General Sessions
LEGACY OF FAITHVirginia Ward, Abundant Life Church, Cambridge, MA
The Bible has left us the Legacies of Abraham, Moses, Noah, Sarah, Rahab and many more whose faith has paved the way for us to follow. Virginia has been living out this faith in Boston and will take us on a journey to apply the lessons of these Heroes to our own communities.
LEGACY AT RISKMEN & WOMEN ONLY SESSIONS
Stacy Spencer, New Direction Christian Church, Memphis, TN and
Maura Gale, She Speaks, Culver City, CA
The key to finishing the race strong is to keep our eyes on Jesus. However, our ministry pressures and challenges can draw our eyes away from Him to our programs, roles and tasks which lead to our Legacy being at risk through our stumbling and not finishing well. Stacy and Maura will help us face our own issues that might otherwise short circuit our leadership Legacy.
LEGACY PEOPLEHarvey Carey, Citadel of Faith Covenant Church, Detroit, MI
Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Theresa, and John Perkins have been modern examples of Legacy People for us to follow. We are all able to list the people who have inspired a Legacy in our lives; some are famous and some will remain as unsung heroes. Harvey will help to direct our focus on these people by helping their legacy to come alive, while also challenging us to be Legacy People.
LEGACY OF LOVEChris Heuertz, Word Made Flesh, India, Nepal, Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, Romania, Argentina and Sierra Leone
The greatest commandment is love. Love will never fail, but how much time do we spend truly loving others with our lives? Chris’ life and ministry is an inspiration to this love, visible through his global work with refugees, orphans of war, women trapped in prostitution, sex trafficking and building many other incarnational communities to the poorest of the poor.
LEGACY UNWRITTENLarry Acosta and guests
God has given us opportunities as youth workers to speak into or “journal” on the unwritten pages in the lives of the youth that we serve everyday. We are writing a Legacy! You will take a journey with Larry around the country to see people just like you who have accepted the responsibility of nurturing the next generation. Are you Living this Legacy?
