“Go and make disciples of all nations…” we’ve heard this time and time again. And nearly every Christian would agree that this is the mission Jesus gave his disciples and us. The question is not what he called us to, but how he equips us to do it. In this workshop we will look at Jesus’ calling to us and why it matters in the world today. We will also be equipped with tools at the ready, so when the opportunities come in the promised plentiful harvest, we will be prepared and ready to not just share the Gospel, but have conversations that matter and begin relationships that will have eternal impact.

Challenges & Opportunities in Taiwan
June 13, 2022 • Ben Hosch
Taiwan is a global leader in microchip technology, but also home to 15,000 temples and strong traditional religious beliefs. Taiwan has religious freedom and some large churches, but only 3.3% of the population is Evangelical Christian. Taiwan has a growing pool of intellectual leaders, but also a large unreached, grassroots, working-class population. How is LBIM focusing on evangelism and outreach in response to these demographic shifts in Taiwan?
The Posture of Disciple-Making
June 13, 2022 • Tony Rogness
What is the posture of a disciple-maker? Sometimes it is hard to know how to approach the role of disciple-maker, but the posture we start from can make all the difference. Join us as we explore the foundations of our approach to making disciples, starting with our own place in this process, using the imagery from Psalm 1.
Discipleship & Shepherding of Women
June 13, 2022 • Gretchen Ronnevik
From the sexual revolution, to debate over Biblical womanhood, women returning to the workplace, the homeschooling movement among Christians, to the #MeToo movement: inter-generational discipleship of women has become harder and disjointed, and distance is often created between women and their pastors. It often leads to either workaholic participation in church or complete disengagement. We’ll talk about these various challenges to the goal: getting the gospel to women and disciplining them in sound doctrine.
