Leadership Conference 2020 [REGISTRATION CLOSED]

Greetings to you in the Mighty and Exalted name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I
also extend to you and your fellowship many blessings for the Christmas season.

I am once again excited to issue you and your entire leadership team an invitation to the
Eastern Canada’s 2020 Leadership Conference. It will be held on Saturday, January
25th, 2020. This conference has become an annual gathering for Eastern Canada’s leaders
to focus on the development of the critical practices necessary to bring the Leadership
Development vision for this region to fruition. Also, it is an opportunity for us as leaders
to be inspired, empowered and refreshed so that we may continue to do His will.

Each year, the Leadership Development session strives to equip and empower leaders for
the challenges of ministry, as well as to rejuvenate and motivate you to have a greater
impact on your congregation and the community in which you serve. This year is no
exception. Our hope for this year’s conference is to give you an opportunity to deepen
your understanding of “Christian Discipleship,” as we seek to “Develop Authentic
Disciples of Jesus Christ.”

The main scripture for the conference is: Matthew 28:19-20— “Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and
lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

We anticipate some of the outcomes from this year’s conference will be:

➢ To Develop A Model of Discipleship
➢ To Understand the Biblical Basis for Discipleship
➢ To Explore the Goal of Discipleship
➢ To Consider the Cost of Discipleship
➢ To Discover the Support of Discipleship
➢ To Embody the Process of Discipleship

I would recommend that you extend a personal invitation to all members of your leadership
team, seasoned existing leaders, leaders in training, emerging leaders and youth to accompany
you to this conference. This will help in achieving one of our conference goals of providing a
platform for new and emerging leaders to participate on a national level.

As you make preparations to attend, please be mindful that the cost of the conference is $65.00
per person. In order to encourage our youth to attend, a special youth rate of $50.00 will apply to
any youth application. The fee includes some light refreshments and a lunch. The early
registration deadline is Wednesday, January 15th, 2020. A late fee of $15.00 will apply after
the due date. Please help me and the Administrative Office team to prepare for your attendance
by completing and submitting the attached registration package. Should you have any questions,
please contact myself or the Administrative Office for further conference information. I look
forward to seeing you all. The location of the conference will be at The Living Arts Centre,
4141 Living Arts Drive, Mississauga. ON L5B4B8.

Yours in His Service,
Leola Sullivan
