Listening to Gods voice for your life (or Learning to know the will of God)

To know the will of God for our lives (and of course in all other situations as well) we need to learn how to recognize His voice. But how do we do that? And how can we know that its actually God who speaks when we hear something? This seminar will adress these questions with a practical and biblical focus. Welcome!

God is calling me to lead, how do I prepare for it?

Ever since I was 16 years old I have had a sense of Jesus calling me into his great story, to leadership and to building his church. But I have not always felt that I had what it takes to lead. The road to leadership is a life-long journey into the things Jesus is calling us into. In this seminar, we will share how to work together with God in preparing and growing for our calling to lead and build the church. Anyone who senses God calling you into more leadership is more than welcome whether you have been a leader for a long time or you are just starting out in leadership.

The Kingdom, the Church and the Call

What is the church? What is the church really “for”? What is the church supposed to actually do? What kind of involvement does God expect from me? As a leader, what kind of church should I be trying to build? Our life as Christians is very deeply affected by our understanding of the church. We may sometimes even feel discouraged or disillusioned with the church because of our experiences. God wants to give us more of “His” vision for the church.

This session will provide a biblical understanding of the church from a Kingdom of God perspective, a look at the “Call” to follow Jesus and what it means for the life and work of the church. This perspective has been crucial to me as a leader, and I believe it will be vital for you as a church “member”, and pivotal for you who are serving as a church leader.

Ted grew up in a small country town in Texas. After completing his studies in theology and music at Oral Roberts University, he travelled throughout Europe and north America for 4 years with an evangelistic music group called Living Sound. Much of their work was done behind the “iron curtain” and Ted has some adventurous stories to tell from those days! In 1981 he married Siw and moved to Sweden, where he has served as pastor and leader in various churches. In 1986 Ted served as worship pastor in Las Vegas for 4,5 years. In 1992 Ted was one of the founding pastors in the first Vineyard church plant in Stockholm, and after this Ted and Siw planted and led Gothenburg Vineyard 1995-2000. In 2000 Ted and his family moved to California, where he led Vineyard Music USA for several years. Currently, Ted is the missions coordinator for Vineyard Nordic and serves together with Siw as the National Leader of Vineyard Sweden. He is passionate about teaching God’s Word, worship, church and family, and is constantly amazed by the wonder of God’s creation around us.

A Road Map For Spiritual Formation

Spiritual formation has become one of the major movements of the late twentieth century. For too long the Christian community has assumed that our spirituality is a static possession, and that we are in control of our spiritual life and our relationship with God. When spirituality is viewed as a journey, however, we discover God's transforming presence at each turn in the road, and we become more responsive to God's control of our life and being. On this journey we discover that Spiritual Formation is a process of being formed in the image of Christ for the sake of others.

It's doctrinically sound, and has a Godly character. John Mumford shares the biblical teachings on the church and it's purpose

John and Eleanor married in 1978 after meeting at university in England. They have two sons, two wonderful daughters-in-law and four grandchildren! They worked for nearly two years with John Wimber on the staff of the Anaheim Vineyard in California, before starting the first Vineyard church in Europe in 1987 (South West London Vineyard). In 2008 they handed over the leadership of that church to concentrate more on the Vineyard movement, both nationally and internationally, then in 2015 they transitioned the leadership of Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland.

Together they now coordinate the Vineyard International Executive, which helps facilitate the growth of the Vineyard internationally. More nations are becoming their own established Vineyard families every year. Growth is exciting but it presents challenges. John and Eleanor’s desire is to enhance the Vineyard family’s ability to work harmoniously across the world so that we can be more effective together in fulfilling the Great Commission that God has given us. John and Eleanor visited our camp some years ago and we are delighted to have them back as guest speakers.
