1. FAMILY LIFE IN MISSIONS
The challenges facing the Christian family today are many and the enemy is attempting to ‘redefine’ what marriage really means. It is more disturbing that many believers, ministers and missionaries are passing through difficult times and it is taking negative tolls on their callings.
This and some other issues are what would be addressed by seasoned ministers in this workshop class.
Facilitators:

- Prof. Kemi Okuwa
2. PRAYER AND WARFARE MOBILIZATION (REACHING THE NATIONS ON OUR KNEES)
As God’s kingdom advances, it is inevitable that Christians will be involved in spiritual warfare against the kingdom of darkness. This warfare occurs in two major settings: in offence against the kingdom of darkness, and in defence against attacks from the enemy.
The Satanic realm functions on multiple fronts, making war against all the systems that make up our societies; cultural, economic, political, and religious. All these systems “are manifestations of what John calls ‘the world’ (kosmos: the whole world is under the control of the evil one” We have available to us tremendous resources for spiritual defence and offense, and by putting on the whole armour of God, we can take practical, prayerful steps toward spiritual triumph.
Critical issues about our authority and dominion over darkness, the devils and hordes of demons will be engaged actively in this break out session with view to make your ministry explore spiritual mapping to conquer your territory for Christ.

The world is in desperate need of Jesus. Millions of people are dying daily without hope and without a Savior. If you can relate to this feeling, you are in the right place.

You will be equipped, inspired, and released to share the Gospel with confidence. Stir your passion to reach the lost – You will be challenged and inspired from apathy or inadequacy to gospel activity. For Pastors, this session,

4. DISCIPLESHIP: A CORE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LOCAL CHURCH
Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ. It remains an abstract idea, a myth which has a place for the Fatherhood of God but omits Christ as the living Son. … There is trust in God, but no following of Christ. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The timeless truths of Biblical and radical discipleship need to be proclaimed in every generation. ’If you want to be My Disciple…’ is always linked to the day-to-day outworking of following Christ in one’s secret life, family life, community life and in every other field.” The one ingredient missing in many of today’s churches is radical discipleship. Radical discipleship was the norm for the early Christians. Discipleship is not just a matter of bending your will to Jesus’ will; it’s melting your heart into a whole new shape. A disciple is not someone who simply sets a new priority; a disciple finds a new identity. The session strongly illuminates the central purposes of the church to train its members to minister effectively to one another, to their communities, and ultimately to the world in God’s mission.
What have you been doing wrong over the years in discipleship? Why are some churches making waves while others are merely watching as spectators? Find out how God planted your church to turn your world upside up as vibrant incubator reproducing disciples of Jesus

5. CONNECT INFLUENCERS AND CURING THE FAILURE OF REVIVALS
With a vision of the gospel for every person, an evangelical church for every people, Christ-like leaders for every church, and kingdom impact in every sphere of society. Across the world today, men and women are faithfully stewarding God’s call as leaders and people of influence in organizations, churches, schools, and marketplaces.
We must ask ourselves why revival seems to fail time and again? Why are the King Agripas not touched? Why are the Nicodemuses of today not saved? Why the Key persons in charge of education, Technology, Medicine, Businesses and etc not converted? What happened when Nebuchadnezzar was touched by God? What happened when the King of Nineveh was touched through the proclamation of Jonah? These are influencers. And there are influencers on the web, in music and all the strategic mountains today.

9. WISDOM MEDIA & MISSIONS MOBILIZATI
The rapid changes in technology and the pandemic lockdowns require we learn to grow our donor base and raise support –– without being face-to-face. There is an enormous, enormous opportunity right now to leverage technology in the context of missions, and we are not even close to tapping into it. Technology is the fastest growing industry in the world. Every year, hundreds of thousands, even millions of people are graduating from tech fields, going into tech, and almost no one’s [moved out] from it. And yet there are very, very few Christians.
AWMC sees the field of technology as one of the largest unreached people groups. That is a problem, especially since this particular group has enormous impact of the world. Whether you are a communication leader, pastor, or someone who wants to start or improve your personal online ministry, we thought it would be useful if you had a bank of ideas and tips to run and advance God’s mission with new technology.
