The Cultural Mandate Travels Down South

30 September – 3 October 2008 — With a passion to empower Christians worldwide to fulfill the cultural mandate, Kong Hee accepted the invitation to speak at the annual Global Impact Conference, organized by City Impact Church.

Founded in 1982, City Impact Church is led by Senior Pastors Peter and Bev Mortlock.
Situated in Auckland, the venue of Global Impact Conference 2008 was the new sanctuary of City Impact Church. It was built in an awesome labor of love by many volunteers over a period of two years.

Such enthusiasm to build the house of God struck a chord with Kong Hee, who promptly challenged the capacity crowd of more than 2,100 believers to advance the kingdom of God into every sphere of society.

It proved to be a divine message, especially to the Christians living in Auckland, which is becoming increasingly cosmopolitan as the center of urban growth and affluence in New Zealand.

The Global Impact Conference was attended by participants from different parts of New Zealand such as Queenstown, Balcutha, Invercargill, Napier, Wellington and Gisborne. Delegates also flew in from Singapore, United States and other countries.

The conference had three different strands for church leaders, youth and children.
