Speakers came up from cooler parts of Australia to the sunshine state — and it was a sunny day when over 60 church leaders and members came from near and far to the third Advance Together conference.    This event was held in the beautiful facilities of Bray Park Community Church.   After a time of worship led by the worship team of Bray Park, Murray Capill again gave the plenary address, challenging believers to be radical disciples.   This time KJ Tromp, the pastor from the Nerang congregation, joined Ray Rus, Jonathan Vandenberg, and Jack De Vries as one of the elective speakers.    One of those who attended the conference summed up the day beautifully:  “ The conference was excellent and I believe God was really at work here today.”    And God was!
