Change Agents Weekend Conference in August 2008

CHANGE AGENTS 2008
Youth Leader Training Experience
15-17 August at YFC Cyara (Magaliesberg)

Just before He ascended to heaven, Jesus gave His followers one final and very strategic directive!  He said, “Make disciples!” So prolific were these early Christians that they “turned the world upside down!”   All over the world, God is calling youth leaders back to His original strategy. For the Church to fulfill God’s mission, we simply must “make disciples!”  But the big question youth leaders face is “How do we effectively disciple young people in today’s very different world?”

To address this important challenge, Change Agents invites you to one of the most strategic youth leader conferences ever held in South Africa.   Join 200 other youth pastors and leaders 15-17 August at YFC Cyara for “About the Father’s Business” - a challenging, innovative, and empowering weekend on the ‘how to’s of authentic biblical discipleship!

At Change Agents 2008, you will…

• Grasp the mind-blowing significance of Jesus’ discipleship strategy
• Gain practical insight into the objectives, principles and practices of transformational discipleship
• Evaluate your own life and ministry and identify areas for improvement
• Engage with other leaders in a process of discovering the essential “how to”s  of effective discipleship (as modeled by Jesus)
• Learn how to design discipleship processes that result in real life-change
• Work together with God and your team to design a transformational discipleship process for your own unique ministry context.

NB: Change Agents 2008 is specifically designed to train teams of 3 or more leaders from the same church or ministry context (although individuals are welcome to attend!).  The conference features innovative, creative, highly participative training intentionally designed to stimulate practical learning and motivate maximum transfer into your life and ministry context.  By the end of the weekend, you will be much better equipped to develop discipleship processes that change young lives. Back by popular demand, the programme includes our late night coffeeshop, renamed The Brew’n Bean (i.e. ‘the thinking brain’)! Whether you are an experienced youth leader… or just got thrown into the deep end, this conference is definitely for you!

The conference cost of R390 per person includes accommodation with your team, meals, notes, and a resource CD packed with video content, music, notes, discipleship books/courses, and other helpful material.  If you come from a disadvantaged community, call or email us and we can talk.
