NEW DATES ANNOUNCED!!!!!

As you would have heard, we sadly had to postpone our World Advance as the global pandemic wouldn’t allow us to meet. The good news is that we have chosen new dates, and location for our World Advance in 2022!

We encourage you to save the dates of September 24 - October 1, 2022, in your calendars, as we finalize our plans to host our next retreat in Bali, Indonesia!!!

important Change: We had announced for the 2021 Advance in Portugal, that we would be having a shared price for air travel. After we said this we realized two things. First, it is a lot of work to coordinate. Second, if our Advances traveled equally around the four Spheres, the averages would work themselves out over the 8 years (Advances are every other year). So we won't average the flights knowing that it will average automatically over time. The tentative plan is for our Advance in 2023 to be hosted by our Europe/Middle East/Africa sphere, and 2025 would be hosted by Oceania and 2027 by the Americas sphere.

We have a preferred Travel Agent which we hope you will consider but are not obligated to use. Rhonda Thibault has been the agent for Toronto and other large events like the Catch The Wave cruises. She will be doing most of the work to coordinate with the resort, so by booking flights with her, we bless her efforts on our behalf. If groups coordinate and fly together she is able to get discounts with airlines.

Please do not book anything until you hear from us regarding registration and schedule. Indonesia only just opened again to tourists and we want to ensure our plans can go ahead without further changes. Our hope is that your church will cover the costs rather than you personally. The Advance is open to all paid Catch The Fire Partner pastors/leadership team members, worship leaders, etc. If you would like to invite others, please contact your Sphere leaders.
