Well I’m finally settled in and down to work. The first item on my agenda is helping to organize and find delegates for a children’s ministry conference called Kid Shaper ‘08. It’s a kid’s conference that originated in Australia, and now is making a move to hold similar conferences here in the UK. Kid Shaper UK is organized by Next Level International Children’s Ministry Development. It’s going to be held in a nearby town called Coventry from Nov. 6-8 and has some well-known children’s ministers from the UK and from Australia – John Santostefano (NLI), Rob Bradbury (children’s pastor at Planetshakers Church in Melbourne Australia), Gillian Saunders (UK) Mark Griffiths (UK), David Ritchie – (UK-Scotland), Rick Otto (UK), and Paul Bristow (UK).
A bit from the poster reads: ” Kidshaper conference started in Australia and has become one of Australia’s leading children’s ministry conferences. Kidshaper UK exists to:
-facilitate an apostolic network of like-minded people, united by the cause of children, not by denomination
-create an environment to bring encouragement and hope that each individual can make a difference
-train and inspire the local church in reaching their children
-train and inspire the local church to train and inspire others
- invest into kids ministry in Europe
So it’s going to be a great conference in a few weeks time and we definitely need all the support and prayer that you can give.
Love and blessings to you all -
