Both your marriage and ministry will benefit from a deeper encounter, together, with the Spirit.

Workshop Session 3: The Mobilization Flywheel
Do you need more volunteers for your church or do you want to send more everyday missionaries from your church? Or both!? Larry Walkemeyer (along with Todd Wilson) have developed a simple, yet powerful tool to unleash the latent potential already residing in your church. Every Church and every Christian has a common mission AND a unique calling, yet, they need a clear path to run on. The Mobilization Flywheel provides an uncomplicated, straight-forward model which has the capacity to create a multiplication movement. This workshop will present the model, contemporary examples, ideas for implementation and keys to overcoming the different forms of inertia. Your people and your church were "Made for More."

Workshop Session 4: The Empowerment Factor — Building Your Personal Multiplication Capacity
Every believer has profound kingdom potential IF they understand the "Empowerment Factor" and how to build their “PMC - Personal Multiplication Capacity”. There is a certain way of thinking, living and ministering that dramatically changes the impact your life and ministry will have. Jesus, Barnabas, Paul, Wesley, Mears, Bright and Trotman lived it and so can we. Learning how to live the “empowered life that empowers others” is the key. This workshop introduces a brand new self-diagnostic tool and teaches essential principles to take your personal multiplication capacity to a whole new level, whether you're a megachurch pastor or a children’s ministry worker.
Time: Thursday, 8:45am — 9:45am
