Ministry Skills Institute
“Stir It Up” Seminar
Wednesday, Sept. 21 9am-3pm
Leaders need to be continually revived in the their spirits and strengthened in their skills. This one-day seminar features interactive equipping and encouraging sessions facilitated by ministry leaders: Dallas Elder, Geony Rucker and Tim Doyle. It’s geared to “stir you up” for stronger and more confident Kingdom ministry. There is “fresh bread” being prepared for you to be served in these sessions. Come and get some!!!
► SESSION I
“Ministry from a Shared Heart”—Dallas Elder
The call of God to serve is inseparable from the heart of God. We give our heart to the work, but we need to learn the balance of a shared heart.
► SESSION II
“Ministry and Unhealed Hurts” —Geony Rucker
We'll work to better understand how ministry leaders can breathe everlasting hope into the hurting without losing the capacity to dress their own wounds.
► SESSION III
"Go the Distance" —Tim Doyle
Endurance is one of the most important aspects of serving Jesus and His Church. Leaders must not merely survive, but continue to stay mentally, physically and spiritually strong to fulfill their assignment.
Conference Workshops
Thursday-Saturday Sept. 22-24
END TIMES ENCOURAGEMENT
►Dallas Elder
Got questions? Well, so did the Thessalonians, reflective of the NT Church. The Apostle Paul addresses their questions, confusions and concerns in his two epistles to them. Fallacies were afloat which Paul corrected with simple facts about the Day of the Lord and Christ’s Return. We will glean from Paul’s instruction, gain understanding and be encouraged from his insights.
RESILIENT SHEPHERDING
►Rusty Savage
Jesus made an invitation. “Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden. I will give you rest…” Paul offered a warning. “Let us not grow weary in well-doing. In due time you will reap if you don’t grow weary.” How do we enter into His rest, and from His rest, serve well? We will explore how to center ourselves in this important ministry equilibrium.
WHO YOU ARE, WHERE YOU ARE, WHEN YOU ARE
►Greg Hartman
Having clarity about our ministry identity, perceiving our location on our Kingdom journey, and discerning our times and life season, positions us to be most effective for the Kingdom. This workshop will help you gain greater understanding of the Who, Where and When in your service for Christ.
