| Survival Guide for the Soul: How to Flourish Spiritually in a World that Pressures Us to Achieve
Ken Shigematsu
Ken Shigematsu posits that what keeps believers from flourishing in their spiritual lives is a neglect of the inner life of the soul, driven by our ambition to accomplish something big outside ourselves. He offers fresh perspective on how certain spiritual practices help orient our lives so that our souls can flourish in the midst of a demanding, competitive society. |

Date: October 5, 6, 2018
Location: Plano, TX
Facilitated by Dr. Leanne Dzubinski, Dr. Rob Dixon, and Ms. Wendy Wilson
The facilitators will lead in a day of interaction around understanding what is happening in both the research and changing expectations around men and women working together in leadership. We will engage questions, concerns, and interaction in a guided and respectful conversation, even with differing viewpoints.
We are working to make this workshop especially accessible to your leadership
teams by repeating it in a number of cities where multiple agencies are located,

24 Plus: Mission Mobilization Directors –
New Opportunities and Obstacles for Collaborative Mobilization
Date: October 31-November 2, 2018
Location: Richardson, TX (Christar offices)
Facilitator: Mark Stebbins
Many of our traditional mobilization models that carried mission traffic well in the past are breaking down on the modern highways of current North American culture. What’s worked well in the past is today sputtering and slowing.
Join a broad spectrum of agency and denominational Mobilization Directors to take a collaborative deep dive into overhauling our models for mobilizing, recruiting, and sending today’s mission candidates into today’s global realities. We will share and dissect our individual mobilization models, and then collaboratively re-assemble them in light of the current opportunities and obstacles confronting us. |
