FROM GRACE TO GRACE

“You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.”

Micah 7:19

About the conference

Disciple is a conference, family gathering and summit for a community of believers centered around Jesus. We believe following Jesus' is the way to see our lives transformed and that his command to go and make disciples of all nations should be at the center of our communities.

Disciple was first held in January 2015 and has been arranged every year since. We’ve been blessed to see God use the conference to inspire and mold a generation of disciples of Jesus. We are passionate to be part of what God is doing and believe He is doing a new thing in our age.

Disciple is arranged by Petrus församling in cooperation with OPKO

From Grace
to Grace

Micah 7:19 puts it beautifully: God delights in showing mercy. In offering us grace. In finding that which was lost. In healing that which was broken and restoring that which was stolen. The grace of God is the most freeing revelation we can encounter as sinful and broken human beings. To know and experience his grace over us changes everything.

But the grace of God doesn’t stop there, it goes further than just forgiveness, and restoration. It transforms us and empowers us. Grace makes possible that in our lives which wouldn’t be possible in our own strength.

As we read the scriptures, and follow the lives of Paul (1 Cor 15:10), Stephen (Acts 6:8) and the saints we discover God’s grace as an empowering force that enables us to do the work that God has called us to! Understood correctly, active grace is the rocket fuel that launches the children of God to a life and existence otherwise impossible. 

We believe that God offers, grace, both transformative grace as well as empowering grace to everyone who humbles themselves and ask. It is our joy, therefore, to invite you to come and experience grace upon grace. Grace for our past as well as grace for our future. Grace that releases us into the life that will be a blessing for the world.

Speakers


  • Marian Nygård teaches on prophecy and healing in Acta Bibelskole in Stavanger, Norway. She is a highly sought after preacher and author and has published books in several languages; among those «Poika joka parantui». Marian is married to Thomas and they have four adult children.


  • Ryan and Ashlyn Arndt live in Grand Rapids, MI USA with their two daughters, Maranatha (3) & Julia (22 months). They both graduated from Hope College, and were very involved in the party scene among Greek Life students for several years. However, they didn’t meet until after they started following Jesus in the summer of 2016. Since then, Ryan and Ashlyn have been actively taking part in the Great Commission of making disciples unto every nation. They are passionate about seeing the Gospel reach every person in the world through the means of an exponential disciple making movement and seeing the bride of Christ holy, mature and enduring until the return of the bridegroom.
