Encounter Conference 2023

ENCOUNTER CONFERENCE 2023:
WHY NOT?

Cape Town: 12-14 July | Gauteng: 14-15 July

Encounter Conference is all about young people having an encounter with Jesus. We know one moment with Jesus can change your life forever. Our prayer is that at Encounter Conference this year, you will believe that God can do something in YOUR life HERE & NOW!

1 Peter 2:9 NIV “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

Why Not Here, Why Not Now, Why Not Us?

Encounter Conference is absolutely NEXT LEVEL! Tribal wars, hang time & activities, live praise & worship, prizes, incredible speakers, merch, making friends and so much more! We cannot wait to gather together, encounter Jesus like never before and have the best time of our lives!

For any more info & to stay up to date with all that is happening, please follow us on Instagram: @HillsongSAYouth or email [email protected] if you have any questions.
