In one weekend, build something for a real ministry need, alongside people who care about people. Beginners and first-timers welcome.About this Event
Make a real difference with people who care, and be transformed in the process.
Over one weekend at Power to Change in Woolloongabba, you'll join a small team, meet a real ministry partner with a real problem, and prototype something useful for them, with mentors beside you the whole way.
This year's partners and projects
Living Wholeness, with founder Dr John Warlow For 20+ years, Living Wholeness has trained pastors, coaches and counsellors across 16 nations in Australia, Asia and Africa. John developed the Christian Wholeness Framework, a biblical diagnostic and therapeutic process for small groups, pastoral care and mission. The project: an AI-based tool to help the Living Wholeness community learn the framework and sharpen their counselling skills.
Power to Change, with Tim Fryer (Church Movements) Part of a global missional network in 190+ countries. NCLS research shows 80% of Australians will remain unreached if we rely on current methods to grow the church. Tim's team trains and mentors pastors to start multiplying movements. The project: a tool to support the year-long mentoring of pastors in movement building.
Jesus Film Project Australia, with Young Goh The project: a tool to help church members build faith habits and rhythms as disciples of Jesus, helping churches strengthen discipleship and mentoring.
