Kids & Teens
The Europe Conference is a family conference, and the Children and Teens programs have always been an integral part of the conference. This year is no different and we are excited to welcome Refuge 139 and Jenn Swift to lead the children and teens program. ...
Cost
The conference team understands that budgets are often tight, so as far as possible, we have tried to keep costs as low as we can. ...
Facilities
Monbachtal is situated in a scenic valley with expansive grounds and offers a variety of ways to relax and enjoy community, including sports, hiking and other recreational activities. A cafe, several chapels and a few rooms of silence are also available. ...
Free Time
There will be a few hours of free time each afternoon in which you can relax, enjoy conversation with other workers or explore the local area. Also one afternoon will be completely free (from lunch until dinner). Like last conference, we will not be organising one official outing, but there are a number of great activities in the area that you can discover with other conference goers.
Program
The program is a balance between general sessions with a speaker, break-out sessions, worship and devotions, time with your National Organisation as well as seminars. Like always there will be time set aside during the day and each evening to relax and spend time catching up with old friends and making new ones. And of course, one afternoon is set aside completely for free time.
Speaker
Hi, I am Denis van der Bijl, born in 1961, married (Reinetta), with three children. Raised in a family where mission and church were a big part of life. ...
Worship
Dave and Lauren Medlicott live in Merthyr Tydfil South Wales with their 3 sons Hudson, Isaiah, and Jesse. ...
Workshops
Europe Conference has an excellent line up of opportunities to learn and grow through the workshops we will offer.
We are excited to offer a range of workshops that cover personal, spiritual, ministry and practical areas that we all face.
Registration
Registration is closed.
What to Bring
The conference centre is well equipped but there are a few items that we'd like to suggest you would want to bring. So read more for the list of things that you should bring with you to the conference. ...
Prayer Groups
We have called our conference Renew and Connect. This name reflects our desire for this conference to be about more than just receiving teaching. We desire that workers experience renewal in their lives. Prayer is not only vital for our life with God; it is also a powerful means to connect with others who understand the challenges of cross-cultural ministry. We will meet again this year in small groups to lift one another up in prayer. More information will be given at the conference.
