Healthy short-term trips can produce long-term impact on the field and transform participants. This session will address the many ways church members can gain a global perspective from a short-term mission trip. Additionally, we will discuss some of the pitfalls of short-term work and how to protect our teams from doing more harm than good.

Marriage in Full-Time Ministry

Peanuts, Popcorn, and Purity
Location: FH 6
This is a "Cracker Jack" session designed to help Master Club workers, Sunday School teachers, and parents learn "Ten Tips to Prevent Tears" in training our youth of today and adults in the importance of remaining pure in our lives. Just POP right into this session to help you help others face today's society with a Christian perspective of PURITY. The goal in this workshop is for participants to "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in PURITY." (I Timothy 4:12)
Preparing World Changers for a Changing World
Location: FBC 214
The world in which our children are growing up today is not the same world that you and I grew up in. The world is changing, and the faith of children will be challenged. In this session, we will look closely at several world changers in the Bible and see the fundamental principles that young people must be taught to become world changers.
Preschoolers Can Learn

Preschoolers are capable of learning far more than we expect of them.

Turning Benchwarmers into Players
Location: The Landing
I recently ran across startling information from a survey involving 5,000 pastors. The question presented to these pastors was, “What is the greatest need for strengthening the local church?” Of the 25 possible responses, 98% of the pastors surveyed selected “getting people involved in ministry” as their first or second choice. It is sad that our churches are filled with spiritual spectators instead of participants!

How to Leave a Timothy
Location: The Hangar
Our Lord taught us to pray for laborers and the consistent emphasis of Scripture is on the vital development of the next generation.
