OUTRAGEOUS COMPASSION?
Meet Jonah. He is God’s prophet. He knows God’s Word inside out.
He should be feeling great about God.
But one day Jonah turns and runs as far from God as he can. Has God asked something outrageous of Jonah? Or is it that Jonah doesn’t know God as well as he thinks? Is the real God more confronting and more astoundingly compassionate than Jonah — or we — have ever realised?
Come and be astonished by our God at GROW 2022. Talks from the book of Jonah.

Why are we planning a face-to-face conference while COVID-19 remains a threat?
Well, for three important reasons:

1. It is a rich blessing to share Jesus face-to-face as we long for the day when we will see him face-to-face. Seeing each other is so much better than relating via a screen.

2. Many of you have told us you really want to meet face-to-face. GROW has always partnered closely with local churches as we’ve shared a vision for seeing women grow up into Christ. We want to honour that partnership as much as ever in this challenging season.

3. We think it's possible to meet responsibly: We are working closely with a new but old venue, St Peters Lutheran College, Indooroopilly, to ensure the safety
We thank you for your ongoing support and ask for your continued prayers as we prepare for GROW 2022.
