Surge Conference 2011, run by RICE, is on in a couple of weeks. It’s a great conference for Christians aged 16 and above to help them think through how they can serve in their local church. They have an emphasis on helping people to find their gifts and how they can be used among the People of God.
Justin Moffatt and Steve Chong will be the main speakers. Jonathan Pratt, Tim Adeney, Greg Clarke, Murray Smith and Dave Miers will each be running electives.
It’s is on 4-6 February. Go check out the website for more info and to register!
See below for the blurb on my elective:
The last 10 years have seen radical changes in the way we communicate and connect via online social networks. Is Facebook, Twitter and Blogging just a waste of time? Is it just another distraction from the important things in life? It can be. But it shouldn’t. This elective will help you to see how online mediums can be used as a tool to be unleashed for good! We will explore its potential use in discipleship, evangelism, prayer, social justice and Christian ministry.
