Title: 7 Things Paul Teaches Us About Specialized Gospel Ministry in Anxious Times (60 minutes)
Make no mistake, we are living in chronically anxious times. Opportunities for face-to-face relationships are disappearing. The way we worship is changing due to lockdowns and social distancing orders. The progress we’ve made with pastors to implement a specialized ministry like Making Life Disciples (MLD) has come to a screeching halt. What can the apostle Paul teach us about doing life-affirming ministry in uncertain times? How can his wisdom help ensure our MLD efforts stay gospel-centered, effective, and nonpolitical? Come join us as we unpack and flesh-out seven timeless principles with practical strategies from Acts 17:16-34.

Audience: Pregnancy Center & Church Practitioners, Existing MLD Leaders and Those Who Would Like to Lead It

Enhanced Before She Decides
Title: How to Use the Enhanced & Newly Revised Before She Decides Brochure (60 minutes)
Presenter: Gary Freeman
Audience: ED’s, Client Services Director’s, Pregnancy Center Volunteers
Prerequisites for attendance: None
Description: Your center wants to find better ways to serve the men and fathers in your community, but finding the best resources to do this important work can be challenging. That is why we are launching an enhanced and newly revised Before She Decides (BSD) brochure. While over 55,000 copies of BSD have been given to male clients by you and your colleagues in pregnancy centers since 2015, we wanted to make this resource even better for you and the men you serve. As a result, this webinar will train you on how to best use it with your male clients in the coaching room. The newly revised ministry tool is designed for greater impact and will empower the men you serve to make life decisions, increasing their confidence and knowledge in what’s happening to her and what’s about to come. Join us as we walk through this greatly enhanced resource so that you can apply these new learnings at your center.
Three objectives:
- You will learn why the newly revised Before She Decides is essential for your volunteers and clients.
- You will learn how to properly walk through each page of the resource with a client.
- You will gain a fresh perspective that will greatly enhance the effectiveness of a volunteer's time in the coaching room with a male client.
