Change 2009 is now over...

We had a great time at Change 09! Did you?

It is wonderful to report a fabulous time was had by all... Friday Night turned out to have a huge attendance listening to some great music by Beauti, After the Anthems and Kutless (absolutely great guys!!) and an incredible message from Bruxy Cavey. We are thrilled to report that every booklet brought by BGEA (Billy Graham Association Canada) was given away with several groups asking for more... terrific response!

The Saturday conference was also amazing in seeing the spirit of God gripping the hearts of young leaders as they responded to the "all in" invitation by our keynote speaker, Kary Oberbrunner. We want to thank the communicators for being so approachable all day to anyone that wanted to talk to them! Thanks to Todd Bender, Brett Ulman, Aaron Moore, Amie Sider, Natalie Armststrong, Mark Wallace, Josh McCabe and Nine O Five.

Also a huge thanks to the sponsors who allow us to make all this possible: Christian Horizons, Billy Graham Association of Canada and The Gospel Lighthouse.

Change Conference adds two important last minute additions for 2009!

The Canadian Youth Network (hosts of Change 09) is thrilled to announce the IMPORTANT addition of the sponsor The Gospel Lighthouse as the host bookstore operator for the on site sales at Change '09. This is our first partnership with the Gospel Lighthouse, who operate 10 store locations in Southern Ontario. Welcome on board!

We are also massively excited to be bringing in Aaron Moore of To Write Love on Her Arms to spend time with the Youth Workers on Saturday October 17th, 2009 at the Conference. TWLOHA is an incredibly important organization which is helping to bring attention to the inner pain of too many teens and young adults. Come and join us and hang out with Aaron at the Conference!
