Grace and Glory Conference - South Africa

The "Grace and Glory Conference" fathered by Rob and Glenda Rufus most definitely share the top position along with "Together on a Mission" for the conferences that have had the most impact on my life. Although I've only made it to the first one in Hong Kong (so far) I always listen to the audio and love the teaching and impartation that comes from Rob, Fini, Isi and others.

I have greatly enjoyed following the most recent conference blogs by my mate in South Africa - James Preston. It sounds like they have been having an amazing time! Here's the links (audio messages are here);

The important thing to know about Grace and Glory conferences is that if you come simply wanting impartation of theology and knowledge you will be disappointed. There are other conferences you can go to for that. Rob particularly always does lay foundations of grace but the emphasis is on encounter with God. And there is no substitute for that!

Rob Rufus on Transitioning a Church From Law to Grace

Rob Rufus at the "Increasing Glory" Conference in South Africa on the cost of transitioning a church from law into grace;

"No church will transition out of a mixture of law and grace into full grace unless the eldership team have a revolutionary renewing of their minds. That’s what it needed for me. And when you are going through the process you have to factor in rejection, accused of saying things that you haven’t said, you have to factor in maybe losing some of your closest friends but if you are captured by divine approval and not by man’s approval – then you will be a true leader in the house of God".

What a cost - but how worth it!

Something They Should Teach in Pastor's College

But I'm not sure that they do ...

Rob Rufus speaking at the 'Increasing Glory' Conference in South Africa said;

"We will not use people to build our ministries; we will use our ministries to build our people".

A revolution is rising in the earth that isn't just freeing people into the glory of grace - but it is freeing pastors and teachers to realise what their true identity and mission is for.
