The Justice Conference 2022 is just over a week away: Saturday 3 September, and it almost looks like a Baptist NZ event with so many Baptists in the line-up!
Justice Conferences bring together thousands of Christ-followers to live out the message of Jesus and transform their communities by making justice a way of life.
The Justice Conference was born out of a simple idea and a compelling paradox — that true life is found when we give our lives away on behalf of others. What if Christians truly lived out the message of Jesus and renewed their communities through our love and practice of authentic justice?
Looks who speaking from our whānau:
- Matt Renata (Te Kāreti Iriiri o Carey / Carey Baptist College) is one of our beloved MCs for the entire day.
- Jordyn Rapana (Te Kāreti Iriiri o Carey / Carey Baptist College) will be both delivering a mainstage talk, and joining the keynote panel for the session on The Voice of Creation / Te Reo o te Orokohanga.
- Brook Turner (Vision West) is speaking as part of a breakout panel discussion on Everyday Justice in Aotearoa.
- Reti Ah-Voa (Northern Baptist Association) is speaking as part of a breakout panel discussion entitled Taking Justice to Church.
- Murray Sheard (Christian Blind Mission) is hosting a panel discussion on disability; and helping coordinate NZ Sign Language for the mainstage sessions!
