Christian Response to Human Trafficking – Theatre, 11:45 am
Joy Smith, B.Ed M.Ed OM (The Joy Smith Foundation Inc.; Former Member of Parliament)
Human trafficking happens in Canada and in Manitoba every single day. Christian young people are not immune to it happening to them.

Why Media Works in the Spread of the Gospel – Chapel, 11:45 am
Nicki Coles, Communications Manager (TWR Canada)
The spread of the gospel is the commission placed on every believer by Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20. At TWR Canada, our aim is to reach the world for Christ using media. With a focus of evangelism and discipleship, we are working on air, online and on the ground to share the hope of Jesus with the nations. This seminar will be a time of hearing stories of people from Cuba to India through Africa and the Persian speaking world who have found this hope. Working in 70 countries and over 50 languages with broader partnerships reaching 190 countries and over 230 languages, the spread of the gospel is the goal and media is the means. Come and learn more about what God is doing around the world through media.

Each One Reach one.  – Theatre, 1:30 pm

Exploring and equipping believers to go out and share the gospel. We will be sharing stories of how people share their faith along with stories of people who have had the gospel shared with them, as nearly 300,000 Bibles have gone out across Canada over the last 7 years.

Global Missions: Burden or Benefit to the Local Church? – Chapel, 1:30 pm
Panel discussion with Jacob Ginter (World Team) moderating, Richard Salas (World Team), Mike Reimer (Avant), Tim Noble, (OMF International)
Can Missions Engagement truly enrich your local church? Many see Missions as a one-way deal: send a pile of money and some of your best people to fulfill your part in the Great Commission. There are other options. Among them, robust three-way partnerships between your church, a mission organization and cross-cultural missionaries equips the local church for worldwide engagement as well as local outreach and spiritual maturity. Canada’s multi-ethnic mosaic, combined with today’s changing culture, provides unique and exciting opportunities to explore together. Join our dialogue to begin experiencing the full benefits of Missions Engagement.

How Should Christians Respond to Persecution?  –  Theatre, 4:45 pm
Greg Musselman, Minister at Large (The Voice of the Martyrs Canada)
A basic question often asked is how Christians should respond to persecution. Biblically, there seem to be three basic responses that the Lord allows when His people are persecuted. We’ll look at these responses and hear stories of followers of Jesus who decided not to leave a place of hostility. We’ll also look at some of the reasons Christians are persecuted for their faith.
 
Serving in Contexts of Higher Risks – Chapel, 4:45 pm
Heidi, Harold & Leila (Wycliffe)
As we respond to Christ’s command, “Go into all the world”, and as we seek to reach each remaining unreached ethnic group, we will inevitably need to consider serving in contexts of higher risks. Our discussions will include the theology of risk, as we observe the precedent of the early church and as we grapple with hard questions such as of bringing families into dangerous situations. How can we arrive at a peaceful, Spirit-led, balanced position of trust and rest as we serve in turbulent parts of the world? How can we mitigate risks and remain accountable?
 
Seeing our Neighbours as God sees them. – Youth Room, 4:45 pm
Fadi Sharaiha, Executive Director (SAT-7 Canada)
SAT-7 has the vision to see a growing Church in the Middle East and North Africa, confident in Christian faith and witness, serving the community and contributing to the good of society and culture. It has a mission to provide the churches and Christians of the Middle East and North Africa an opportunity to witness to Jesus Christ through inspirational, informative and educational television services.
