March 6, 2025

New Date: 22 March

Due to the impending cyclone and associated weather, we’ve made the decision to postpone the Ministry Conference until March 22 (8.30AM-3.30PM). We are so thankful that Naomi and Mike Bird (along with all of our elective presenters) have been able to confirm their availability for March 22.

We’ve now reopened bookings for March 22. We hope and pray this might give more people an opportunity to make it, so please share the news with people and invite them along. Register online.
