2012 Mighty Men Conference OF Northern KwaZulu-Natal
Welcome to our 2012 Mighty Men Conference website for Northern KZN.
We will be hosting our second Mighty Men Conference on the Farm Lentevlei, just 8 kilometers outside of Newcastle. This is the same venue as we used last year.
Once again, the conference has been put together and organized by the Newcastle Ministers Network.
Our vision remains to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our guest speaker over the weekend is Peter Pollock, the legendary fast bowler of the Springbok Cricket era of the sixties.
Peter has been in Christian ministry for over 30 years and is a sought after speaker all over the country. The Newcastle Ministers Network had no hesitation in asking Peter to come back again this year after his powerful ministry to our men and their families last year.
We invite you to bring your friends with you, both churched and un-churched, to join us at this beautiful venue and draw closer to our God and King over a weekend of ministry, laughter and fun.
It remains the great desire of our hearts that men all over our country draw closer to Jesus in a deeper and more meaningful relationship with Him. It is the revealed will and plan of God that we grow in him and that we be transformed into His image on an ongoing basis. If you have such a longing within you, this is the place for you to be!
Tickets are available through CompuTicket. Both Checkers and Shopright stores have Computicket facilities from where tickets may be purchased. The cost is R100.00 per person, whether you come for one or two days.
There is no charge for those coming to the Sunday morning service where, as per tradition, the conference is open to the wives and children.
Be sure to follow us on Facebook.
