The Acts 1:8 Renewal Weekend

The purpose of the Acts 1:8 Renewal Weekend is to provide church members with a biblical presentation of Acts 1:8 and to show how this passage applies to our current cultural climate. Our desire is to inspire an interest in intentional missions in all areas of the world exactly as described in Acts 1:8.

The Acts 1:8 Challenge: Empowering the Church to Be On  Mission, by Nate Adams, is a weekend conference conducted by visiting team members and led by a visiting Church Renewal Journey Coordinator. The weekend follows the Church Renewal Journey format, so that planning for the weekend will be essentially the same as preparation for a Lay Renewal Weekend.
