We continue to reach out to all Christians, the unaffiliated and all who are searching.
- Our Spiritual Enrichment Lecture Series (SELS) continue to teach, inform and transform the lives of many.
- Through the SELS videos, hundreds of people continue to be affirmed in their journey of faith and be nurtured in their spiritual lives.
- Through our prayer courses and formation programme in contemplative living and spiritual direction we are preparing the next generation of prayer accompaniers and spiritual guides who will continue Christ’s mission of evangelization through being a prayerful presence in the world.
During 2020, we plan to
- launch a live stream retreat project giving access to thousands to our digital retreats and Quiet days (Cherith days) in real time
- launch a video streaming project of our SELS videos, retreat conferences and talks.
- continue running our prayer courses and spiritual formation programmes.
- host over 300 participants for our Scripture & Spirituality Conference 2020 which will be live-streamed.
