Youth Leader Development Conference.

This key Professional Development Seminar will help you to build appropriate foundations for your youth ministry.

The South African Theological Seminary would like to offer you the opportunity to book time with this speaker, to spend personal time in your own environment with your leaders and potential leaders.

We are planning the SATS conference differently this year – instead of hosting a conference where delegates attend a single venue, we believe it would be of more benefit to local churches to have our speaker, Tim Hawkins present the training in their local churches.

Often church leaders are not able to spare time during the week to attend a conference and so lose the opportunity to meet really interesting and experienced Christian ministers. We believe Tim’s ministry is critical for developing young people and are therefore offering local churches the opportunity to book him for a personal session with their leaders and pastors.

We are asking only for a contribution to Tim’s travel costs from each church that he visits.

Please contact Jenny Mason – 011 234 4440 or jenny@sats.edu.za for more information.

TIM HAWKINS

Tim Hawkins is one of the most experienced Christian Youth pastors in Australia. He has been a full-time youth pastor in a local church for almost 30 years. He is currently the Youth Pastor Emeritus at St. Pauls Anglican Church, Castle Hill, in Sydney Australia. Where he has worked with youth and young people to help them achieve their potential, reach full maturity as adults of integrity, and reach spiritual fulfillment.

Tim's passion is to see high-schoolers become fervent disciples of Jesus. He planted and built the "Crossfire" youth ministry at Castle Hill, which is one of the most fruitful local church youth ministries in Australia. Every one of Tim's resources has grown out of his local church's youth ministry. Tim writes this material and speaks powerful messages to meet real needs. His books and resources are revolutionising youth ministry around the world, and are now being used as training manuals in many bible colleges.

Tim is a great believer in what Christian high-schoolers can accomplish in their own ministry at their own high school. Tim regularly speaks at local churches, youth ministries and conferences to encourage biblical models of youth ministry. But much of his focus remains in his own church - both to the congregation at large as well as to the youth.
