The Planning Guide is a resource available to conference planning committees who are in the process of planning a Beyond Amsterdam 2000 conference. It is a step by step guide of how an Amsterdam 2000 follow up conference could be organized. Up Conferences are organized and funded locally. BGEA will not fund or plan the conferences. BGEA will act as an encourager and advisor in response to local initiatives.
Local committees are responsible for all decisions regarding the follow up conferences. .
An Amsterdam 2000 Follow Up conference should be planned by a committee of Christian leaders who attended Amsterdam 2000 and represent at least the major denominations of the area. Our purpose for encouraging follow up conferences is to extend and reinforce the teachings of Amsterdam 2000 to those who attended Amsterdam 2000 and those who could not attend. Therefore the focus of the program of a follow up conference should resemble the focus of Amsterdam 2000. You may contact BGEA for limited assistance in the preparation process through maintaining communication to assist and guide local committee activities. Local committees are responsible for all decisions regarding the follow up conferences.
