A1.
Leading Successful Congregational Worship
Language: English
Speakers: Winson and Claura Wong
All Christians desire good worship experience. When worship is led successfully, it is a reflection of more than just "good music". It is that precious time when God encounters His people while they are still on earth, a slice of heaven and a glimpse of the Eternal Home. In this workshop, we will take a broad overview of the elements that contribute to successful worship time, define the responsibilities of the worship leaders, and offer insights in a few critical areas that are often overlooked by today's churches in respect to worship leading. This workshop is designed with all "worship leaders" in mind (instrumentalists, vocalists, sound technicians).
A2. Understanding Chinese Cults
Language: English
Speaker: Cecilia Yau
Why are we seeing more and more Christ-like teachings--without
referencing the Bible? Why do these new teachings attract so many people? What
can we learn about fast-growing religions like Falun Gong? The Bible
has warned us that there will be many false teachers. With so many
different beliefs--are we supposed to be tolerant of all religious
teachings? This plenary session will help us to test these new
religions and discern the truth. Learn how to share the truth with
friends or family members who have been confused by these
teachings.
A3. Understanding Male/Female
Communications
Language: Cantonese
Speaker: Victor and Sylvia Chan
From the very beginning, God created men differently from women.
After thousands of years--many of us still have a challenging time
understanding how to communicate with the opposite sex. In this workshop
you'll learn how to relate to each other in a relationship, work, family,
school or ministry context.
A4. Dealing with Conflicts within the Church
Language: English
Speaker: Rev. Larry Tong
Conflicts within the Church body
can be very painful. Resolving differenced among people or
policies is never easy. Instead of ignoring these problems in your
church or fellowship, learn how to get the proper Biblical
perspective. This workshop will teach the tools that can help you
mend fences and build bridges.
A5. Sharing Christ Without Fear
Language: Mandarin
Speaker: Dr. Richard Yen
There are lots of reasons to fear sharing your faith: cultural differences, generation gaps, peer pressures and
many more. As a young believer it can be especially difficult to
talk about your faith with non-believing friends--without fearing
how they might tease you or avoid talking with you. How can you overcome this fear? This workshop
provides practical tips on how to overcome your fears and learn
valuable techniques to become a successful messenger.
A6. Financial Stewardship
Language: English
Speaker: Sau-Wing Lam
How faithful have you been with the
wealth that God has entrusted to you? Whether you have much or
just a little, workshop speaker Sau-Wing Lam (retired banker and
Christian talk show host) will teach us how to righteously
manage our personal and family finances. He'll answer common
questions, clarify common misconceptions and give practical advice
on managing your income, expenses and investments. Learn how to be a more prudent
steward while improving your financial outlook.

B2. Christian Ethics
Language: English
Speaker: Louis Lee
Our non-Christian friends are always quick to point out the
inconsistencies in our Christian walk. To live the life of
integrity, we need to match our lives to the faith we profess. Christian integrity is
much more than following a list of do's and don'ts. We need communicate our relationship with God and who
He is to us. Come and learn
the scriptural principals on how to discern and live a life of integrity.
B3. Defending Your Faith: Overcoming Difficult Questions About
Christianity
Language: English
Speaker: Victor Chan
Many of us don't feel we could ever answer rational criticisms of Christian faith and leave apologetics to
the "experts." The key to defending your faith is to
understand that even the most challenging questions really just
rely on a few basic assumptions. This powerful workshop will help
you to develop appropriate responses. Instead of dodging questions, learn how to address them in a way
that will open the hearts of skeptics to the Holy Spirit.

B7. Purity in Relationship
Language: English
Speaker: Gary Stanton
Getting a little physically intimate won't hurt right? We're getting married in the future

it can be tough to respond to these questions. This workshop is
will help you to answer these and other relationship questions
by looking into what guidelines that God has established for
dating and courtship.
