The theme for this year’s Convention is “The Power and the Glory”. At a time when many believers, like the rest of our neighbours, are currently going through a period of lack and discouragement, it is time to remind ourselves that despite all the circumstances of our daily living and current world conditions, as children of God, we can position ourselves to see (and experience) ‘the power and glory of God’ in our lives.
This year’s Convention will also feature several workshops/seminars on: Immigration; Marriage enrichment; Finance/Debt Management; Youth Empowerment (knife & gun awareness & developing the mind of success) and Entrepreneurship.
Registration is FREE
Location: East Building, Floor 2, Rooms 43 & 44, University of East London, Docklands Campus, University Way, London E16 2RD
They call him the entrepreneur’s pastor, because his ministry nurtures entrepreneurship and supports entrepreneurs.
You can also join him for free on Saturday 27th at the Crowne Plaza hotel for a half-day seminar entitled: Mis-education exposed!
Its based on his book, the Mis-education of the masses in which he will explain that modern schooling is, for the most part, a sales pitch! During those years we are sold a life plan. It’s a 40 year plan from age 25 to 65. It involves joining the workforce and giving your best years to an employer in exchange for just enough to survive. The truth is that an alternative life-plan exists but few people know about it. He’d like to share it with you at his event.

Michael Kosmas is keen to encourage young Christians to enjoy their lives and maintain their sexual purity whether they are single or in a relationship at a forthcoming summit on the subject taking place at the Albany Theatre in Deptford, south east London on January 30 at 6.30pm.
Because Minister Kosmas believes the subject of singles and relationship sis a very important one for believers to grapple with, admission to this event will be free if people register at www.michaelkosmas.org before January 24.
This 23 year old minister and social entrepreneur is committed to living a celibate life in honour to God until he gets married, and wants to encourage other Christians to do the same. He said, “We live in a sex saturated society and it is so easy for believers to be swept along the tide that says that we need to be in a sexual relationship in order to be fulfilled and to be seen to be with it. Single Christians, no matter what their relationship status, need support in this area of their lives. The Singles and Relationship summit’ aims to address key areas of concerns.”
