The brutal facts are in: the economy is in the sharpest slide ever; share prices 50% below their peak; company profits halve and many companies going to the wall; BHP sheds 6000 jobs and 7.5% unemployment predicted; house prices are falling; superannuation savings dive 19.7%; China's annual growth halved from 13% to 6.8% into the area that Chinese leaders say causes social instability and the resources boom is no longer the answer (The Age 19 Jan, 23 Jan 2009).
The suffering in the world is growing on an immense scale as a result of the outcomes of greedy and corrupt behaviours from people who dismissed the need of allegiance to Cre8or God.
The Cre8 conference is part of God's provision for unprecedented times such as these. At Cre8 you will join a gathering of top church and marketplace leaders who will share their experience and strategies for the times. Over 20 leaders will share their insights on how to rise above the storm. They will bridge business expertise and biblical principles as a guide to navigating the future.
