Pete Scazzero, Author and Founder of New Life Fellowship Church
Location: Gatlin Ballroom
La Ley del Tope y Roboam
Dr. Andres Panasiuk, Fundador, Cultura Financiera
Lugar: Wekiwa 5
Roboam es el ejemplo clásico de cómo perder la mayor fortuna
del mundo de la noche a la mañana. Después de 40 años de
sacrificios por parte de su abuelo David y otros 40 años de
una magnífica administración por parte de su padre Salomón,
Roboam se vé confrontado, en su primer día de trabajo, con
una decisión financiera… y falla miserablemente. En este
taller estudiaremos el fascinante pasaje de 2 Crónicas 10 y
descubriremos las tendencias de carácter, conducta y criterio
que debemos evitar y las que debemos fomentar en nuestros
líderes. Quienes somos determina cómo pensamos, cómo
pensamos determina cómo tomamos decisiones y las
decisiones que tomamos son las que hacen la diferencia ente
la vida y la muerte ministerial. Traiga lápiz y papel. Llegue 5
minutos antes de la hora. Los líderes siempre empezamos a
tiempo y terminamos a tiempo.
Live Missional Dr. William Lamb, Lee University
Location: Wekiwa 4
Church history reveals that mission often revolves around the
ideals associated with Christ’s command in the Book of Acts
to “Go and make disciples,” otherwise described as the Great
Commission. Although this is true, more is needed from the
company of Christ followers to be salt and light to the world.
Rather than limiting the idea of mission to short term or long
term activity, the road to missional living is a choice to sacrifice
oneself for the cause of Jesus Christ. This class will explore
missional values that help shape normal people into real life
missionaries that will impact their world for the kingdom of God. Masterful Mentoring
Dr. Gary Teja, author of Masterful Mentoring, and Dr. John Wagenveld
Location: Wekiwa 9
Mentoring is a cry being heard from many young and
emerging leaders. Mentoring is a key part of the solution for
22
reproducing and multiplying new leaders as older leaders age
and transition to other vital roles. This workshop will address
the questions raised by current leaders who want to become
more effective mentors and the queries of younger leaders
who want to understand how to be apt mentees.

Simple Ways to Ignite Your Discipleship Program
Darren Schalk, Christian Education Director
Location: Suwannee 12
How do we effectively disciple people? Sunday school? Small
groups? Midweek meetings? How should it all come together?
What should be taught? Where do we begin? Church discipleship
is a loaded idea. It can be overwhelming. Can we get something
going that won’t quickly fizzle out? Can we effectively see that
all our gatherings are actually helping people grow closer to
Christ? In this session we’ll discuss a few simple ways to ignite
(or reignite) your discipleship programs, allowing you and your
people to truly grow in their walk with Christ.
To the Regions Beyond Your Reach Is Only as Good as Your Grasp
of Preparation (Part One)
Host: Dr. Hector Ortiz, Ph.D., Co-Hosts: Bishops/Presbyters David
Browder, Stephen Masilela, Clayton Martin, Main Speaker: Dr. Ken
Gnanakan, Ph.D.
Location: Suwannee 13
The future of any institution will depend on the development
of its leadership. The annals of leadership have proven that no
institution can grow and expand without the intrinsic and
extrinsic development of its leadership. The present postmodern
world context will demand leadership development that engages
indigenousness, migrations, globalization, contextualization,
and ecumenism. In the new world order, mission outreach will
require a holistic integrated approach of ministry preparation
that will create a ministry of self-sufficiency versus a dependent
ministry. This is what the GCTS/ACTS consortia is committed
to—the challenges of the regions beyond.

We are the Generation that Can End Hunger by 2030
Bishop José García, director of Church Relations, Bread for the World
Location: Suwannee 14
Hunger is a massive, complex, age-old human struggle.
However, in the last 50 years, global hunger and poverty
have been reduced from 2 billion to 795 million people. At
Bread for the World we have faith to believe that this is the
generation that can end hunger. God reminded Israel through
the prophets to, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for
themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up
and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy”
(Proverbs 31:8, 9, NIV). This is part of proclaiming the holistic
gospel message of the Good News that speaks God’s complete
“Shalom” to a fallen world.

5 Steps To Connect The Generations In Your Church
Shelton Beneby, Senior Pastor, New Covenant Cathedral,
Toronto, Canada
Location: Suwannee 21
The best model for church ministry is one that involves
people of all generations. Generations are important to
God, who identified Himself as the God of generations—
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. However, the reality is that
the generations in our churches are disconnected. The
generation gap is real and it is causing some of our
churches to struggle, stagnate, or even die. We have to
move quickly to bridge this gap otherwise we will lose
the future of the church, our children. This workshop
will introduce you to five important steps you can take to
connect the generations in your local church so that your
worship services are precious and “off the chain,” your
ministries are vibrant, and your outreach is powerful.

Kirk Rising, International Youth Ministries director
Location: Suwannee 17
The 18 to 34 years old demographic is disappearing from
church, and faith in Jesus across the evangelical world. This is
no different for the Church of God of Prophecy. We recognize
three groups we must target for discipleship and training:
• The College and University Student
• The Young Professional
• The Young Married
Our goal for CCMN is to move this age demographic from
sitting in our churches, to serving the church and the
communities in which they live. This workshop is for those
26
interested in developing and engaging this age group in
the maturing of their faith, while creating socially relevant
outreach opportunities. La salud mental y espiritual de pastores y pastoras, fundamentado

El hambre ha sido una lucha enorme y compleja desde
la antigüedad misma. No obstante, el hambre a nivel

a 795 millones en los últimos 50 años. En Pan para el
Mundo nuestra fe nos mueve a creer que esta es la
generación que puede erradicar el hambre. Dios le
recordó a Israel, a través de los profetas: “¡Levanta la
voz por los que no tienen voz! ¡Defiende los derechos
de los desposeídos! ¡Levanta la voz, y hazles justicia!
¡Defiende a los pobres y necesitados!” (Proverbios
31:8, 9, NVI). Esto es parte de predicar un evangelio

Jesus said, “My house will be called a house of prayer”
(Matthew 21:13 NIV). Scripture tells us that the early
church was “devoted to prayer” (Acts 1:14, 2:42, 6:4). It
is the desire of the Father that every church today be the
same. Becoming a people devoted to prayer requires more
than programs and good intentions. It requires a faithful,
intentional obedience in seeking the Father daily.
Prayer Ministries exists to . . .
• Cultivate a culture of prayer in this movement for the
sovereign rule of God.
• Resource each local church so that prayer can be their
number one priority.
• Equip every leader and member so they become
characterized by prayer.
• Affirm our call to the family altar and make prayer a
priority in every home.

Gratitude Adjustment
DeWayne Hamby
DeWayne Hamby, White Wing
Messenger editor, points the
reader to moments in life
where God is speaking
about how He loves us,
His plans for our lives,
and how to love
others as He does.
Through humorous
and moving personal
experiences, biblical examples and
character studies, Hamby brings the reader to a
place of joy-filled thankfulness that can
be lived no matter the circumstances.
Prevailing Prayer
Brian Sutton
“Author Brian Sutton’s warm
and welcoming style overlays
profound spiritual truth.
Seekers of God who are hungry
and thirsty to know the Father
more intimately will not be able
to put this book aside. Reverend
Sutton doesn’t know about God;
he knows God! Walk with him in
Prevailing Prayer. It will lead you
to deeper communion with the
Father and victory in life.”
—Dr. Jeff Farmer
President, PCCNA

The Call To Stewardship
In February 2017, the Church of God
of Prophecy will embark together
on a study of stewardship.
Inside this book is everything
you need to enable your church
to respond to The Call to
Stewardship. You’ll find a
month’s worth of material for
your entire church; sermon
starters and children—adult
lessons. Best of all, it’s
reproducible! You only need
one copy per church.
Minister’s Pocket Manual
Brian Sutton
The original edition of the Minister’s
Pocket Manual was compiled
almost half a century ago by C.T.
Davidson as a resource that could
be easily carried in a minister’s
coat pocket and used for funerals,
weddings, and special services. Since
then, societal and cultural changes
have called for this updated and
expanded edition. May all who use
this work be anointed to minister in
the power of the Holy Spirit.
