Konverents sept 2025 – Conference sept 2025

Teenides Kristust keerulistel aegadel
13. septembril kl 9-17 

Ükski tähelepanelik maailma sündmuste jälgija – olgu ta tunnistav kristlane või mitte – ei saa eitada, et elame ebakindluse ajastul. Eriti just käesolevat aastat on iseloomustanud erakordne kõikuvus, mis on mõjutanud praktiliselt iga inimest kogu maailmas. Ja väljavaated järgmiseks aastaks näivad veelgi tumedamad.
Ebastabiilsed ajad tekitavad inimestes sageli ärevust ja hirmu ning kui suur hulk inimesi seda tunnet kogeb, võib see paratamatult viia ühiskondliku rahutuse, anarhia ja isegi sõjani – kõik need nähtused iseloomustavad üha enam meie põlvkonda. Johannese 16:33 järgi ennustas Jeesus, et Tema järgijad kogevad selles maailmas viletsust, ning kirikuajalugu kinnitab seda tõeks. Kuid Kristuse eesmärk ei ole, et Tema rahvas elaks pidevas hirmus, sest Ta on isiklikult andnud meile võimaluse kogeda Tema rahu oma südames ka suurima ebakindluse ja ohu ajal.
Seetõttu kutsume Sind olulisele Grace to You Europe konverentsile, et saaksid Jumala sõnast tuge ja julgustust, teenides Kristust rõõmsa julguse ja lootusega Tema peatsesse tagasitulekusse.

Kõnelejad: 

Ben Bradford
Ben alustas oma teoloogiaalaseid õpinguid European Bible Training Center’is Berliinis ning jätkas seejärel The Master’s Seminary’s Californias, kus ta omandas kraadi Master of Divinity. Praegu on ta Oxfordshire’is, Ühendkuningriigis tegutseva evangeelse koguduse pastor ning töötab Grace to You Europe’i juures abiministrina, keskendudes eelkõige meeste koolitamisele jutlustamiseks ning meeste ja naiste abistamisele Piibli sügavamal tasandil uurimisel.

Ben ja tema abikaasa Rachel on olnud abielus 16 aastat ning neil on kolm last: Seth (12), Caleb (11) ja Lydia (7).

Samuel Turner
Sam toob konverentsile kaasa rohkelt kogemusi nii oma professionaalsest elust kui isiklikust teenimistööst. Pühendunud abikaasa, kuue lapse isa ja ühe lapselapse vanaisana on tema arusaam perest ja kogukonnast sügavalt juurdunud. Ta elab Ühendkuningriigis ja juhib edukat rahvusvahelist konsultatsiooni- ja koolitusettevõtet, mille klientideks on tervishoiu-, hotellindus- ja tippspordisektorid. Kohaliku reformeeritud baptistikoguduse aktiivse liikmena on Sam kirglik kestva usu kasvatamise suhtes ning on isiklikult kogenud Jumala vankumatut ustavust paljude katsumuste ja raskuste ajal. Oma ettekandes jagab ta mõtteid teemal Kristuse koguduse karjatamine ohtlikel aegadel, tuginedes nii pühakirjale kui ka oma kogemustele kristliku juhi ja vaimuliku mentorina.

D. Paul Mitchell
Vend Paul on olnud kristlane üle 50 aasta ning teeninud vaimulikus töös viimased 30 aastat. Selle aja jooksul on ta tegutsenud vanema ja pastorina kogudustes oma kodukoha lähedal Inglismaal. Aastaid juhtis ta suure rahvusvahelise kristliku konverentsikeskuse teenistust, kuni 2008. aastal astus ta ametisse Grace to You Euroopa direktorina. Viimastel aastatel on Paul keskendunud eelkõige pastorite julgustamisele jääma vankumatult ustavaks Jumalale ja Tema sõnale, samal ajal lahkelt ja ennastsalgavalt karjatades lambaid, kelle Ülemkarjane on nende hoolde usaldanud.

Paul on olnud abielus Dianaga 47 aastat ning nad on pühendunud liikmed reformeeritud baptistikoguduses oma kodu lähedal Kentis, Ühendkuningriigis.

ENG: Serving Christ in Perilous Times, 13th Sep 2025 9am to 5pm

No careful observer of world affairs, whether they are a professing Christian or not, can fail to acknowledge that we are living in times of great uncertainty; this year has especially been characterised by a level of volatility that has impacted virtually every person living on the planet. And the prospects for next year are likely to be even worse!
Times of instability tend to instill a sense of anxiety and fear in the hearts of individuals, and when large numbers of people are afflicted with this condition, then it inevitably leads to civil unrest, anarchy, and even war, all of which are increasingly characterising this generation. In John 16:33, Jesus predicted that His followers would have tribulation in this world, and church history confirms this to be true. But it is not Christ’s intention for His people to remain in a perpetual state of fearfulness when He has personally made provision for them to experience His peace in their hearts as they pass through periods of great uncertainty and danger.
Make it a priority to join us for this vitally important Grace to You Europe conference, so that you can be strengthened by God’s word as you serve Christ with joyful courage and hope in eager anticipation of His soon return.

Speakers: 

D. Paul Mitchell

Brother Paul has been a Christian for over 50 years and in full-time ministry for the past 30 years; during that time, he has served as an elder and pastor in churches local to his home in England. For many years he directed the ministry of a large international Christian conference centre until in 2008 he was appointed as the European Director of Grace to You, the multi-media Bible teaching ministry of John MacArthur. Paul’s ministry in recent years has been especially focused on encouraging pastors to remain uncompromisingly faithful to God and His word, whilst compassionately and sacrificially shepherding the sheep and lambs the Chief Shepherd has committed to their care.
Paul has been married to Diana for 47 years and they are committed members of a Reformed Baptist Church near to their home in Kent, U.K.

Samuel Turner

Sam brings a wealth of experience to the conference, both in his professional life and personal ministry. As a devoted husband, father of six, and grandfather of one, his understanding of family and community is deeply rooted. Based in the U.K, he leads a successful international consultancy and training business with clients in healthcare, hospitality, and professional sport. A committed member of his local Reformed Baptist Church, Sam is passionate about nurturing an enduring faith and has personally proved God’s constant faithfulness during many times of testing and trials. During his session he will be sharing insights on Shepherding Christ’s Church During Perilous Times, drawing from the scriptures and his experience as a Christian leader and spiritual mentor.

Ben Bradford

Ben began his theological training with the European Bible Training Center in Berlin and then moved to The Master’s Seminary in California to earn a Master of Divinity degree. He is now pastor of an Evangelical church in Oxfordshire, U.K and serves with Grace to You Europe as an Associate Minister, with a particular focus on training men to preach and to help both men and women to study the Bible in greater depth.

Ben and his wife Rachel have been married for 16 years, and they have three children, Seth (12), Caleb (11), and Lydia (7).
