Can we really make a difference |
Dick McClain Vice President - Ministry Operations and Church Ministry The Mission Society Norcross, GA |

Growing Missionaries in the Local Church |
Jimmy Aycock Sr. Associate Pastor Asbury UMC |
Asbury is striving to become a missionary sending church, but recognizes our dependence on missionary training agencies. Explore with us how to inspire, confirm, pray for and enable missionary candidates, while partnering with agencies that are experienced in equipping for cross-cultural missions and who have a structure for deploying and supporting missionaries in the field. |
CP14 |
Presence-Based Church |

This workshop explores ways to develop a church that is rooted and grounded in a loving relationship with Jesus. |
CP24 |
Sacred Spaces |
Alicia McDaniel Student Ministries Asbury UMC |
We will explore how we can best support prayer and worship with visual arts and experiential activities. The more we feel connected to the Holy Spirit, the Body of Christ, and the message from the Pulpit; the more we will retain, and hopefully apply principles of the Word to our lives. Visual arts, music, touch, and active participation often help us to become more aware of the Lord’s Presence …helping us to connect with Him. |

M10 |
Sharing Christ Where He Is Not Welcome |
Tinjau * Indigenous Pastor S.E. Asia |
Ministry in a hostile culture where the enemies of the Gospel yield much influence can be challenging. However, it is also immensely rewarding when the seed of faith takes root in the heart of an unbeliever. Get an up-to-date report from the front lines on sharing Christ in one of the toughest places on earth. |
M19 |
