A Spirit-filled Journey
The Immerse Story began in 2007 when a few pastors invited church leaders to meet together for a time of listening to one another's stories, ministry and refreshing. What emerged was a network called Isaiah58 seeking the freedom and life that comes with pursuing the fullness of life Jesus promised, while also heeding God's call to remember justice for the marginalised and poor. The gathering was so valued that it became an annual conference where leaders came both to receive and to minister to one another.
Numbers have grown, the name has changed, our understanding of the Spirit's ministry and its place in God's kingdom has deepened and ministry models have emerged that seek to equip God's people to do mission and ministry in their everyday lives in ways consistent with what Jesus modelled and imparted to his first followers. More recently Immerse has engaged with New Wine International, a like-minded, non-governing family of churches and leaders that shares our way and understanding of ministry.
