2026 Connect Conference

Get refreshed and inspired to spread the Gospel through Operation Christmas Child

Friday 5th to Saturday 6th June

Samaritan’s Purse National Ministry Centre

 

Connect Conference is your opportunity to gather with other Connect Volunteers and  Project Leaders, to celebrate what God is doing through Operation Christmas Child, pray together, and get prepared for the upcoming campaign. We would love you to join us!

Featuring inspirational updates from around the world, practical seminars, dynamic Bible teaching, and plenty of time to hang out over food and activities, you’re sure to leave Connect Conference 2026 refreshed, motivated, and ready to spread the Gospel.

This year’s conference theme is based on Philippians 1:27 which says, “Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the Gospel.” Will you join us?
