Hi Gals,

Here is the Inspire 2013 brochure. Please feel free to email it on to any young ladies you think will benefit. We’re looking forward to being together again and hearing what God has to say. Mum’s and Dad’s we always covet your prayers over this period of time, that this weekend will be MUCH MORE than just a well run event, and that God will be present and speak to each one AS ONLY HE CAN!

Blessings to you from The Inspire Team

Sue J

2 Peter 1:5-15

New International Version (NIV)

⁵ For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; ⁶ and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; ⁷ and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. ⁸ For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.

¹⁰ Therefore, my brothers and sisters,^[a] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, ¹¹ and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

If you can’t download this brochure then please email me barbara@hef.org.nz and I’ll email it to you.
