For the last 10 years or so, every October Long Weekend, I’ve headed down to Victor Harbor to be part of CV Conference. CV Conference is part of a strategy to see faithful and passionate Christian leaders raised up for the growth of God’s church in Adelaide, Australia and around the world. Since we believe that God raises up leaders for his church, CV aims to provide space and opportunities for everyday Christians to consider whether they should be serving God in full-time or part time vocational gospel ministry in Australia or overseas.
One of the things I love about being at CV Conference is the chance to work as a “Coach” helping people assess their gifts, aptitude and personality in order to help them discern the best ways that they can serve God and his church. Over the years I’ve come to the realisation that one of the reasons that many people who could be serving the church in full-time or part-time leadership aren’t doing it, is simply because we haven’t been intentional about helping people think it through.
