"I Will Give You Rest" Conference
ABOUT
Many of us are tired, weak, and weary. But Jesus promises, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” And even if we feel strong, we must still “strive to enter that rest” as Hebrews tell us. Whether we feel weak or strong, we all must rest in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
So join us for a two-day conference on November 17–18, 2022 as we come as pilgrims to hear God’s message of rest in the Gospel.
The conference will be held at Hope Bible Church in Oakville, Ontario. It is located near hotels and restaurants and is within driving distance from either the Hamilton or Toronto Pearson airport.

DIG & DELVE
DIG & DELVE APOLOGETICS CONFERENCE
April 1st & April 2nd
Online or In-Person Options
Is the biblical teaching on sexuality hateful? Is it harmful? Have social and scientific developments made biblical teaching on sexuality outdated? How can I follow Jesus and love my neighbours? Does Jesus love people who are LGBTQ+? How can I have conversations with family, friends and loved ones about this? In a society that disagrees with the Bible, how can I have confidence in what it teaches?
Come to Dig & Delve this year as we discuss these matters. Bring your toughest questions and doubts. We believe that Jesus is the true hope for all people, that His teaching is true and wise, that it is in Him that you will find rest for your soul, and that His Yoke is easy and His burden is light.
We will be hosting this as a hybrid event – both ONLINE and IN-PERSON. Our speakers will be live at the event so lots of good panel discussions and Q&A times will be included. More details will be provided upon registration.
We have lined up three great speakers for our conferenced this year:
Dr. Christopher Yuan

Jojo Ruba
Jojo equips Christians to be effective ambassadors for Christ for everyday conversations. He earned a Bachelor of Journalism and a Masters in Political Science from Carleton University in Ottawa. He is the Communications Director of Free to Care.
