The conference stretches these pastors. We teach them spiritual insights that God has taught us, as well as supplying them with valuable tools for further Bible study and meditation on the Word.
When it’s breaktime in between sessions, pastors take the opportunity to socialize with their peers from all over the Dareda Valley. These conferences have drawn them together and given them opportunity to develop new relationships that cross geographical and even denominational barriers. They enjoy lively conversations, discussing what they are learning and how to apply it in their own churches and communities. It is also a time for rest, some of them even sitting right out in the sun (even in winter coats!), taking a cup of chai, or simply taking a quick nap in the grass.
