The 5th - 9th of September saw some of the network gather in a tent, inside a room, in the pouring rain, in Shropshire. Vocal Training is where we gather to get equipped and envisioned for action in our local areas, and to connect with those across the country who are doing similar exciting things.

This year we wanted to think about how we can empower our generation to 'find it's voice' and gain confidence in our ability to challenge the 'experts' by discovering and drawing out of ourselves and others the unique gifts and skills we can bring to the network.

People seemed to be most inspired by each other, so there was plenty of time to hang out and have conversations late into the night! But we also had some great training on empowerment, prayer, campaigns and discipleship from different members of the network throughout the weekend.

The campaigns day was pretty packed, and there was a lot to take in. People fed back that it sparked a desire to learn more, so we've put the power points and a reading list below to download. This should give you plenty to be getting on with!
