The fourth New Wine Summer Conference in The Netherlands, which had the theme ‘Peace of God’, saw a 30 per cent increase in the number of delegates. More than 1,850 people came to the whole conference, with several hundred visitors each day. As a leadership team we were hugely encouraged by this, because we had taken three steps of faith this year. Firstly, we moved to a new, much bigger venue, which will allow further growth in the future. Secondly, we changed the format from a five-day conference to a full week. Thirdly, we lowered the prices by 25 per cent! 

Speakers included Kjell Axel Johanson, Mark Aldridge and Lin Button, as well as many Dutch speakers. The response of the delegates was overwhelmingly positive. Many gave testimony of meeting with God in various ways. This year we saw more delegates coming in groups, which is great because it helps them pass on the blessing to their local churches.
