https://relaunchaustralia.com.au/ As churches have scrambled to adapt to this new season, we’ve been keen to support you, your team, and church throughout this time. Yet it is also important that we begin to recast our vision for making disciples & prepare our churches for meeting in physical gatherings again. That’s why we’re launching a short term initiative to support you & your church during this time. For 10 years, Geneva Push has been supporting churches getting started from the ground up. More recently, Reach Australia has been supporting established churches to become healthy, evangelistic & multiplying churches. Together as a network, we have a wonderful God-given opportunity to see our people spiritually grow and reach the lost across Australia. Kicking off 27 May 2020 with a 2 hour online conference from 10:30am - 12:30pm AEST. Register for free: https://relaunchaustralia.com.au/
