The Pan-African Vineyard Leaders’ Conference 2009 took place from September 14th to 18th at CYARA Conference centre at Hekpoort, near Magaliesberg. For the first time in several years we moved the conference there to make access easier and less costly for delegates from the other nations who would attend. We wondered how the move would affect attendance, and also set about asking for sponsorship to help us cover the costs and keep the conference affordable for as many as possible to attend. We needn’t have worried! Pre-conference sign up was the biggest ever, from the highest number of nations (22) ever, and our sponsorship goals were reached to make it very affordable indeed. I want to thank them again, from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of all who attended. Materials, transport costs for leaders, registration subsidies, books and even the final night’s dinner were paid for by these wonderful people who are gifts of God to us.

“Taking it to the streets: The church has left the building”
“Can you imagine an environment where the poor are welcomed, the sick are healed and the lost are found… where everyone engages in mission, infecting their community with the Kingdom in their daily routine of life? Imagine your own region alive to the glory of God, encountering Him through His people and awakened to the glory of God, encountering Him through His people and awakened to His reality among them. Imagine healing, signs and wonders OUT THERE among the people as you impact your community with Kingdom power and authority. If you can imagine this… then you are ready to discover just what happens when the church leaves the building.”
“Come join us for this ‘hands on’ conference that enables you to learn how to live a life of extreme risk unleashing the potential of your church to fulfil her mission.”
Speaker: Mark Marx from Northern Ireland (Causeway Coast Vineyard)

Vukani - National Youth Camp
The Vineyard National Youth Camp (called Vukani, meaning “awake”) will be held in Jeffrey’s Bay from 6 – 10 January 2010. It is open to all Vineyard churches (and in fact all churches) and we’re hoping some of your young people would like to join us. We are aiming it at teenagers and students (and their leaders) and the cost is R350 (excluding transport to JBay).
The theme for the camp is “Doing the stuff”! All ministry will be in-house and we are very expectant for God to do some great things amongst our young people. There have been some great testimonies of the impact last years camp had on the individuals and groups involved. We are hoping for more of the same!
