We are excited to announce the GCF / GoPlay / family.fit meetings which will take place in Farol IBMAlphaville in Brazil from lunchtime on Monday 20th March through to breakfast on Saturday 25th March 2023.

Why should I come?

So much has happened over the last few years, where travel has not been possible and in many ways we are still adapting to how things have changed. Join us for a precious few days to pray, explore, learn and create together as we continue to seek God’s Kingdom, striving to see children everywhere walking with Jesus.

The forum will run alongside teams from GoPlay and family.fit, as together we serve children, young people and families and have a special focus on investing in younger leaders. We will also be exploring how we can build together as learning communities, incubating infectious ideas together and includes a special focus on investing in younger leaders.

There has been growing momentum around the needs of families and how we can best serve them alongside children. Recent discussions have posed the challenge of how might we see a million families embracing what it means to think and act missionally. As we look at the needs around us in our world, and as we come together as Kingdom partners, could we even begin to imagine how we could see God open the way to equip 100 million missional families?

We have a vision for children everywhere walking with Jesus. And our meetings in Brazil will build on that in the context of the following areas:

Leadership
- Release young leaders to pioneer the season ahead
- Connect mentors and mentees, widening the leadership development
- Develop multiplication strategies for the Leadership Experience
Learning Community Regional Pilots
- Connect and accelerate regional learning communities in Latin America, Africa, Asia and Europe
- Integrate the Leadership Experience as a GCF DNA multiplication strategy
Innovation
- Build hybrid FlashLab teams to innovate around key projects (family.fit, Leadership Experience, Family, Regions, Academia)
Collaboration
- Explore how GCF, GoPlay and family.fit can collaborate across multiple initiatives

Our meetings will take place at the Farol IBMAlphaville located here:

The Farol IBMAlphaville is situated 67 km from Sāo Paulo International Airport (GRU).
