One of the great parts of set up is working alongside others and getting to know them a bit. During the actual conference it was wonderful to catch up with people who I know from different parts of NZ, some I knew while at Riverbend, others I hadn't seen for a long time. Meals times were a great opportunity to catch up and also get to know some new people. The two following photo was taken by a friend, Levinia.
Another of the wonderful parts of Impact is the teaching sessions. Both the singing and teaching were great. There are many things that I have learnt and much to process to apply in my life. This year the conference title was "A Dynamic Body - The purpose, priorities and practices of the local church". I am thinking about what can I be doing differently as being a part of the body of Christ; in listening to sermons, giving and relating to others - being a part of others growing to be more like Christ.
