Faith is still the foundation, but the framework and organization are under development
Kåre Smith and Bjørn Nilsen, two of the show’s guests this month, discussed their visions of how the conferences will continue to be full of both spiritual content and good experiences. It is the foundation of faith that brings members together—this will not change—but the structure of the event can be developed further. We wish to use the practical and technological opportunities available to create the best experience for all nationalities who are guests at BCC conferences. It is also important that the up and coming generations hear the gospel, so the conferences have to evolve and facilitate inclusion and reception of the young.
Kåre Smith reminded viewers that it is God who works in each one both to will and to do in his/her life. We are to bear one another’s burdens and share with our fellow human beings. Bjørn Nilsen underlined the importance of this foundation in our Christian community: to want to serve and provide, and thereby benefit others.
