Last friday I visited the venue for the 2009 newfrontiers social action conference in Milton Keynes. The venue is very good with plenty of space for the main sessions as well as the seminars.
The conference will be called 'Remember the Poor' and will take place on Saturday 18th April 2009. The conference brings together 350-400 people who are highly commited to building churches that benefit those in need. The ministries that are covered include Housing, ESOL, debt advice, and pregnancy advice. The title 'Remember the Poor' is taken from Galatians 2:10 and is very significant for newfrontiers because in 1998 Simon Pettit spoke at a Leadership conference on this passage highlighting the importance of our churches engaging in caring for the poor. God changed the movement through Simon's word's. To listen click here. In the last ten years there has been an significant increase in the number of churches who are making a difference to those in need. My desire is that this conference would continue the progress of remembering the poor.
The full program and booking details will be available in the new year.
