THURSDAY
PRE-CONFERENCE SESSIONS
Pre-Conference session for church leaders (staff and volunteers) who want to discuss how they can best equip and send B4T professionals and support the B4T movement within their church community.
B4T coaching is essential. It brings help to those doing some of the most difficult things on the planet! How can we do better? What skills could we add or strengthen that would be of greatest value to B4T practitioners? What can we learn from each other? A concentrated look at some fundamentals, a bit of practice, and feedback from the field will all be a part of this 1-day session. Here are some of the topics that will be covered:
• Effective coaching models
• Working with unique B4T challenges
• What's in your toolbox?
• What hat to wear, and when
This seminar engages you in a conversation on Biblical Stewardship and Faith-Driven Investing. Join other Church leaders, financial professionals, and active impact investors as we explore conversations on:
• Addressing the Sacred/Secular Divide in our Wallets
• Managing the Father’s Assets
• Investing in Faith-Driven Funds and Businesses in Frontier MarketsGENERAL SESSION TALKS
Come ready to dive into the deep end. We will send out pre-read (watch) videos prior to the Expo so you will be familiar with topics like Avodah and Acts 1:8 ahead of time. When we are together, we will begin by unpacking the changing landscape of the world and how B4T helps us fulfill our mandate to bring the Good News to redeem every last people group and restore the world around them.
