NOTE 14 - Oilstone Cohort 11, 1-5 April 2019 'Golden Grove', Newtown, New South Wales.
The eleventh Oilstone program completed in April 2019.
The Oilstone program returned to 'Golden Grove' in Newtown NSW where it now feels thoroughly like 'home'. God blessed us with 12 wonderful Christian leaders who met with us (five women, seven men).
There was a nice mix of pastors (associates and team leaders), university gospel staff workers and our first chaplaincy team leader. We had congregational leaders from various sized churches as well as university leaders and all from NSW and interstate.
Participant feedback:
