However, understanding we have a problem and effectively addressing it are two different things. In this class, I, a millennial, seek to communicate practical insights to help us more effectively reach and keep the missing generation, my generation. Teen Evangelism Raoul Ferris To the teen I became a teen, so as to win over a teen: Teen Evangelism! How do we teach the gospel, in season and out, when it seems that Christ has been out of season for way to long in our own world? Join me as we share the truth with today s Saul but tomorrow s Paul. Evangelizing Through Listening Robert Oglesby FC 1 God gave us two ears and only one mouth, so listen more than you talk. How can I look like I m listening? Remember, persuasion takes place in their mind, not yours! Revive Your Website Tim Yaeger FC 2 With so many in our society using the internet and technology, this topic is very important for reaching out to others in our community. Come find ways to bring your church into the 21st century. Circle of Influence: How To Increase Your Outreach In Ministry And Evangelism Michael Orr FC 3 One of our greatest challenges in the Church is reaching out to others. The New Testament holds the key to increasing our impact on those we know and getting our congregation excited and interested in reaching out to those around them by increasing the measure of influence we have on others. This class will challenge you to think about your personal outreach differently and show you how to reach out to the lost more effectively.

3 Women s Outreach: Reaching Out By Reaching In Loretta Orr - Parlor In the work of women s ministry, it s all about making real connections. So many women and young ladies crave spiritual growth and authentic relationships with other women and struggle to find that out in the world or even in the church. In this class we will share together how women s retreats, classes and other intentional fellowship can help us reach out more effectively to other young girls and women who are lost in the world or in need of encouragement and support. 10:30-11:00 AM Break 11:00 AM-12:00 PM Class Session #2 Is Door-Knocking Still Effective?

They will also share why the follow-up is so important. New Christian Ministry And Involvement Michael Green 210 How do you keep new Christians involved?

How To Turn Community Outreach Into Converts Jonathan Zerby FC 2 The first step towards going into all the world, is to go into your neighborhoods, your communities, and your schools. These are the places we meet people and create the opportunity to tell them the good news, of great joy, that s for all the people. How To Grow A Church Dean Kilmer FC 3 Examine your congregation; is it growing, stranding still, or dying? What are the weaknesses and strengths of the congregation? How can we attract people to Christ? How can we give people hope and provide opportunities for repentance and spiritual growth? How can we help transform the lives of people by the power of God s word? WHEN LIVES ARE TRANFORMED, THE CHURCH WILL GROW! The Godly Woman And Church Growth Jennifer Lewis Parlor God has always used women as vital partners to carry out His plans! Whether it is for building up the body or bringing souls to Christ, women are valuable vessels for our Lord to bring His message to a lost world. We are His ambassadors-essentially God s hands, feet and voice! 12:00 PM Lunch On Your Own
