Update: Plentiful has been postponed!
We (the leadership of Plentiful) apologize for this inconvenience, but it has been recently decided that we will be postponing Plentiful until further notice. Our hope is to provide a place in which people feel safe, welcome, excited to resource one another, and we are able to build a great community. However, due to the Delta variant of COVID growing as well as the hardships of transitioning to (potentially) being back on campus, we have come to understand this this is not the ideal time to host the conference. Our plan is to host Plentiful in Winter of 2021 or Spring of 2022! Fill out the interest form below for future updates surrounding this conference. We hope to see you when it happens! Feel free to look below for information of what to expect when the time comes.
What is Plentiful About?
Plentiful: Leading as Imago Dei is a two-day conference for Southeast Asian student leaders to come and learn about our history, spiritual heritage, and be empowered by the Holy Spirit. Whether you are a Southeast Asian student leader within InterVarsity or another context (another organization, a church, or other spaces), we would love to see you come and learn more about how you can lead out of a more holistic understanding of yourself and what you uniquely offer!
