This year's conference will be filled with Good News that brings great joy. It is a family time where students, families, ISMNZ workers, volunteers and guests gather to celebrate a Mid-Winter's Christmas. 

This year there will be five main sessions, workshops to choose from on Saturday and Sunday morning, an amazing team building competition at a local entertainment centre, candlelight Christmas culture night, a reflection session where we will experience relating to God in creative ways, time to explore Rotorua, a festive Christmas Banquet, and movie night. 

A big part of Christmas involves singing, and we're blessed to have a wonderful worship team to bring us together through music.

BACK TO VISION 20/20

Main Sessions & Workshops

What do you know about the FIRST Christmas? Our main sessions and workshops will provide exciting details that show us how Christmas is not a holiday for 'certain' people - but that the Good News is for ALL people from ALL nations. 

Reflection Time & Candlelight Christmas Culture Night

God so love the nations that He gave His one and only Son so we could know God. He is our Creator, and we are made in His image. As a result, we are also creative and have hearts that love to sing. During reflection time and the candlelight Christmas Culture night, we will celebrate the beauty of how God made every culture to show His creative beauty.

Team Building

LET'S DO THIS! On Saturday after lunch we will travel a few minutes down the road to Motion Entertainment Centre and compete in 10-pin bowling and mini-golf. ALL ages will have fun and no one has to be a sporting champion to enjoy the game.
