Decisions for Mission, 2026/27
To know You.
- Date
- 30 December 2026 to 2 January 2027
- Location
- Ekebyholmsskolan, Sweden
Not to know more about Jesus, but to know Him. This New Year, give Him four days at Ekebyholm: to be known by Him, to find friends who walk with you, and to go home with a calling that bears fruit long after the last song. Business people, professionals, students and families, members or not: all are welcome. Come, and bring a friend.
Why this theme
On His last evening with His friends, Jesus prayed: “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” That is John 17, verse 3. Knowing about Jesus is not the same as knowing Him.
The same evening He pointed to a vine and said: “I am the vine, ye are the branches.” The vine is the picture for these four days. A branch bears fruit only while it stays in the vine, and so do we.
This is the first of several conventions under one heading, Decisions for Mission. A decision that lasts begins with a person and not with a project. So this year we begin with knowing Him, and being known by Him.
Everybody who comes belongs to a small group. The groups meet each day, and they keep meeting after the convention, so that what we decide here lasts.
Members and non-members alike
The convention is for people who run a business, a practice, a farm, a school or a ministry, and for people who are working out what to do next. You do not have to be a member to come, and nobody will ask you to join at the door.
Families are welcome, and the children and the youth are part of the convention. They have their own programme during the main meetings, and everybody eats together.

Children under 12: registration and meals are free, and one child for each person of 12 or over on the booking sleeps free, bed included; a further child’s bed costs the same as anyone’s. With only one person of 12 or over, a child sleeps free when you may share a room with people not on your booking. A child with no bed of their own (sharing a bed, or on an extra mattress or in a travel cot) stays free. Under 3, everything is free.
The booking form adds it up for you, person by person, and shows the whole total before you confirm anything. Nothing is taken before you have seen it.
Present your ministry at the convention
A stand, an advert in the convention booklet, or sponsoring a part of the convention, for members and for everyone else. Members of ASI Scandinavia have their stand free of charge.
Simple to book, alone or together
Booking takes about ten minutes, and a family or a group can book together. You tell us who is coming, where you would like to sleep and which days you will be there, and anything the kitchen or the people allocating rooms should know. A place is held for each of you when you confirm.
