The Navigators Super Saturday November 19^th 2011

An event organised by The Navigators in the West Midlands

-"You shall raise up the foundations of many generations."               Isaiah 58:12 NKJV

It is 41 years since Navs first arrived in the West Midlands and this verse continues to be an inspiration to us. God continues to challenge, strengthen and guide us as we seek to raise up the foundations of new generations from students, to graduates, working people and beyond!

This was our first regional event since The Navigators reorganised into a new structure. The day gave opportunities to connect with past and present generations of Navigators, to see old friends, to be resourced in our mission and personal ministry and to hear about some of the new initiatives and plans of Navs in this region. 

Here was the programme of the day:

The Only Way is...Church Jan McCuin
Jesus left us a Great Commission - to 'go & make disciples'. What does this look like in a local Church? What is a 'disciple' in the 21st Century so we can 'make' one?
