2017 Fall Conference - Transform

The 2017 Fall Conference was held in Malenovice, Czech Republic on September 25-29. The theme was “Transform: Teach Like Jesus.” Followers of Jesus are commanded to be teachers (Matt. 28:19-20) - it’s an essential skill to making disciples. This conference helped people understand the importance of effective and transformational teaching, and it gave them time to sharpen their skills by practicing methods we see Jesus use throughout the New Testament.
