All In Ministries: Healthy Short-Term Missions — Equip Women to Disciple Women Across Cultures
Pastors/Leaders: You can more wisely steward your short-term missions (STM) to make a long-term impact with one addition: disciple indigenous women. Worldwide women believers do not know they are loved, valued, or have a divine purpose of enjoying God and exalting Him by making disciples. When you intentionally invest in local women—they are radically and fundamentally changed. They’ll risk their lives to spread the gospel to their families, communities, and closed spaces. That’s because women are "keepers of religion" in many cultures—yet few people invest in women. You’ll learn how to equip spiritually mature women from your local church to join your short-term mission team with a proven training curriculum (free for track attendees). For 10+ years, we've worked with missionaries and church leaders in 18 countries, equipped nearly 10,000, and created a Spirit-led, biblical, simple, reproducible training curriculum for discipling women across cultures. It’s not complicated or costly to add this ministry to your STM—women can train women under the shade of a mango tree. Give them a Bible, our curriculum, and a translator, and let’s change the world one woman at a time. (Win our track giveaway: award-winning new disciple-making Bible study, Your True Story.)

Bonhoeffer Project: Refresh and Reset
Don’t forget your soul!

Lionshare: Beyond Busy: Living at the Pace of Jesus
Jesus spent a short time on Earth even though he had a lot to do. He was surrounded by needs, but he never seemed driven by them. He was never in a hurry and always on time. Let's explore what we can learn from the pacing of Jesus and challenge ourselves to do the same.
Location: Level 2 - Choir Room
Speakers: Dave Buehring and Nancy Reece

Mercy Multiplied: Principles for Effectively Ministering to Hurting People
Discipling someone who is hurting is much more complex than just helping them fix their eternal issues/struggles. We’re called to help others discover the root causes to their struggles and to disciple them into a relationship with Jesus where He can bring healing and transformation at a root level in their lives. In this session, we will unpack the concept of the “why” behind people’s “what.” We will also dive into the importance of understanding the source of people’s pain, how Jesus responded to hurting people, and how to love someone who is struggling well (including key principles of listening and responding to them).
Location: Room 207 C
Speakers: Melanie Wise and Marshall Gallagher

Navigators Church Ministries: Foundation Building: A Core Team That Conflict Can’t Disrupt

Location: Sanctuary
Speakers: Shodankeh Johnson and Paul Huyghebaert

Small Circle: Getting Beyond Information Transfer When Using Tools
Human beings absorb truth in many more ways than merely hearing or reading. A disciple is not made through information transfer. No one knew this better than Jesus. For example, imagine integrating real life experiences (we call them labs) in disciplemaking like Jesus did when he asked Peter to get out of the boat. Do you think Peter ever forgot that experience? You will walk out of this session with a broad collection of real-life labs that you can build into your disciple-making experience. These labs will lift your disciple-making way beyond information transfer.
Location: Room 203
Speakers: Steve McCoy

Sustainable Discipleship: 14 Intentional Moments
Cake for breakfast might not be the best choice. Do you know the fourteen (we know, it should be seven or three!) predictable, Biblical moments in every disciple's move to maturity? Do you know what they need at each checkpoint? It's all in the Bible and all over our research. Know where your disciple is on his journey and give him what he needs exactly when he needs it.
