Details: September 28, 2023, 08:30 AM - 09:45:00 PM ET
Workshop Track: Short-Term Missions
Primary Audience: Missionaries and Ministry Leaders
Three experts from different ministry foci and experiences, will present on how Christians should understand the present challenges of the ever-changing gender issue that will be affecting future missionary teams.
How should we respond to all this confusion in both grace and truth, while gaining a better understanding of what is behind it and driving it? Engaging in, wrestling with, and settling on a biblical approach on this important issue is foundational to developing your missions screening processes and training for your teams.
This workshop will explore:
- Understanding the spiritual, ideological, and psychological drivers behind the new gender revolution that is affecting the US and many cultures globally.
- Understanding and answering the challenges involving our culture, families, and young people.
- How Do We Respond? We will explore potential ways to minister with confidence and clarity as you function in diverse cultures where nationals may be more conservative or more liberal compared to common views held by conservative evangelicals.
