Reach Out : 18-20 August 06





Reach Out is on again ... Reach Out is a conference at Katoomba all about MISSION!!!

Reach Out offers you the opportunity to learn about key issues in world missions today as you join interactive discussions and listen to talks given by informed speakers. Consider the role of Christians in reconciliation as Phil Nicholson addresses this year's Reach Out theme. Hear testimonies from people just like you who have been involved in mission in amazing places! Wander through the mission displays and talk to the mission representatives of over 60 mission agencies and Bible Colleges ... you can ask all the hard questions when you meet representatives at each of their stands and displays. Pray for the world and praise God in song with hundreds of other like minded, mission focussed brothers and sisters in Christ!

Reach Out has 2 main guest speakers :

Phil Nicholson has been Field Director of OMF Taiwan, leading missionaries to share the gospel in creative ways with Taiwan's unreached working class and plant contextually relevant churches. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience in mission and Asian cultures.

Omar Djoeandy is "CIA" = Chinese ethnically, born in Indonesia and an Australia since he was 10yrs old. He also studied and worked in Kenya for over 12 years. He has worked with SIM in Africa since 1983. In 1986 he went to Kenya to study at Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology (NEGST). In 1998, Omar was invited to join the staff as the only non-Kenyan pastor at Nairobi Chapel and then in 2002 to be the Australian Director of SIM.

In the afternoon on Saturday, you will elect to study a 2+ hr workshop from a selection of key mission areas. Each workshop will be facilitated by experienced teams and be hands-on. Gain some essential mission skills for Australia and overseas. These workshops are an opportunity for you to work with experts on getting the skills for language learning, or advocacy, witnessing to Muslims or Chinese religionists, leading short-term missions, getting your local church motivated ... and more!
