Welcome to Inspire 2016
Inspire is about growing as disciples and becoming disciples who are more effective at making disciples. That is, bringing more people to God.
Inspire is a time for you, a Seventh-day Adventist disciple, to be inspired, empowered, energised, revitalised, equipped and resourced. It is also a time to fellowship and to develop new friendships.
Our goal is to assist you to be more effective in being a disciple in your home, work place, local church and in your community. As a movement, we are called to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ in the context of the three angels messages to a city that needs to know of a loving Saviour who is returning soon.
