Welcome to the church growth conference focusing on the role of the Holy Spirit in church planting, growth, development and revitalisation.
The conference keynote speaker will be Bud Simon, Ph.D, who spent 20 years in the northern Amazon as a missionary and church planter, as well as leading prayer teams serving church leaders, including during last year's Asbury Revival.
In addition to Bud Simon, we will hear from Phil Meadow, Ph. D, who led our church growth conference in 2020, as well as a panel discussion with Estonian church planters.
In a panel discussion Jakob Remmel (3D), Jonatan Lige (Tallinn Communities), Vitali Baranov (EMK), Kristiina Seppel (EELK) and Hele-Maria Kangro (EEKBKL) will share their experiences.
