Highlights of Leadership Conference 2025

I have just returned from 3 days away at the annual Leadership Conference organised by the Commission family of churches in Bournemouth. It was brilliant. So many good things, so many good sessions, so many good and challenging reports from around the world. So many precious friends. Whilst the conference was hosted by Commission many individuals, churches and spheres were welcomed and represented. Newfrontiers is a global family of churches. Vinu (India) brought faith each time he took to the floor; Rachel Wilson (Eastbourne) dropped a stunning Compassion bomb on Day 1; Chris Hawes (Woking) wins the prize for the funniest preach; Dave Devenish (Bedford) was in vintage form - Sent, Sent & Sent (!) with compelling stories; Mike Betts & Ian Hodgson helped us so much thinking about Prophetic Culture; stories from around the globe where believers are under great pressure and persecution is real were sobering and humbling; and Bournemouth beach in the heatwave was a short walk! Next year Winchester...
