Breakout #4

Need encouragement, prayer, to talk in a small group about your life, ask questions, or find a mentor?  Want to talk about exploring a call or anything else?  Someone is here to pray and talk with you.  Just need a place to pray by yourself?  You can do that too.  

Whether in the US or in some far corner of the world, you will encounter other cultures. How can you thrive in the context of the challenges that arise when you are in a culture different from yours?  What are obstacles to living well in that culture?  What can you do to have healthy relationships and effective communication and maintain joy?  Come and learn how it is possible and hear an example from experience. 

This panel discussion explores the Biblical principles surrounding money management, including those found within the Parable of the Bags of Gold (Talents). This conversation will examine how faithful stewardship, personal responsibility, wisdom, diligence, and accountability apply to managing money and other resources entrusted to us by God. Panelists will discuss biblical perspectives on budgeting, saving, investing, generosity, managing debt, and using financial resources to honor God and serve others. Participants will gain practical insights into developing healthy financial habits while remaining faithful stewards of God’s blessings. Whether you are seeking to strengthen your personal finances or deepen your understanding of biblical stewardship, this discussion will encourage thoughtful reflection, meaningful dialogue, and practical steps toward faithful financial management that enhance opportunities for missional living.

This is a panel discussion of places to get involved in local health ministries.

This workshop introduces the foundations of Community Health Evangelism (CHE) by tracing the global call to primary health care following the Alma-Ata Declaration and the emergence of community-centered approaches that emphasize local empowerment, ownership, and initiative. Participants will explore core principles of community health and development—including building on local assets, mobilizing community cohesion, and fostering locally led solutions—while examining how these align with a biblical vision of the gospel that addresses spiritual, physical, social, and emotional flourishing. Through practical case studies from diverse international settings, the workshop will demonstrate how communities, churches, health workers, and government can work together to cultivate lasting community transformation. 

Finding God’s purpose for our life is not a hidden secret, nor a recipe, It is a mystery we get to live out.  How do we follow His call for a lifetime?  God’s call is not just about where you go or what you do. It is not a onetime decision but a real journey with a God who lives life out with us.  This session uses personal story and Biblical principles to encourages faithfully finding and following God’s call at all stages of our lives. Our identity will go through some crucifixions along the way, but on the other side are the resurrections of a new life we never imagined.
