Statio: A Holy Pause
2024-04-15 15:00 - 2024-04-20 19:00 UTC | SIM USA, 14830 Choate Circle, Charlotte, NC, 28273, United States
Charlotte, NC at SIM USA
(Registration closed – full)
Invest in a week of personal refreshment, ministry renewal and re-tooling in a beautiful setting with like-minded peers! Limited places available – first come, first serve. . .
hosted by: SIM USA
facilitated by Ruthie Campbell (SIM, Spiritual Vitality and Prayer Coordinator)
Statio is a custom of stopping one thing before beginning another, making room for an unhurried moment to be attentive to God. Psalm 90:12 (NASB) says ‘So teach us to number our days aright that we might present to you a heart of wisdom.’ Are you in need of a holy pause to consider the order of your days? A way of being that leads to greater intimacy with God and in tune with your need to enter His rest and live from it for the sake of others?
Launching our discussions from Ruth Haley Barton’s book Sacred Rhythms, we will explore and practice several key Spiritual Practices that disciples of Jesus have used throughout history to arrange their lives for growing in intimacy with God. Through the week we each will craft a personal framework of rhythm to help order our days towards living from a stillness that offers fruit to others and brings about the Kingdom in all its fullness. Through guided reflections, facilitated discussions, as well as times of silence and solitude, we will make room to nourish our souls and listen attentively to God, to one another, and to what’s stirring in our own hearts. Group size is limited to 10.
This development experience will allow time to experience practices that can help us enter into the stillness that strengthens our ability to enjoy Him and to discern what God is doing around us, in us, and through us! Invest now in this relational learning experience with peers, in a lovely setting for renewal and growth! Learning is done in interactive peer-groups, guided by experienced mentors, with a maximum of 10 women in each group. First come, first serve! Register by Feb 15.
Other Module groups also meeting during this week: Group Discipleship – see Event page for more information.

Presenter-Facilitators (scroll down for more about them*):

Ron Pierce – Biola University/Talbot School of Theology, Professor
Wendy Wilson – MissioNexus, Advisor for Dev of Women; Women’s Development Track, Exec Dir
As evangelicals we believe in the inerrancy of Scripture and hold a high view of God’s written Word to us as the basis of our belief and practice And we all love and worship the Living Word, Jesus, our Redeemer, Savior, and God Almighty. So how can it be that evangelicals – whether serious academics, ministry leaders or other devoted disciples – have come to such a wide variety of conclusions about God’s design and heart for women in the Body of Christ? Who they are, what they can do or not do, how they relate to God and His purposes, how they relate to their brothers in Christ. (And so, this discussion is really about men and women both!) And how can it be that evangelicals who may hold the same position, actually practice it quite differently?
When it comes to texts that have greatly influenced modern evangelical thought, we are dealing with issues of interpretation of Scripture, for we are agreed on the inspiration of Scripture. And so we can expectantly and graciously engage together in an exploration of what the interpretive challenges actually are in those passages. And the interpretive decisions we all make that impact the way we walk out our faith in the area of men and women in Christ.
In this workshop we will look at the spectrum of thought, the different ways and why’s evangelical believers have come to different conclusions, all pursuing God’s heart and honoring His Word. We’ll consider closely some passages that are most often contested in this conversation: Genesis 1-3, Ephesians 5, 1 Peter 3, Galatians, 1 Timothy 2, 1 Corinthians 7, 11 & 14. Come and dig in with us, in a respectful conversation, guided by Kingdom colleagues who are experienced in this rich discussion (and love it!) Our hope is to give you information and perspectives that encourage your own continuing journey in faith and practice.

Ronald W. Pierce (Ph.D., Fuller Theological Seminary) has taught in the undergraduate division of the Talbot School of Theology at Biola University since 1976. Though his graduate studies were focused on the Old Testament, he became interested in the gender question in the late 1970s, and has studied and taught on the subject ever since. It has now become his primary area of research. Ron has authored numerous journal articles, co-edited Discovering Biblical Equality (2005, 2021), authored Partners in Marriage & Ministry (2011), and Daniel (Teach the Text series, 2015). Ron and his wife Pat have been married since 1969, and have two adult children and four grandchildren.

SACRED RHYTHMS: Arranging our Lives for Spiritual Transformation, by Ruth Haley Barton
Spiritual disciplines open us to God’s transforming love and the changes that only God can bring about in our lives. Picking up on the monastic tradition of creating a “rule of life” that allows for regular space for the practice of the spiritual disciplines, this book takes you more deeply into understanding seven key disciplines along with practical ideas for weaving them into everyday life. Each chapter includes exercises to help you begin the practices individually and in a group context. The final chapter puts it all together in a way that will help you arrange your life for spiritual transformation.

VINDICATING THE VIXONS: Revisiting Sexualized, Vilified, and Marginalized Women of the Bible, edited by Sandra Glahn
The church has a long history of viewing prominent women of the Bible through a skewed interpretive lens. Eve is best known for causing the fall. Sarah is blamed for tensions in the Middle East. Ruth acted scandalously on the threshing floor. And Mary Magdalene is infamous for a life of prostitution. By misinterpreting their stories, we also risk adopting a faulty view of God. Vindicating the Victims challenges these superficial treatments and contends that we have missed what biblical authors intended to convey about 13 notable women of Scripture.
Dates: 1st Fridays (once a month), April 7 – Nov 3
Time: 12:00 – 1:30pm, Eastern Time
Facilitator: Eva Burkholder, Christar
Eva is an MK from PNG, former cross-cultural worker in Indonesia, and currently a member care provider with Christar. Wife to Mark and mother of two married sons, she currently lives in Richardson, Texas and enjoys blogging, doing puzzles, and macramé.

WOMEN IN GOD’S MISSION: Accepting the Invitation to Serve and Lead, by Mary Lederleitner
This book surveys women from a variety of cultures across the globe to gather their insights as women who lead gospel efforts. The author unveils how women serve in distinctive ways and identifies key traits of faithful connected leaders who resourcefully carry on with resilience and hope. Real-life stories give us so much to learn about the dynamics that inhibit women and also give testimony to God’s grace that causes them to thrive.
Dates: First Thursday (once a month), April 6 – Nov 2
Time: 2:00-3:30pm, Eastern Time
Facilitator: Wendy Wilson, Missio Nexus, Women’s Development Track

THE MAKING OF BIBLICAL WOMANHOOD: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth, by Beth Allison Barr.
North American definitions of biblical womanhood shape the everyday lives of evangelical women – from choices about careers to roles in local churches to relationship dynamics – and have found their way into the conversations of cross-cultural workers. This book moves the conversation about biblical womanhood beyond Greek grammar and into the realm of church history–ancient, medieval, and modern–to show how human civilization continues to creep into the church. Barr’s historical insights provide context for contemporary teachings about women’s roles in the church and help move the conversation forward.
Dates: 2nd Mondays (once a month), April 10 – Nov 13
Time: 7:00-8:30pm, Eastern Time
Facilitator: Beth Eckstein, SEND Intntl
Beth grew up in the Midwest but has made her home in Asia for the last 23 years, spending time in both China and now in Taiwan. Beth works co-vocationally balancing her time between SEND International where she works as a coach and mentor as well as working as an executive coach and corporate trainer for companies in Asia. She loves spending time in nature, especially at the beach, and is an avid reader.

Spiritual reflection
Leave with new relationships and insight
Opportunities for ongoing cohort learning and interaction following event

Facilitated by Ms. Wendy Wilson, Dr. Rob Dixon, and Dr. Leanne Dzubinski *
*More about our facilitators below
Event Specifics:
Facilitators will lead us 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. What do we have to gain or lose by actively pursuing a more effective blend of men and women working together at the leadership level? We will engage questions and interaction, and make progress on developing effective processes for your own scenario.

Are the issues traditional, theological and/or practical?
What can be easily changed (once recognized) and what is more challenging?
What might a helpful organizational readiness process look like toward bringing more women into leadership?
How might expectations be different between home office leadership, field staff, supporting churches?
As many entities desire to involve more women in their leadership structures (field or executive roles), what might be unintended barriers and unrecognized opportunities in this direction? Why do these gifted women seem so hard to find? And when we find them, why do they seem hesitant to step forward?
How can we create more avenues to find, develop, support, and retain more gifted women to bring the perspective and talent that we desire for our organizations?
What characteristics of organizational culture best support men and women working together in leadership?

We will explore the structure of gender bias in the workplace, including the 6 primary unconscious gender bias barriers and multiple subcomponents of each barrier. These barriers have been identified through research and are commonly (and often surprisingly) at play in the ways we function. As we identify those unintended barriers that may be at work in our own organizational cultures, we are free to think creatively about removing and replacing them with processes that more accurately reflect our goals and help us accomplish our mission.
We will also consider a variety of organizational practices that can help us move toward organizational cultures that invite, develop, and support women with leadership gifts and experience. By discussing several case studies from evangelical organizations that have grappled successfully with these issues, we can begin to cultivate readiness, embrace desired change, and establish ongoing pathways to bring the gifts of women more fully to bear alongside their brothers in Christ. The Image of God displayed and at work!

In August 2020 when very few were gathering, Azmera decided to host their first Stateside Summit for global workers who were in the US during the global pandemic. One month later, 80 women from all over the US gathered to be encouraged and connected. Since then and after attending many mission conferences throughout the US, the vision for the STATESIDE Summit has grown to be more of a mission event for women. Past and present global workers, global outreach/missions teams, agency leaders, women with a heart for missions, etc. are ALL included.
For More Information and Registration go to www.azmera.net

Be provided with a safe environment to process, be heard, be prayed for, be loved, and if desired, receive counseling.

Enjoy laughing and meeting new friends as you have the opportunity to CONNECT with other women living and ministering near you.

Experience teaching from the Word by women with cross-cultural experience.

Find plenty of time to rest as well as a place to worship and COMMUNE with Jesus.

Enjoy being cherished at our Azmera “ConnectionHub”.

Please join us for a 4-day Azmera Haven Retreat. Allow a team of volunteers the opportunity to be a part of expressing God’s delight in YOU.
We welcome women with a heart for God to come and have a time of spiritual intake, rest and renewal. This haven retreat is special for those women who can speak English to be a part of other women’s lives from around the world as we gather together to savor God’s Word. For Kingdom-minded women, workers & expats from various nationalities, and their local teammates. We welcome you to join!

The cost includes 3 nights double accommodations, meals from dinner Day 1 to lunch Day 4, tips & gratuities, plus the Haven Retreat activities from speaker sessions to seminars to the open spa and everything in between….Attendees make their way to the hotel on their own.

A Global Vision for Women: Exploring our Theology and its Impact

Invest in a week of personal refreshment and ministry renewal in a beautiful setting with like-minded peers! Limited places available – first come, first serve. . .registration closes when full.
Facilitated by:
Wendy Wilson (Missio Nexus, WDT) and Heather Althoff (LifeWay Church)
This development experience will help you sort through your own tensions and confusion in the variety of positions and practice on women in marriage and the church/ministry, so you can serve with personal clarity and faith as well as interact fruitfully with others on this important and impactful topic. Invest now in a relational learning experience with peers for renewal and growth! Learning is done in interactive peer-groups, guided by experienced mentors, with a maximum of 12 women in each group. First come, first serve! Register soon!
A Global Vision for Women: Exploring our Theology and its Impact Women hold up at least half the sky and make up more than half the church. Attention to both the plight and giftedness of women across the globe has been called the “moral challenge and unfinished business” of this century. As we plant and nurture churches in diverse settings, what are the current callings, challenges, and opportunities of the North American church and missions regarding women? Instead of fear and confusion, we can we have productive conversations that encourage God’s people to partner together fruitfully in their callings and engage the paths God has laid before them?
As we come from different perspectives and practices, we will grapple toward personal clarity and impact of issues like: 1) God’s relationship to women in the Bible, 2) historical surveys of women in ministry from the early church to present, 3) understanding the discussion around biblical culture and theology of women in key passages, with its implications and applications in various settings, 4) the narratives of women and Kingdom themes, and 5) intentionality in nurturing and stewarding the giftedness of women in our organizations. We will respectfully interact to embrace what is most important to us by faith, living it out with confidence and grace, and let God speak to us about what He is doing in our day! Some advance reading.

Mentoring Next Generation Women: Re-igniting Intergenerational Relationships
2022-10-26 17:00 - 2022-10-31 19:00 | AVANT, 10000 N Oak Trafficway, Kansas City, MO, 64155
Mentoring Next Generation Women: Re-igniting Intergenerational Relationships
October 26 – November 1, 2022 Kansas City, MO at Avant Ministries
Registration Closed: FULL – Check back in 2023!
hosted by: Avant Ministries in Kansas City, MO
facilitated by: Wendy Wilson (WDT/Missio Nexus) and Jenny Baker (SEND)
Invest in a week of personal refreshment and ministry renewal in a beautiful setting with like-minded peers! Limited places available – first come, first serve. . .
This development experience will help you build confidence and skills around clarity in reaching toward other-generational women as mentors or mentees, and strengthen your ability to step into the opportunities God is putting before you! Invest now in a relational learning experience with peers, in a lovely setting for renewal and growth! Learning is done in interactive peer-groups, guided by experienced mentors, with a maximum of 12 women in each group. First come, first serve!
(Other Module groups also meeting during this week: Discovering My Design and Personal Mission – see Module Descriptions for more information.)
Designed by Dr Barbara Neumann, Dallas Seminary. Do you feel a bit intimidated, frustrated, or just baffled in relationships with women around you who were raised in a different generational culture? Jesus set in motion the essential Christian tradition of disciplepship – passing on vibrant faith relationally, from one generation to the next. Young women today clamor for mentors/disciplers who will accept and guide them, but too often the older women that have so much to offer them wrestle with a lack of confidence. How can we build bridges of understanding and connection between generations so that we preserve the rich resource of women-to-women relationships as we move toward each other? We’ll consider influential distinctives of the Boomer to Millennial generations and explore encouraging pathways between them. We’ll explore generational values and perspectives on key issues such as God, spirituality, church, relationships, commitment, sexuality and morality, fears and hopes, the impact of technology and globalization. And we’ll explore the roles and desires of both mentors and mentees, discerning needs and commonalities, types of mentoring relationships, common mentoring mistakes, and how to create the nourishing relationships that busy women want to make time for! Some advance preparation.

While we are all called to a lifetime of growth in Christ and participation in the purposes of God, each of us is also given a special calling that flows out of our unique design for a particular contribution at this time in history and in our specific life context. Discover, or re-discover, what God has for you in this stage of life – to make your best contribution for God’s Kingdom!
Understanding how God has woven into each of us a special ability for contributing to His purposes through our life experiences, personalities, values, gifts and passions, allows us to experience a deeper sense of joy, satisfaction, perseverance, and impact. By gaining clarity and confidence around that personal mission, we can better recognize and choose involvements aligned with God’s design for us. Enjoy a week of coaching by experienced mentors and with peers toward the clarity that frees us from over- or under-commitment and a life pace that sustains us as passionate lifetime disciples. Minimal advance preparation.

Monthly Guided Discussion Group: Internal Permission Issues Plaguing Women in Leadership
2022-10-19 10:00 - 2022-12-31 11:30 | Online Event
Registration closed: in process (check back in Summer 2023 for another group)
Monthly Guided Peer-Mentoring Group for Women in Leadership
Featured Book: 7 Deadly Sins of Women in Leadership, Overcome Self-Defeating Behavior in Work and Ministry
Facilitated by Wendy Wilson and Melanie Lachcik
(*see below for more on your facilitators)
Explore with other Great Commission women the common ways women hold themselves back as leaders:
Women are making their way into strategic positions of influence and leadership within the church, public, corporate, charity, and voluntary sectors in unprecedented numbers. They are called by God to flourish in these areas. At the same time, women’s entry into the leadership arena has been the catalyst to uncover deep-seated issues in leadership culture. These external and internal challenges are not unique to women, but they tend to hinder women in unique ways:
Overcome limiting self-perception
Establish boundaries
Develop clear personal vision
Cultivate healthy work/life rhythm
Stop being a people-pleaser
Learn to confront, not collude
Be intentional with your inner circle
Groups are limited to 12 participants (closed when full) to best support both our new relationships and vibrant discussions. Guided by experienced facilitators, we can look forward to a deeper dive on the subject at hand each week as well as benefit from the varied experience of group members.
Because groups are limited in size, we count on group members doing all they can to be present, prepared, and ready to participate each meeting. While we understand that unexpected issues come up, we trust that each participant will honor her group by making this monthly meeting a priority. This way we can all look forward to the most meaningful experience together! Likewise, because this is a peer-mentoring discussion-based learning experience, sessions will not be recorded to support out ability to honestly process our challenges together.
Register by Oct 14 to assure your place. When your registration is received you’ll receive a confirmation email and Zoom invitation! Feel free to order your book right away so you have it in plenty of time:
7 Deadly Sins of Women in Leadership by Kate Coleman, Zondervan Publishers.

Cost: $30 when you register, plus purchase of the book separately.
Dates: Third Wednesday, once a month, Oct 19 – April 19

Time: 1:00 – 2:15pm, Eastern Time (10:00 – 11:15am Pacific)
*Facilitators: Wendy Wilson and Melanie Lachcik
Wendy has served in various capacities in leadership training ministry since 1984. Her great joy is envisioning and equipping women to participate in the grand calling of the Great Commission. Since 2012 she has served as the Mission Advisor for Development of Women to the Missio Nexus network, founding a collaborative project, Women’s Development Track, to help agencies and churches bring the full spectrum of gifts of women more fully to bear in accomplishing the Great Commission.

Melanie was first introduced to the Women’s Development Track’s Leadership Pathways cohort learning process in 2018. She felt that God used these experiences to significantly shape her, catalyzing her own desire to continually learn and grow personally as well as see others develop in their own leadership journey. Melanie uses her passion and skills to serve at WordPartners as the Vice President of Partner Development.

Leadership Affirmations: Thriving as Women Leaders and Developing Others
Facilitated by Wendy Wilson (Missio Nexus, WDT) and JoDee Ahmann (International Coaching Federation)
hosted by Wycliffe Bible Translators in Orlando FL
What helps us make our best contribution as women in leadership, and also to advocate for and develop other gifted women?
This experience will focus on 1) productive conversations and language that can help pave the way for healthy leadership partnerships as brothers and sisters in Christ, 2) gaining personal clarity, identifying inconsistencies, exploring historical and practical trends, and resolving tensions we may hold related to our understanding and application of biblical teaching around gender, leadership, gifting, and design – at home, in the church, and outside, 3) exploring what women need to do their best work and lead authentically as women, and 4) coaching as a relational leadership style to support a culture of developing people. What a privilege to have time with peers and mentors around these rich issues that can help us, and those around us, thrive!
This peer-mentoring community is guided by experienced women mentors and limited to a cohort of 12 participants, so we leave with important friendships for the ongoing journey! (A one-week experience) Some advance reading.
*Upon registration, you will receive instructions about getting material to read ahead reflectively.
Course Schedule:
Begin Thursday evening, March 3, with introductions and registration at 5pm, dinner at 6pm. End Wednesday evening, March 9, at 7pm . 9:00 am – 6:00 pm daily.
We will enjoy a worship time together each morning and a Free Afternoon mid-way through the week to enjoy the area and have some fun/relaxation (we’ll need it!) There are a number of options to enjoy in the area – from the Atlantic Ocean to a variety of attractions . . . or just rest!
Cost for the Week: $795 all-inclusive, on-site
We will be hosted by the Wycliffe Bible Translators guest facility in Orlando, FL. This all-inclusive price includes lovely fully furnished apartment accommodation (2 bedroom/2 bath or 3 bedroom/2bath based on double occupancy with separate bedrooms for each participant) and use of all facilities, with 3 meals/day plus coffee breaks, for the duration of your stay, March 3-10, except dinner on the day off.

Say yes to the opportunity to breathe deeply in a beautiful setting, as we discover and practice “new rhythms of grace” to renew and restore our souls.

Each day will have an opportunity to not only learn but to practice and enjoy His presence, as His beloved daughters. Enjoy a combination of quiet, personal time and social interaction with other women who are seeking a more robust spiritual life and walk with Jesus.

Equipping Missions for the Cultural Challenges of Singleness, Marriage & Sexuality
2021-04-20 12:00 - 2021-04-21 12:00 | Wycliffe, 11221 John Wycliffe Blvd #1 , Orlando , FL, 32832
Missio Nexus ’24’ Peer-Learning Event
April 20-21 in the Chicago area
For more information and registration: MissioNexus.org/events
Culture is rapidly changing with respect to marriage, singleness and sexuality. Mission organizations need biblically grounded tools and resources to provide constructive responses to these cultural challenges. Though singles and marrieds, with and without children, may serve shoulder to shoulder on teams, they have very different perceptions, needs and challenges.
What are the critical differences? How do we respond to the cultural challenges and live the reality of who we are in Christ as we serve together on teams – thriving in service and community? How do we effectively value and leverage every member?
This 24 event will equip mission leaders to develop answers to these questions through understanding the cultural trends, examining the biblical data, gleaning feedback from missionaries across the globe, and interacting with other leaders. We will offer a biblical foundation for thinking and reﬂecting on the issues of singleness, marriage and sexuality relevant for all cultures, traditional and western. In a collaborative learning environment participants will have opportunity to share methods for better supporting and leveraging single and married members in their mission. Together we can be prepared to face a world of challenges and lead the mission endeavor through the twenty-ﬁrst century and beyond.
This event will be facilitated by the Shoulder-to-Shoulder team, an initiative of One Another Ministries.

WDT Connect: Leadership Coaching Circle (Sept - April)
2021-04-01 - 2021-04-30 | Online Event
(registration closed – groups in process – check back in Summer 2021 for new groups!)
Mentor/Coaching circles are facilitated groups of 6-8 women leaders who want to grow spiritually and professionally, and who meet to encourage and support each other in an atmosphere of confidentiality and trust.
“Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17, TNIV
Who?
Christian women leaders – Do you need a safe place to talk? Maybe you need a sounding board because being a woman at the top can be lonely? Or you have specific issues you’d like to process with other women leaders? Do you want to expand your skill set? Do you want to embrace it, even if in this moment you feel stuck and unable to be used by God the way your heart longs to experience it? Then now is the time to get connected.
Facilitator/Coach: Margie Bowman is a Women’s Development Track Board member and has been a participant and leader of various ministries over the past 25 years. Margie comes with a corporate leadership background in Human Resources, specializing in learning and development. As a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) she has developed mentoring and coaching programs for women leaders in various career and life transitions. Margie has been married for 20 years to Dean and enjoys outdoor activities in the mountains and ocean sports.
What do you get? A guided 8-month, monthly Zoom meeting with your cohort:

encouragement and support with confidentiality and trust
connect with peers to generate ideas, problem solve and overcome challenges
safe place to be yourself and “try on” ideas
elevate your impact in all areas of your life
fun opportunity to network with like-minded women
experience of ways to mentor and coach others

Sharing your stories with others validates your experience as a woman leader. Surrounding yourself with growth-oriented women will expand the boundaries of your vision and give you valuable insights on your challenges through peer-mentoring and coaching.
What does it look like?

Kickoff: An initial meeting where participants will talk about goals for their circle, including the difference and desired blend between mentoring and coaching. This will also be a time to connect and through icebreakers, introductions, backgrounds and life experiences.
Alternating sessions:

Experience: Discussion around chapters of book, review of self-reflection insights.
Explore: A couple of assigned members will present for discussion a challenge that they are currently experiencing. Balance of group will ask questions and share their own related experience. Practice coaching and mentoring skills as selected by each individual circle.

2 1/2 Day Retreat: Renewing the Soul
2021-03-05 17:00 - 2021-03-08 09:00 | Wycliffe, 11221 John Wycliffe Blvd #1 , Orlando , FL, 32832
Hosted by Wycliffe Bible Translators in Orlando FL
CLOSED – FULL
Guided by Judy Lewis and Debbie Miller
This retreat is a guided experience of “Sabbath” with times of silence and solitude as well as refreshing practices for renewal in Christ. You will enjoy a restful setting for rest, reflection, and recreation in a beautiful setting. You will have a private room in a shared apartment. Besides the rich group and solitary times, our experienced retreat guides will be available for personal times of spiritual direction as you like. Enjoy corporate worship, walks, meals together for friendship, and open evenings for recreation, connection, solitude, or sleep! Our hope is that you will leave encouraged and enriched physically, relationally, and spiritually, and also in God’s vision for your ministry! Because this renewal retreat is offered just before the “Leadership as Women: Challenges and Opportunities” retreat, you can choose to come for one retreat or stay for both (register for the week-long experience “Thriving as Women Leaders”)

Developing a Discerning Heart: Deeper Personal Walk and Peer-Helping
2019-09-28 17:00 - 2019-10-05 19:00 | SIM USA, 14830 Choate Circle, Charlotte, NC, 28273, United States
Registration for this module is now closed. Check back for another opportunity in 2020!
Hosted by: SIM USA Charlotte, NC
Facilitated by Ramonda Lunsford
Based on the manual Developing a Discerning Heart, by Entrust. Do you sense there is MORE about “freedom in Christ” than you are enjoying in your relationship with God and others? Every believer, at every stage of maturity, has new ground to gain in experiencing the truth that has set them free in Christ. God’s heart for His children, and the work of His Spirit, is to expose the underlying lies that run and ruin our lives and, layer by layer, replace them with the redeeming truth that restores us more fully to the joy of God’s Image in us. Learning to discern the great information contained in our thinking, choices, feelings, and desires is a lifetime exercise. As we grow in this understanding and change in our own lives, we are better able to help others as well. Matt 7:5. Some advance preparation.
This development experience will help you build confidence and discipleship skills that strengthen your ability to step into the opportunities God is putting before you! Invest now in a relational learning experience with peers, in a lovely setting for renewal and growth! Learning is done in interactive peer-groups, guided by experienced mentors, with a maximum of 10 women in each group. First come, first serve! Register by July 26, 2019. (After this date, contact us to see if places are still available.)
Course Schedule:
The training begins at the SIM USA Charlotte campus on Saturday, Sept 28, at 5 p.m. with dinner and an introductory session. It ends Friday evening, Oct 4, at 7 p.m. We meet from 8:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. daily with lunch and breaks. We will enjoy a worship time together on Sunday morning and a Free Afternoon on Wednesday for a break to rest or to enjoy the area for some fun/relaxation. (Note: your residential conference fee allows you to stay on the SIM campus Friday night, Oct 4, and fly or drive out on Saturday morning, Oct 5).
All-Inclusive On-Site Cost: $750 Register by July 26, 2019 ($600 commuter price for those staying elsewhere locally)

It also includes training instruction, conference facilities and administration, transportation to and from the Charlotte (CLT) airport, and daily transportation as needed. (What a DEAL!) You will receive instructions about purchasing some materials separately, depending on which module you choose. (For those considering staying off-site and commuting daily, most who have done that report that they wish they had stayed on-site with the others for a more satisfying and less distracted experience!) Payment options here and on the registration form which can be downloaded from the link in the top right corner of this page.

Advance Preparation:
Upon close of registration, you will receive the preparation assignment 2 months ahead of time, for those modules that have advance prep, so that advance work can be reflective, reasonably paced, and enjoyable. (Interactive sessions are normally dependent on advance preparation.) Be praying now that God will use this time powerfully in your own life as well as for the sake of others you will encourage and mentor.
FINAL NOTE:
Though we will enjoy stimulating interaction and friendship, this is an intensive course, so we will also be interacting together in full days. But by being undistracted together for the week, you may even get a bit more sleep than you do at home! J (No husbands, children, pets, . . or chocolate you don’t plan to share!)

Invest in a week of personal refreshment and ministry renewal in a beautiful setting with like-minded peers! Limited places available – first come, first serve. . .
Hungry for More: Feasting through the Word. Need to refresh and re-stimulate your hunger for God’s Word? Desirous to energize your private and corporate prayer life? Long to connect with God and experience His Presence in everyday life? Whether you are currently feasting or in a period of spiritual famine, this week will reawaken your spiritual appetite as you have time to be still and listen. Each day is filled with individual exercises that push back the urgent and allow you to experience Him in fresh ways. Built to stimulate and stretch your spiritual senses, you will gain confidence in recognizing and hearing God’s daily voice. With lots of margin to rest and listen, you will explore His Word on the written page, as well as come to recognize His Living Word as He impresses your heart and mind. Based on both personal and group activities, learning will be interactive, collaborative, and experiential to increase your passion for Him. You will leave feeling rested, watchful, and hopeful for what God is doing in and through you personally! Minimal advance preparation. (http://hungryformore.org)
