7 8:30 a.m. – 2:10 p.m. EXODUS EXHORTATIONS $ ‰ If you want to make the most of your convention experience, plan to arrive Sunday night to be on­hand for our pre­conference Monday workshops. Three tracks will follow our Exodus theme, using the context of Moses, Miracles, and Manna. Each track promises a deep dive into sessions on leadership, transformative programs, and resource development. There are three workshops in each track, and—no need to strike a rock—lunch is included in your early education fee. Moses: Leading a Movement (three workshops) In Jewish tradition, Moses stands as one of the greatest prophets. He challenged Pharaoh, led the Israelites through the desert, and guided them to the edge of Canaan. Like the Israelites moving toward the Promised Land, our member ministries, too, are following God’s leading into new strategies and methods. Moses wasn’t a perfect leader, and that’s why his leadership journey provides a great framework to discuss:  Session 1: Finding and Developing Your Joshuas  Session 2: Leading a Cultural Shift in the Face of Adversity  Session 3: Influencing Others Through Thought Leadership Miracles: Serving Clients through a Deeper Understanding (three workshops) The children of Israel witnessed miracle after miracle, yet their journey to the Promised Land was marked by complaining, raising up idols, and attempts to return to old ways. The people we serve struggle in these ways too, and society continues to devise new ways to enslave. We’ll talk about:  Session 1: Understanding Trauma­Informed Care and Its Effect on Clients  Session 2: Engaging in the Fight Against Human Trafficking at All Levels  Session 3: Leading People Through an Abusive Past and Into a Meaningful Life Manna: Sharing the Vision to Expand Your Reach (three workshops) Manna was God’s provision to help His people survive in the wilderness while learning to depend on Him day by day. They were never intended to sustain themselves with manna long­term; only until they reached the border of Canaan. How do you embolden donors to look past the giants in the land and invest in long­term transformation? Together, we’ll uncover strategies for:  Session 1: Ensuring Your Resources Keep Pace with the Vision of Your Organization  Session 2: Involving Your Donors in the Call for Life­Transformation Programs  Session 3: Aligning Your Message with Donors’ Values 8:30 a.m. – 9:55 a.m. Exodus Exhortations Session 1 10:15 a.m. – 11:40 a.m. Exodus Exhortations Session 2 11:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Lunch (For Exodus Exhortations and Enter Here attendees.) 12:45 p.m. – 2:10 p.m. Exodus Exhortations Session 3 OPTIONAL
