The annual Love Trust Conference was held in Midrand on the 23^rd and 24^th of October 2012.  It was a wonderful opportunity for people with interest in community upliftment to meet, make contact, share experiences and learn from each other.

The conference kicked off with an inspiring talk by Samson Makhado, the Director Africa: Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).  The focus of the talk was on unity, while Samson’s included a true example of forgiveness.  Other topics presented included Values Driven Organisations, Strategic Planning and Project Planning, From Dependency to Dignity: A2B of Community Development, and Skills Development and Training of Disadvantaged People.  Electives included Governance, Income Generating Projects and Mobilising and Managing Volunteers.

It is encouraging to see what God is doing.  There are so many different kind of outreach projects, all managed by sincere and dedicated individuals and organisations, with a common goal for the Gospel.

New friends were made, awareness of initiatives around our country were shared and at the end of the conference all attendees left with renewed encouragement and zeal.
