52 leaders from Caversham Community Church, Cornerstone International Bible Church, Elles Road Bible Chapel, Orwell Street Church, Riverside Chapel, Rosedale Bible Chapel and Anchorage Church came together for the Otago/Southland Summit on Saturday at Riverside Chapel in Henley, outside of Dunedin.
A huge thank you to Stafford Ferguson and the other elders from Riverside Chapel for your hosting and hospitality.
Across the day I really enjoyed the sense of extended family. It was encouraging to hear from Graeme Hillas from Elles Road Bible Chapel and the young men he is discipling each week as they work through Romans. I loved hearing from Stafford Ferguson about Riverside Chapel's ministry to prisoners and the number who have made the church home. It was lovely to hear about the Women’s Ministry at Rosedale Bible Chapel and the events and activities being planned by Anne Pask.
A big thank you to Simon Sim (Cornerstone International Bible Chapel) for keeping our eyes on Jesus, through his death and resurrection from the Bible. It was so good for my heart.

Our vision is to see churches (and the regional campsites and national ministries that serve them) working together to point people to Jesus through the gospel from the Bible. It’s our prayer that from the day new opportunities and possibilities will be explored to make this happen.
