Intimacy with God
As we look in both the Old and New Testaments we learn that we worship a God who longs to have an intimate relationship with us. This same God remains cloaked and hidden from the half hearted, and reveals Himself passionately to the seeking heart. Come and hear from Mark McClendon, a man whose life has been totally invaded by this God of intimacy.

The Father's Love

Mark McClendon is a man whose entire life was radically changed through an encounter with the Father's heart of love. In these two sessions, allow the Holy Spirit to launch you into that same intimate journey. More than a teaching, it will be an experience with God.

Relationships

John and Julie Steele are a genuine father and mother in the Body of Christ, who have experienced the highs and lows of life and ministry, yet have a marriage that is both inspirational and an example to all. With this wealth of experience they are more than qualified to deliver God’s heart on the subject of relationships and how to believe for God’s best.

Lasting the Distance

We have seen the comings and the goings of many gifted and talented ministers, yet very few have made it to the end with flying colours. Julie Steele is passionate to see young people equipped to not just be gifted, but to endure to the end. She will look at the values we must build our lives on to see this accomplished.

I Need a Breakthrough – Destroying Strongholds

With the combination of the prophetic anointing and an acute gift of discernment, as well as the heart of a pastor and the gift of faith, Dianne Manusama will not just take you on a journey but will give you the tools that will lead you and others into breakthrough as you learn how to destroy the strongholds that hold you back.

Dealing with Grief, Loss & Brokenness

Luke chapter 4 describes one of the functions of the Holy Spirit as empowering ministers to set people free. John and Julie Steele are truly Spirit led ministers, who will not just teach you but impart to you, sharing from their own tragic experiences and how they learned to deal with the grief, loss and brokenness of their own lives. You will not only be effectively ministered to, but you will also be empowered to set others free.

A Missions Heart

Come and catch the passionate heartbeat for missions from a man who led one of the most effective disaster relief efforts during the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami in Aceh, Indonesia. Under Mark McClendon's leadership, CBN's humanitarian arm 'Operation Blessing' received Indonesia's Presidential Medal of Honour for their work in Muslim Aceh, making them the only NGO [Non Government Organization] to receive this prestigious honour in Indonesia.

Following Fire - A Girl with a Mission

After her own mission ventures as a 22 year old into Indonesia and South America, Melissa Murga will show you that neither age nor gender should be a limitation for any girl wanting to go to the mission field. As long as you have the fire of the Holy Spirit, the willingness to obey, and a desire to see justice done, you too can go and have a powerful impact!

Art vs the Church

Worship; Theology of Worship & Leading

These days worship leaders are thought of more as celebrities and worship teams are celebrated like bands at a rock concert. How did that happen? What is the truth behind why we sing songs together? Why are we led by a band on a stage? Jessica Smith will equip and inspire you with insights into the theology and heart of this incredibly powerful ministry.

Vocals - Performance & Workout

Manifest vocalist and professional singing teacher Michaela Marshall [Manusama] will teach vocal technique, performance skills, arranging backing vocals plus give you a great vocal workout as she creates a choir!

Worship Teams

More than just a secular band out for a good gig, a church worship team has much expected of them – spiritual maturity, skill, commitment and getting along! Come hear from JR. Del Rosario and other members of the Melbourne Life worship team to find out how they’ve grown, played and stayed together for so many years.

Song Writing

Ben Manusama is passionate about using this powerful expression to glorify God and introduce people to the power and truth of God’s word and His presence. He will open your eyes to a whole new dimension in crafting lyrics and music together.

Bands & Spirit Filled Worship

King Jehoshaphat, Paul and Silas all saw the power of God as a result of their worship. Surely worship must be more than just a set list of songs. Ben Manusama will teach the basics of flowing and singing in the Spirit, and how to develop sensitivity to know what a service needs. Worship leaders, musos and singers, and yes, even sound guys, this is a must for you.

Supernatural

Spiritually Aware
