Naturally Supernatural Activation Conference | November 24-26

 

"The Naturally Supernatural Activation Conference"

November 24-26, 2016

PLEASE NOTE: This conference has been moved to Knox Presbyterian Church in Whakatane..

The conference is called "The Naturally Supernatural Activation Conference" and will be facilitated by Joe Mathews, Danny Smith and Carol Rigby.

Jesus' ministry was supernatural.  He healed the sick, removed burdens and was moved with love and compassion for the lost.

The theme of this conference is to be "Naturally Supernatural" Christians and is based on the call of the Church to be Jesus to the community around us.  We are called to reach out to people in a natural way, through the Spiritual giftings God has given us.

At this conference, believers will be given the opportunity to learn about the gifts God has given them, activate them in a safe environment and practice amongst fellow group participants.  Everyone will then have the opportunity to engage and connect with the local Whakatane community and put ministry into action.  This may include a prophetic word, a specific prayer or praying for healing. It could perhaps be a short gospel message with a person the Lord leads you to share with.

Each participant will have the opportunity to step out according to how they are feeling the Holy Spirit direct them.

Our Hope For You

"As facilitators , our deepest hope is that this conference will be about discovering the giftings that God has given you and activating them.  Through a series of biblical teaching sessions, participants will learn to wait on and hear the voice of the Holy Spirit.  Our desire is for you to receive spiritual insight and promptings and then step out in faith to minister the love of Christ to others.  We trust every participant will experience personal growth in these areas and will return to their local churches or places of influence with a life style of waiting on and hearing the promptings of the Holy Spirit.  That you will will then walk in your God given authority and giftings and do so in a 'naturally supernatural' way.
