Creating Effective Ministry Seems Harder Than Ever.  It’s also more crucial than ever.

August 20-21, 2024

OM EFFEKTIEWE BEDIENINGE TE SKEP IS MOEILIKER AS OOIT TE VORE.

DIT IS OOK MEER KRITIES AS OOIT TE VORE.

Each week, you feel the weight of creating messages and ministries to guide the fearful, lost, and hurting. You do it while navigating divisive social and political issues, staying on budget, balancing ministry and family life, and (hopefully) fostering your own faith too.

So, why do it?

Because you, like us, believe the answer is Jesus.

And that’s why we do Drive Conference! We’re building two days full of inspiration, equipping, and an opportunity to refuel for your ministry road ahead! Your job is simply to get here! We have some new ideas we’ve tried since the pandemic, lessons we’ve learned in the process, and practical tools to help your ministry (and teams!) be healthier and more effective.

Time to fuel up, have fun and let us serve you Drive South Africa 2024!

  • Four main sessions of powerful worship and teaching
  • Connection with other church leaders just like you
  • Breakout sessions full of helpful content and inspiration for your team

Weekliks dra jy die verantwoordelikheid om boodskappe en bedieninge te skep om verlorenes, asook mense met vrees en seer te begelei. Dit nog terwyl jy terselfdetyd die verdeeldheid van sosiale en politieke kwessies moet navigeer, binne die begroting moet bly, ‘n balans tussen bediening en familietyd moet handhaaf, asook (hopelik) jou eie geloof te kweek.

So, hoekom doen jy dit?

Dit is omdat jy, nes ons, glo dat Jesus die antwoord is.

En dit is die rede vir Drive Konferensie! Ons werk aan twee dae propvol inspirasie, bemagtiging, en ‘n geleentheid om te herlaai en jou tenk vol te maak vir jou bedieningspad vorentoe! Jou taak is eenvoudig om hier uit te kom! Ons het ‘n paar nuwe idees wat ons na die pandemie aan gewerk het, lesse wat ons deur die proses geleer het, asook praktiese hulpmiddels om jou bediening (en spanne!) meer gesond en effektief te maak.

DIS TYD OM VOL TE MAAK, PRET TE HÊ, EN TOE TE LAAT DAT ONS JOU BEDIEN BY DRIVE SUID-AFRIKA 2024!

  • Four main sessions of powerful worship and teaching
  • Connection with other church leaders just like you
