The 4th ‘One Day in Melbourne’ for missions’ communications personnel this year under fresh leadership will be held at Craigieburn Salvation Army on Saturday 10 August.
Last year 2018 the speakers included Peter Brookshaw on IT, David Goodwin on The Cloud, Ben Campbell Africa Enterprize and Ashley Saunders Family Voice.
2019 ‘communication’
Those first three years witnessed the speakers’ highlighting specific aspects of mission communication and last year, for example, we heard Ben Campbell’s presentation of international mission communication and Ashley Saunders on a middle size Australian based missions’ communications.
Back to the Future
The 2016’ One Day in Sydney’ (same format as One Day in Melbourne) combined with the annual young writers conference and for 2019 the new leadership of One Day in Melbourne has warmed to this and on Saturday 10 August will combine with the 2019 young writer conference.
The plan is a proven one, the two morning seminars will be combined with One Day in Melbourne and the annual Young Writer Conference.
The afternoon 2 hour session the two groups have their individual space – One Day in Melbourne in the seminar hall, the PSI Young Writers in the other areas of the massive facility.
At 4.00pm are the exciting annual awards for the young writers which the One Day in Melbourne delegates may attend or head home.
