Following the success of the pilot in North New South Wales, the South Queensland Conference will roll out Thrive in 2025. As one of largest Conferences, South Queensland hosts large Summer Camps, Big Camp, and over Easter 2025 will host a large Pathfinder Camporee at Samford, North West of Brisbane. The move to Thrive will put an end to relying on email alone to send contacts through to the churches for followup. Instead, now the Youth Department will simply upload their decisions list to Thrive and assign each name to the relevant church for followup. Thrive will handle all consent processed, screen Bible Mentors, and ensure that church members are reminded to followup their contacts in a timely manner.
As Thrive is integrated with other tools (event software, membership Database etc) these process will be further automated, cutting effort and costs required to see that our young people are nurtured on their Journey with Jesus. In time and as more Conferences engage with Thrive, Union and Division wide contact-generators (like Faith FM, Websites, Hope VA etc) will also feed their contacts directly into Thrive for local church followup.
