Our goal is to bring together missions minded Christians from the Canberra region and beyond to fellowship and net-work together. We see this as an excel-lent opportunity to encourage one an-other in our mission and outreach en-deavours and be inspired and challenged through our keynote speaker’s message.
There will also be an opportunity to con-nect with a number of mission agencies and other organisations with an outreach focus.
The afternoon and evening’s program will be designed to encourage meaningful fellowship and fruitful interaction in a relaxed environment.
The conference is a Mission ACTion Network event. The aim of the Can-berra Mission ACTion Network is to connect mission minded people across Canberra, enabling us to share ideas, re-sources, events, and enthusiasm. Hence we are keen to attract mission minded Christians from all Christian denomina-tions to this conference.
