On the 8th of November 2008, the National Alliance of Christian Leaders Annual Dinner was held in Canberra, during the time of the National Prayer Breakfast. It brought together Christian leaders from around the nation to discuss what God was doing in and through Australia.
The goal of the NACL is to help bring Australia to Christ by: networking Christian Leaders across Australia; helping leaders get a renewed sense of commitment to goals; informing leaders of current issues and what Christian ministries are doing throughout Australia; helping Leaders see the big picture and the part they play in the whole of the body of Christ in Australia; and organising events and networking Christian Leaders for these events.
The annual dinner helps to do just that, it has become the highlight of the Christian calendar, and Dr Graham McLennan, Chairman of the NACL is to be congratulated for undertaking this invaluable service on behalf of the Australian Christian community.
The evening was led by Dr McLennan, and featured a wide-range of Christian leaders.
