Seminar: Is there any power in praying for people in other countries?

Friday November 20, 2026 5:00pm - 5:45pm GMT

Vox 5

We are often called - and call young people - to pray for people, churches, conflicts and other issues in countries around the world. But does this really make a difference - especially if it prevents us from taking action?

Seminar: The Power of Everyday Miracles

Saturday November 21, 2026 2:00pm - 2:45pm GMT

Vox 5

The same power that raised Jesus from the grave is in us, and our young people. So often we leave healing prayer to moments of desperation or ministry moments at big events. Let Chloe inspire, equip and challenge you to bring healing prayer into your own everyday and your youth ministry.

Gospel Communication with Teenagers - What's working, what's needed?

Saturday November 21, 2026 4:00pm - 4:45pm GMT

Vox 5

At the heart of much youth ministry is a desire to communicate the gospel well with young people, but how often do we think about the task together with other Christian youth leaders? This seminar details three vital aspects of this task and looks at how to put them into practice whatever your context for youth ministry. Flowing from research carried out among experienced Christian youth workers we will explore the core opportunities and challenges in gospel communication, as well as detail the way that embodied practice, engaging creativity & imagination, and holding space to reflect theologically with other youth leaders can enhance your youth work and ministry.
