Who is CV?
CV is a fellowship of evangelical Christians who
consider gospel ministry an important priority.
We aim, through God’s mercy, to raise faithful and able
servants of the gospel, whether they’re ordained or lay and in
local or overseas ministries.
Men and women with gifts of leadership, Bible teaching and evangelism
and a passion to see the gospel preached are urgently needed in our
world – the Lord’s harvest is plenty, and the workers so few.
We are passionate about seeing the next generation of gospel
workers encouraged, challenged and mentored as they pray and plan
for an exciting and spiritually rewarding life of full time gospel ministry.
CV Conference also aims to gather those already in full-time ministry
so that they can train and encourage this next generation.
Whatever stage a person has reached in considering gospel
ministry, CV aims to help them progress in their
thinking, planning and taking action.

but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out workers
into his harvest field.”

CV stands for
Christian Vocation
Who should come?
Our aim is to raise up faithful, passionate Christian leaders for
Adelaide and around the world.
CV Conference provides a rare and precious opportunity to take
time out, away from daily responsibilities and distractions, to
think and pray through your ministry plans for the future and
answer the question ‘Why not full time gospel ministry?’.
At the conference, you’ll enjoy a variety of Bible talks, small
group discussions, elective seminars and personal mentoring
with a ‘coach’.
At CV Conference, you’ll also have the chance to build
relationships among like-minded Christian leaders, current
and future, from all across South Australia.
CV is particularly for those who are open to considering
the possibility of vocational ministry. We also welcome and
encourage anyone with the following questions to attend:
» What will I do for the rest of my life?
» What gifts has God given me for Christian ministry?
» Should I consider training for vocational ministry?
» What am I willing to give up to preach the gospel?
» What opportunities are available?
» Who can help me make these decisions?
CV is also for those already in vocational ministry
who long to see others join them!

Conference
Chris Jolliffe
Without a doubt, the strongest
encourager of people into
vocational ministry is Jesus
Christ himself. Chris Jolliffe
will be drilling deep into the
gold mine of John’s gospel to
unearth and share Jesus’ rich
encouragement to give our
lives in service of Him. Chris
is the chair of CV, the families
pastor at Holy Trinity Adelaide,
married to Narelle, and is
Dad to three teenage
daughters.
Mike Raiter
Mike Raiter trains and
mentors preachers through
the Centre for Biblical
Preaching. Presenting every
man and woman mature in
Christ is the greatest work of
all. But how and, importantly,
why should I commit myself
to proclaiming Christ? What
are godly motivations for
ministry? Mike will address
these critical questions
in three talks from
2 Corinthians.

Testimonials
1 Stephanie, CMS

I’d always thought that I would end up in
some kind of Christian work, but thoughts and
actions are two different things! It was at CV that
I met real-life workers who put a face on Christian work
for me, and that God took me beyond intention, to the point
of committing to full-time vocational work.
2 Shane & Caitlin Ellery, FOCUS Flinders & St Matthew’s
We both desired to be faithful ministers of the gospel but were less
clear about the when, where, how, and to whom. CV was instrumental
in helping us to answer some of these questions and then to take
steps towards seeing it happen. We feel deeply indebted to CV and
thoroughly recommend it for anyone who is serious about thinking
through what it means to serve God with our whole lives.
3 Darren & Jude Russ, Associate Pastor, Trinity Mount Barker
We found ourselves considering full-time Gospel ministry in our
mid-forties and were able to attend CV Conference together in 2011.
We always thank God for having such a great opportunity to receive
uplifting teaching from His word, to be encouraged by like-minded
people and benefit from great practical advice through the one-on-one
coaching sessions. It really clarified so many questions and encouraged
us in our decision making journey.
4 Reuben Salagaras, AFES Staff Worker, Adelaide University
CV gave me space each year to deliberately consider how I could best
serve God and his people in the longer-term, and what it would take to
make that happen. The coaching times are an amazing opportunity!
Jane Agnew, Ministry Apprentice, FOCUS Adelaide
CV is a permanent fixture on my calendar! On a personal level, it
is wonderfully refreshing to spend a weekend away to spend time
considering how I can best use my time and abilities to serve God
faithfully. It is amazing to hear from God’s Word and draw from
the wisdom and experience of other Christians. It has also been
instrumental in my marriage, as it has encouraged and challenged
us as a couple to plan our future around the call of Christ.
