The theme of the conference is "Hope through Encouragement." When we first started to talk about this, I began to think about the Resource of Hope we have in Jesus Christ and then the Responsibility we have to not only share this hope, but to encourage others as they make their way down the path God has put in front of them.
My 1st session will focus on Encouragement through Knowing God - Living in High Places
This will be a review of the book Hinds feet on High Places identifying with Much Afraid as she follows the shepherd
- Her Plan: She has an intense desire to follow the Shepherd to the High Places where her crippled feet will be healed
- Her Problem: She had a hard time trusting the Shepherd as He leads her in a different direction than she anticipated
- Her Perseverance: Ultimately she surrendered to the Shepherd's will and because she persevered, she was able to reach her goal
My 2nd session will focus on Encouragement through Mentoring - People Who Influence People
This will be a tribute to a women who mentored me; what I learned and the importance of passing that on to the next generation
- Her Exhortation
- Her Example
- Her Encouragement
My 3rd session will focus on Encouragement through Hospitality - Fulfilling Christ's Command to Make Disciples
This will be a recap of how I have used Hospitality in my life and ministry
- Using Hospitality for Evangelism
- Using Hospitality for Discipleship
- Using Hospitality for Fellowship
Now I really need to start to focus, so I'll let you mull this over in your mind this week and maybe I will expand on each of these topics in the coming weeks. Please pray for me as Satan has already tried to discourage me though some physical pain issues that have come up this last week. I'm praying that the pain will be masked while I speak and I'll deal with it when I get home.
