for ministry across God’s church. We’re looking to partner with your church to be sure we are relevant and catering to your needs – be sure to let us know if you’re interested.

Many thanks to Mark Raiter for speaking at our first ever Connect Training Conference in 2009. The theme he will be presenting is “On Solid Ground’, taking us through four Christian teachings which changed the world: Grace alone, Faith alone, Christ alone and Bible alone.

Looking forward to it.

We’ve added content to the About and Events pages and… well all over the place really – have fun reading all about it! Check back soon for further details and don’t forget to register your church interest through the Partners page.
