Saturday October 3, from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Location : Pacific Academy in Surrey, BC The Upper Room conference, hosted by Proclaim, aims to inspire, equip, and send disciples to proclaim Jesus in their homes and communities. The Acts of the Apostles recount for us the moments of that first Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended on each of the apostles in the upper room. Filled with the Holy Spirit, they were sent forth, ready to proclaim. You too, whether you are new to following Jesus or a cradle Catholic, are sent into a particular mission in the places you find yourself Registration is open ! This year's theme is "Our Life is a Mission Field" Wherever God has placed you - at home, at work, with friends, or in everyday encounters, these are the places where we have the opportunity to make Christ known and help build His Kingdom.
