"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
1 Corinthians 1:18
PERSONAL & TEAM REFLECTION
This is an interactive pdf that you can use individually and as a wider ministry team to reflect on your conversations, connections, and what you learned throughout the day at the Auckland Regional Summit.
We recommend taking the time to think and pray about what God is teaching you, both personally, and as a team.
Let us know what you think!
We'd like to hear what you appreciated about Summit, and how we can be improving it for coming years. Our aim is to help you, as church leaders, connect well with each other as you learn together. Please tell us how we can serve you better in this.
