From Dave Male:
... the forthcoming Breakout Gathering for Pioneers is the third such event designed to support all those who are involved as practitioners in pioneer ministry. It will be at High Leigh Conference Centre (Hoddesdon) from 21-23 September ... as always there will be plenty of time for pioneers to meet and learn from each other .
Lots of people have already signed up for the Breakout gathering, which is great news. For those who haven't there are still places available, so if you were thinking of going then please do join us. It is a great event so do also encourage those in your networks to attend.
