CARIBBEAN C Paul Seger Paul is General Director of Biblical Ministries Worldwide. This seminar will ask if your evangelistic outreach aligns with your stated commitment to reaching the lost. This seminar will be presented by a panel who are actively involved in evangelism. The format will be interview, dialogue and discussion. You will leave inspired and instructed with a bucket full of ideas to expand your own personal evangelism and your church s outreach. You will also learn how IFCA Harvesters can enhance the outward focus of your congregation. Teach: Children - Building Disciples For Life WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 10:30 A.M. CARIBBEAN B Mark Steiner & Dick Crider Mark and Dick are with DiscipleLand children s ministry which seeks to help churches disciple children. Workshop participants will identify six magnets that sway the hearts of children; outline Jesus tried-and-true discipleship strategy; and establish a personal discipleship action plan based on Christ s model (Phase 1 - Get started with your disciple or small band of followers and Phase 2 - Go further up and further in with children). Preach: Preparing The Expository Sermon WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 10:30 A.M. MEDITERRANEAN C Alex Montoya Alex is a full time Senior Pastor and just retired as full time homiletics professor at The Master s Seminary. This seminar will focus on the composition of the expository sermon in the aspects of preparing the sermon to be delivered effectively.

Plant: Assessing Church Health Panel Discussion WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 10:30 A.M. MEDITERRANEAN B Henry Vosburgh, Paul Williamson, Dan Fredericks, Bob Cosby These are four highly experienced local church consultants. This seminar will explore church health. We have all heard - and perhaps used - the clichéd statement: It s easier to give birth than it is to resurrect the dead. Given the unhealthy condition of so many churches today, even within our own IFCA fellowship, it may be that this cliché is to be heard more and more. However, is the issue of life or death for a church s presence within its community so easily summarized? This panel will entertain questions relative to the issues of spiritual survival and vitality in times like those we face today. Lead: The Struggle For Balance In The Pastor s Life WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 10:30 A.M. FLORIDA BAY 1 Chip Birch Chip is Senior Pastor at Southwest Community Church of Miami and has four decades of local church experience. This seminar is about balance: A well balanced pastor, you ve got to be kidding! Weekly church responsibilities can fill the life of a pastor! And if that is not enough, add these to your must do list: wife, children, parents, family, elders, leaders, deacons, visitors, seekers, the sick, aged, youth, missionaries, friends, learners, staff, the dying, and Facebook connections! I am still struggling to get it right, how about you?

5 Women: How To Teach Woman s Bible Study WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 10:30 A.M.

MEDITERRANEAN B Roy Sprague Roy served 30 years as General Director of Northwest Independent Church Extension. This seminar will address the importance, definition, development and communication of your church s vision. Vision is that sanctified imagination that sees what can be done by the power of God. Theology: The Issue Of Cessationism Today THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 8:30 A.M. FLORIDA BAY 1 Gary Gilley Gary is Senior Pastor of Southern View Chapel of Springfield, IL and a prolific writer. Despite the fact that the majority of conservative evangelical Christians since the Reformation have held to a cessationist position with regard to divine revelation, true cessationists are rapidly disappearing. Due to the influence of a multitude of popular authors, theologians and conference speakers, cessationism is barely treading water, even within the most biblically solid churches and organizations. This seminar is a defense of biblical cessationism. Women: Accepting Your Unwanted Assignments THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 8:30 A.M. FLORIDA BAY 2 Marcia Hornok Marcia is married to Ken Hornok, Pastor of Midvalley Bible Church of Salt Lake City. We women in ministry are used to sacrificing. We know that suffering produces holiness, and our primary desire is to glorify God. But He sometimes avalanches us with events and outcomes that permanently change everything. When God does the incomprehensible, will we submit or become bitter and resentful?
