Optional Events During the GPG Weekend
Freedom Summit
Thursday, April 12, 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm & Friday, April 13, 8:30 am - 3:00 pm
The IJM student movement is a growing group of passionate activists who are changing the world. If you are a student or student leader, this conference is for you. The Freedom Summit will take place from Thursday night to Friday afternoon, and it will be a time for you to be equipped by IJM, empowered by each other, and well-connected to both. We are welcoming students from high school through graduate school to come together for this kick-off event before a moving weekend of prayer. Join us! Contact chapters@ijm.org for more information.
Base Camp
Thursday, April 12, 12:00 pm - 9:30pm & Friday, April 13, 8:30am - 3:00 pm
IJM believes that God calls his church to “seek justice, defend the oppressed, defend the orphan, and plead for the widow” in the name of Christ. Over the last decade God has clearly ignited more and more churches with passion for justice. Base Camp is your opportunity to join with IJM and other valued church partners to share stories, celebrate successes and discover what God has in store for your church. Ministry leaders from around the country and IJM staff will share practical ways for your church community to make an even greater impact in the fight against injustice. Our goal is that pastors and church leaders will leave Base Camp equipped and encouraged to lead their congregations in following God's call to justice. Visit www.IJM.org/BaseCamp for more information and to register for the event.
