Summit 2010

REGISTRATION CLOSED

It's the end of the world as we know it.

The study of The End Times is called ‘Eschatology’. No area of Christian study produces such varying and heretical views. At Summit we will be guided by the Bible, reading passages in context and comparing these to others. We are confident that what God reveals about the future is surprisingly straight-forward! Even more clear is how God wants us to live in light of the end…

Come to SPRTE!

Each year, the AFES National Training Event sees students from all over Australia meeting together to study God’s word and learn to put it into practice. This year, NTE goes international. We have the privilege of hosting the South Pacific Regional Training Event for Fiji, Vanuatu, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Australia.

The theme is Cross + Culture: it is the cross of Christ that is the centre of God’s plan. And it is the cross that both transforms and crosses our cultures.

SPRTE has two parts:

Conference: 29 November – 3 December 2008, ANU, Canberra.
Mission: 3 – 7 December 2008, the Bendigo team is going to Frankston!

We will learn from God’s word together in our main meetings, study the word closely in smaller Strand groups, and be challenged to sharpen our ministry skills in workshops. SPRTE is capped off by a short mission with partner churches, where we will put everything we’ve learned into practice.

Join students from all over the South Pacific to be enriched as we study the cross of Christ! If you are interested in coming, please talk to Di or contact us to receive a special discount on registration.
