MID-YEAR & YEAR-END CONFERENCES

MID-YEAR CONFERENCE
We hope we have all enjoyed and have also been blessed during the recent mid-year Conferences held in our respective Chapters. It is our fervent hope that a number of EXCO members, particularly those assigned to your Chapters, did support you during the said conferences. For those who will still be having their mid-year conferences we would wish God’s blessings.

However, in the interim we would like to solicit your views on what each Chapter wants included therein. Further, we would like to be reminded that this year’s conference is the 35th ‘birthday’ for SDASA, and as such we would like to solicit your views on what you would like included in our programme.Your chapter input shall be appreciated if they could reach the Secretariat by 31st October 2002.

The theme of this year’s conference is “WILL HE FIND FAITH …. WHEN HE COMETH”.

Please include these speakers in your prayer roster, and the conference as a whole.

As part of the 35th birthday celebration we would like to advise the constituency that we would be selling calendars, brochures and booklets during the year-end conference to commemorate same, and as such your anticipated support in purchasing these items is appreciated.

Lastly, we are mindful that this conference shall coincide with the elections of new EXCO members to lead the organisation during 2003 and 2004. We would like to urge everyone to prayerfully think about the new leadership thereof.

May the Almighty bless us as we prepare for our year-end conference.
