Newfrontiers have been inviting students to the Brighton Conference for the last five conferences. Over the years I have watched these times grow from students simply signing up for the main conference (the only student-specific part being the seminars recommended for students), to 1100 of us gathering in the Clarendon Centre for half the week, whilst still enjoying many of the main sessions in the Brighton Centre. What a difference four years make.
On Friday night I wrote down how I found the week. The first line started "What a week; What a God!" This summarises it for me!
I never cease to be amazed at how, though our vision and values are well-established and we would therefore not expect to hear anything "new" at such a conference, God continues to use it to reveal, and re-reveal his purposes for this family of churches! How helpful it is to be reminded of why we are doing what we are doing, what the final goal is, and how we are going to get there: church planting.
Over the coming weeks I shall be revisiting the sessions I attended and bringing both a representation of what was said and my own response. As I pointed out in my proposition, this is mainly for my own benefit, but hopefully others may find it interesting. The first post will be on Tom Shaw's opening message to Mobilise last Tuesday morning.
