Whether you see yourself as a leader or not, you play a critical role in determining the success of your experiences and those around you. How you plan, recruit, and execute your Short Term Trip strategy will impact your entire church/organization and any trip participants... the ripples of which you may never fully know. Don't have a Short Term Trip strategy yet? We can help you think through that as well.
Whether you are wanting to lead a trip for the first time or have done it so long that you can't remember everything you know, this session will help reduce your stress and, more importantly, increase your impact.
Girls and women in developing communities are often vulnerable and overlooked. Their potential roles as key players in promoting spiritual and physical health in their communities can easily remain unrecognized. Medical Ambassadors International's mission is equipping communities for Christ-centered health and development, and the Women's Cycle of Life is a curriculum and training that directly addresses issues facing women spiritually, physically, socially, and financially. Working in tandem with Medical Ambassadors International's community health evangelism ministry, the Women's Cycle of Life curriculum & training equips women to take ownership of, and become key players in the well-being of their families and their communities. Women not only learn the spiritual and physical lessons for themselves, but they also learn to multiply the knowledge among their friends and neighbors. Their impact is remarkable!
This presentation will provide participants with an overview of how Women's Cycle of Life (and Community Health Evangelism) training promotes health and development of the whole person and community. Specific case studies will be highlighted, showing the long-term impact of women who have been equipped, by God's grace, through Medical Ambassadors International and missions partners around the world.
This survey was created by someone that God led on an amazing journey. In hindsight this person realizes they were on a quest. Their quest started with one goal, “To find a deeper, more intimate relationship with God—one in which they would be able to recognize God’s “still small voice.” Prior to The Quest, this person had been a fairly average Christian leader, with seasons of spiritual fervor and seasons that were spiritually dry.
The questions in the survey fit in one of two categories. Some come from the issues this person began wrestling with that led them to embark upon The Quest. Others are inspired by all the things this person realized had changed or were changing as God led them in The Quest.
Many have found taking this survey helps them to assess where they are spiritually in their relationship with God. It is a tool to help explore various facets of one’s relationship with God. The intent isn’t to compute an overall score, but to help people begin to identify where to focus attention for future growth. Its ultimate effectiveness is realized as people re-take the survey months and years later and compare themselves with where they were previously.
Faith-based organizations provide up to 70% or more of healthcare in some countries. They often work in remote locations among neglected people without any access to healthcare. Should faith-based hospitals and health programs partner with local governments and other actors in the public sector? Will collaboration compromise witness and mission? Or can collaboration expand resources, opportunity and deepen impact of Kingdom work? This session will help us examine relationships and discover from a Kingdom perspective about the common ground/common good of working with local governments, Ministry of Health and other national organizations.
