A delegate of the 2007 Summit, The Reverend Greg Downes from Cornwall, expressed his delight:
'In an age when high profile ministry has come to be associated with hype, hyperbole and hollow
celebrity, Bill Hybels is a refreshing change. Willow’s Global Leadership Summit was a much
needed tonic. Characterised by first class teaching, servant leadership and sheer integrity, you
cannot help come to the conclusion that the only cause celebre here is the furtherance of the
Kingdom of God.'
Any leaders in your church, volunteer or paid; working in a ministry in your church or
leading in a business environment. It's great if they're experienced or if they're new to their roles.
Speakers this year will include a line-up of innovative pastors and
leaders: Bill Hybels, Willow Creek Community Church; Gary Haugen, president and founder of the the
International Justice Mission; Chuck Colson, founder, Prison Fellowship Ministries and Wendy Kopp,
CEO of Teach for America as well as many others.
The videocast replay is coming to Christ Church Centre Orpington, Charterhouse Road, BR6 9EP
alongside 13 other venues in the UK & Ireland. Easy access by mainline station and the M25. (Check out

The event is held simultaneously nationally and globally,
creating an exciting sense of local, national and international movement for the cause of the gospel, as
church leaders and their teams are envisioned, equipped and encouraged in their ministries.
10th & 11th October 2008. Early booking for the conference is recommended with
reduced prices and special team rates available before 30th June.
