WIN THE CAMPUS TODAY, WIN THE WORLD TOMORROW.
Northbound is a 4-day conference in Penang, calling for campus revival and bringing together 300 students, local churches, and ministries. Registration is RM120/pax (meals included).
01. FIND YOUR 'TRUE NORTH'
Most students spend four years just trying to fit in. You weren't made for that.
Are you drifting through campus, or are you driven by a mission? It’s time to stop conforming to the patterns of this world and find your True North.
02. TO GATHER & BE EMPOWERED
United for the Mission, strenghtened by the Spirit.
Are you still waiting for revival, or are you ready to step into it? Many have been standing quietly for their faith on campuses, unseen and unheard. Northbound is a gathering of 300 or more students, where we come together to ignite campus revival.
03. Step Up for Christ
Called, Chosen, and Sent.
Many students feel small and overlooked. Judged by their background and where they come from. But you are not defined by those labels; you are called, entrusted, and placed with purpose. A campus revival begins with a personal one- you were called to be a Christ-Centered Multiplying Disciple.
