A Lifetime in the Ministry

The theme for this year’s conference is A Lifetime in Ministry. The three main sessions will focus on Starting Out, Pressing On, and Finishing Well. The topics to be taken up at the other sessions will complement these and help to fill out the picture of what a fruitful and God-honouring gospel ministry looks like over the long-haul and how we can both achieve it and maintain it.

It seems hardly possible to overstate the importance of this subject. Our adversary the devil is busy at every stage of our life-work, seeking to discourage and destroy. Through every phase of it, too, we have to carry a heart that is only too susceptible to sin and error. Many have begun well and sadly fallen. Others are weary and ready to throw in the towel. For the glory of God and the blessing of others we want to be among the many who have pressed on, notwithstanding their struggles and temptations, and have finished well. It is the prayer of the conference organisers that through our days together the Lord will be pleased to help us to that end.
