Our present and future must be anchored in Jesus, Hope for all Nations. Dave Roberts: is a writer, speaker and local church leader based in Eastbourne in the UK.

Monday 1:30pm: Our Secular Context Why is it so hard to bridge the gap and engage with non- Christians? Some of the reasons stem from deep-seated aspects of world view. Knowing the mindset of who we are talking to really helps. This interactive seminar lifts the lid on why engaging non- Christians can be so difficult and from there looks at ways to over come this. Venue: Youth Barn Thursday 7pm: Hopeful Witness in Dark Times At the same time as our European context groans in various crises the rejection of Christian Faith seems to be on the rise. Inspired by Paul s engagement in Athens (Acts 17) Francis will be looking at hopeful witness in the post-christian Environment.

Looking closer at some Bible stories and personal experiences we can learn how to receive Hope from God, from His word and from others. Understanding our calling and responsibility, is a way of becoming an instrument to inspire people, serve our society and this generation.

Tuesday 1:30pm: Church planting in Belgium We plan to share our passion for reaching out to Belgians. What motivates us? What are the opportunities, the needs, the challenges, the vision and the fruits of obedience and of perseverance? In stepping out from our comfort zone, the Hope and Life of God flows through us!

Tuesday 9:15am: Hope in an Age of Uncertainty Our lives and our world are changing faster than ever before. Things we used to trust in now seem fragile.

of levels and with a variety of different actors. Ishak specialises in the different forms of Islam and Christianity. He has written about church planting and dialogue. Wednesday 1:30pm: Reaching Muslims To quote from his writings: The presence of Muslims in Europe is a reality that should enforce any possible Christian concern. Christianity and Islam are two large faiths. Both involve a missionary mandate to be in witness and discussion with others. As Christians work to build the kingdom of God, they need to learn and to relate the message in the context of all spiritual traditions, including that of Muslims. Christians should see Muslims are a part of the European local communities. Muslims struggles deserve Christian involvements. Muslims; the radicals and the moderates, have the right to hear and to experience the Christian message. There should not be any missing faces in the church of Christ. All are invited to become disciples and active members. Venue: Youth Barn Rev Bernard (Ben) Owusu Sachie: was born in Ghana in 1965. He became a Christian whilst at secondary school in October 1982.
