Matt 28:18-20 reminds us to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all the nations, and this is your opportunity to both develop the necessary skills, as well as take the opportunity to put those skills into practice.

The Seminar will be conducted by Revd. Chris Viljoen, the Director of SOMA Southern Africa and he will be assisted by Revd. Trevor Pearce, the Director for Growing the Church, and other experts in this field.
