How it works

T h u r s d a y • 1 : 3 0 P M E21: CAPTURING THE MOMENT: EVANGELISM TO A NATION IN CRISIS Founders Inn: Blair

All Hands on Deck, Reaching People in the Storms Of Life. Charles Scott

General Bishop for the Pentecostal Church of God, International This session will address the issues facing the American family and how the local church can reach families in times of crisis. The church must maintain a culture of care-giving to families facing situations that can prepare their hearts for the Gospel.

E21: EXPERIENTIAL CHRISTIANITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY Founders Inn:

Franklin

Globally Positioned & Spirit-Empowered Caleb Wehrli

Founder of Inspire International God has given each of us a plan and a promise in fulfilling the Great Commission in the 21st century. As Christians we have been equipped to change our societies, and we are positioned by His Spirit to make Him know throughout the earth!

E21: TRANSFORMING EVERY PERSON’S WORLD Founders Inn:

E21: HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM AND LIFESTYLE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY Founders Inn:

Henrey

The Manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer Reggie Witherspoon

Senior Pastor of Mount Calvary Christian Center, COGIC, Seattle, WA The Holy Spirit manifested himself greatly in the first century.

Madison

Addictions and the Liberating Power of the Spirit Jay Mooney

Director of Assemblies of God Family Services Agency (AGFSA)

Banning Liebscher Director of Jesus Culture at Bethel Church in Redding, CA

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36). Today’s students are bombarded with subtle, and not so subtle, choices that are bent on destroying their generation. Loosening the enemy’s grip will require leaders with knowledge of, and who are able to operate in, the power of the Spirit.

E21: CONTEXTUALIZED COMMUNICATION OF THE GOSPEL IN THE 21ST CENTURY Founders Inn:

Mason

Communication Among Leadership Ossie Mills

Executive Vice President for University Advancement, Oral Roberts University Leadership is not an entitled position and cannot be assigned. Leadership is simply earned over time and, depending upon the field of endeavor, can be public or private. The pivotal key to being an effective leader is highly reliant upon how we communicate and the perception we leave through our communication. This session will highlight and reveal the foundational principles of effective leadership.

E21: GENERATIONS: MODELS THAT WORK Founders Inn: Amphitheater

Spiritual Fathering Wellington Boone

Senior Pastor of The Father’s House, Norcross, Georgia Spiritual fathering is a vital leadership model for both spiritual and natural fathers. Once we commit ourselves to becoming like Jesus, this generation will begin to turn around.

The Songs God Loves Craig Dunnagan

Vice President of Music Publishing and Worship Resources at Integrity Music In this session, we’ll explore Biblical models of worship planning. As worship leaders one of our primary responsibilities is to create, craft and curate the song lists for corporate worship. However, we so often just plan to sing what we like or what is popular. Scripture and the New Testament specifically give us patterns for planning and selecting our songs and the flow of worship regardless of the style or liturgy of our individual church. We’ll look into these models and discuss how they apply to our lives as ministers and how it can inspire Psalmists among us.

Co-founders of Dynamis World Ministries, Lancaster, PA The Full Gospel of Jesus Christ must be preached under the Power of the Holy Ghost, and it touches man through Salvation, Healing and Deliverance. This is the pattern that we see in the Book of Acts. The Gospel must be preached with Signs Following even in our day because although the world may have changed, the Lord Jesus, His Word, and the Holy Ghost have not changed. Young people these days are tired of the status quo and they hunger for a return to True Christianity and Pentecost as in the Book of Acts!

Assistant Professor, Regent University, Virginia Beach, VA When the Church opted out of contemporary culture during the mid-20th century, we lost our voice and – in fact, our legitimacy - to engage in significant cultural conversations. Today, Christians are working feverishly to maintain an “alternate universe:” a Christian version of media rather than re-establishing our legitimate “seat at the table.” This session will challenge us to consider how Christians may truly engage a postmodern culture with what Francis Schaeffer called, “capital T truth” using the power of creativity and communication.
