This is a breakout session about sustainability in missions. When called into ministry, our passion to serve Christ and our love for people often motivate us to engage in God’s work with joy and excitement. As we hope to continue to serve the Lord and grow in our work, it is important to consider sustainability in ministry, when the work is hard, whether that be difficult work itself, disappointments, life challenges or even faith challenges. It is important to acknowledge difficulties and we may face, and consider how we can face challenges when they come. Together we will consider how God helps us sustain our faith for ministry when we are surprised by difficulties in ministry.

Have you ever wondered how to find or know God's will? Have you ever asked, "How do I know if God is 'calling' me into missions?" We've all asked those questions at one time or another, and maybe constantly! In this session we will take a look at how the Bible teaches us about knowing and discerning God's will, and how God guides us as we seek to follow Christ. It's less like a blueprint and more a call to faithfulness.

The Changing Face of Missions in An Age of Pandemic: * Is to Help Christians see the Movement of the Holy Spirit in the Spread of the Global Church around the World in Spite of the Global Pandemic.

Theology is thinking and talking about God and his work in his world. This is God's world and it is filled with poverty. How Christians think about, engage, and talk about poverty is fundamental to who we should be as followers of Christ. We, of all people, need a theology of poverty.
