To all our beloved Members & Friends,
6th INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN CREATIVE ARTS CONFERENCE
Joyous Christmas Greetings from Christian Dance Fellowship of Malaysia (CDFM).
We are proud to inform you that Malaysia has been chosen to host the 6th International Christian Creative Arts Conference. This conference is the global event of the International Christian Dance Fellowship (ICDF) with which CDFM is affiliated. It is held every 3 years, co-hosted by the local charter CDF of a particular country. The previous 5 conferences were successfully held in Israe , UK, South Africa, Australia and USA respectively. Next year, it will be held in July 10-16, 2006 at Genting International Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur.
Conference Objectives
- To present a biblical worldview of the arts related to worship, ministry and mission
- To celebrate life, hope and beauty through diversity of multi-genres, cross-cultural evangelism and international exchange of ideas relevant to a fast-changing world.
- To develop a unity of artistic expression by reclaiming the arts for the glory of God and His purpose.
- To provide a globe networking, encouragement, vision and fellowship for the body of Christ involved in the creative arts and dance ministries.
An exciting international program is in store for all participants. There will be live performances plus a variety of educational activities such as worship celebrations, concerts, workshops, arts exhibition and an outreach dance project titled The Dance Village. These will address dance in different ways and explore its diverse roles, elements and forms, catering to the interests of the participants, performers, choreographers, academics, enthusiasts, audiences and community beyond the church walls.
International speakers, teachers and delegates from approximately 35 to 45 nations will be attending the conference. We also hope to draw an attractive crowd from our own nation and neighbouring Asian countries.
As Malaysia is the host country, we have the advantage of savings on airfare, travelling expenses and forex exchange rates. We urge your church to grab this 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to attend this international conference. Please do incorporate our conference in your agenda as you plan your church program and budget for next year.
We enclose the conference brochure for more information. As always, we look forward to your support and prayers. Thank you for your partnership and believing with us in our vision all these years. May the Lord bless you.
Merry Christmas and a Blessed Year!
Together we serve,
