(Discount of $100 if registered before September 9) October 9th - 8AM - 3PM // Join us as we discuss what it looks like to engage ALL of God's people to use ALL their gifts to bless ALL the peoples of the earth and what needs to change in the way we talk, recruit, train, and send people out to the nations in order to realize God's greater vision for transformation. This pre-Expo think tank will dive into issues that leaders of companies, churches, and organizations face, and how we can use Kingdom-thinking to flip problems into opportunities for growth. October 9th - 8AM - 3PM // B4T coaching is essential. It brings help to those doing some of the most difficult things on the planet! We are focused on strategies to coach leaders to build for-profit businesses that are truly Kingdom oriented, making disciples in the least-reached countries in the world. This training is ideal for existing and prospective B4T leaders as well as any business coach interested in working with B4T leaders (either with the OPEN network or with any other organization).Registration Options
