Conference Messages | Four12

Are we still responding to the distress signal of the lost around us?The world around us is filled with people who are lost and separated from God. Having received the message of reconciliation ourselves, we have a responsibility to carry the gospel to others. Here, Daniel Barnard reminds us that Jesus moved intentionally towards people who were outside of His followers’ comfort zones – interrupting their schedules and crossing boundaries to go where others might not. In the same way, our homes, workplaces, and neighbourhoods are opportunities to share the gospel. We have all been rescued – not to become passengers, but to be rescuers ourselves. About the Speaker:Daniel Barnard serves on leadership within Four12 (F12) and is an elder in Joshua Generation Church, South Africa. He is married to Samantha, and they have four children. He is passionate about reaching the lost and discipling believers towards all God has for them.1

What if your greatest mission field is already part of your everyday life?Sometimes the mission field is closer than we think. When Jesus restores a tormented man in Mark 5, He sends him home with a simple assignment: to tell his family what the Lord has done. Jonathan Stanfield reminds us that to “go home” is not a lesser calling – it is an important part of the mission field. In our desire to reach the nations, serve in ministry, and do something significant for God, we can overlook the people and places right in front of us. Before we take the gospel across the world, are we willing to take it across the room and across the street?About the Speaker:Jonathan Stanfield serves on leadership within Four12 (F12) and is the lead elder of Living Hope, on the Isle of Man. Jonathan is married to Annette, is a dad to four daughters and is a proud grandad. He is passionate about church planting and seeing churches restored to health.

How can leaders disciple and equip saints for ministry?Jesus shaped the Twelve into men who would change the world. Church leaders can learn much from the way Jesus discipled and shaped individuals to become all that He had for them. To bring saints into the plans that God has for them, leaders must cultivate biblical values within our churches and come back to intentional discipleship and equipping. Here, Andrew Selley reminds church leaders that we are called to bring the broken into wholeness and furnish what is lacking, so that saints can go on to make disciples of all nations, building a legacy of leadership.Are new leaders still being raised in our churches, or have we slipped into maintenance mode?This is a Four12 PodcastAbout the Speaker:Andrew Selley is the apostolic leader of Four12 (F12) and the lead elder of multisite, Joshua Generation Church.

Andrew is based in California, USA, with his wife, Emma, and their daughter, Enyah.

Is God calling you to move from comfort to gain new ground?The place of obedience can quickly become a place of disobedience when we refuse to move when God calls us forward. “You have stayed long enough at this mountain,” the LORD said to the Israelites at Horeb (Deuteronomy 1:6, ESV). While the glory of what God has done can tempt us to stay where we are, He continues to call us to move, grow, and reform. In this message, Andrew Selley unpacks the core biblical values we hold as a partnership, reminding us of what God has called us to so that we can go and make disciples of the nations. When we are walking in circles in the Lord – seeing the same scenery but gaining no new ground, we must ask, ‘Where is the Spirit leading us next?’This is a Four12 Podcast – Session 1 of the Conference in South Africa 2026

What does it mean to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony?Revelation 12v11 points us first to the blood of the Lamb, because every victory begins with what Christ has done, and then to the word of our testimony – the faithful truth we declare about who God is, what He has done, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our testimony is more than a story of personal conversion. It is a witness that God is Lord, His Word endures, and His purposes will prevail. Shaun Brauteseth encourages believers not to lose heart when results are not immediate, but to trust God to use the truth we speak. This is a call to stand with holy boldness and to pray for the same courage we read about in Acts 4.This is a Four12 Podcast.About the Speaker:Shaun Brauteseth has been serving on the eldership team of Oxygen Life Church, South Africa, since 2012, and in full time ministry since 2014.
