📌 THEME: Bi-vocational Destinations and Traffic Lights 🔴🟡🟢

This year's theme relates to how we have encountered challenging times that make us stop, other times when we have had to wait and be redirected by the Lord, and times when He has allowed us to proceed. In Acts 16:6-10, Paul encountered a time when the Holy Spirit forbade him to speak the Word in Asia and Bithynia. In doing so, the Holy Spirit directed him and his companions to Troas where he heard the visionary call to go over to help the Macedonians. That visionary call eventually led him to Philippi.

The speakers of the workshops have significant years of field experience and will present how the Lord directed their journeys of 🔴 Red (Stop), 🟡 Amber (Wait) and 🟢 Green (Go).

After lunch, there will be a panel discussion in the afternoon featuring "Singapore Church Leadership Readiness in Bi-vocational Ministry". As this ministry space is new and varied, the purpose of this panel is to highlight some of the considerations of the bi-vocational work and its relationship to the church. For this session, Stretch Out International (SOI) will be inviting a few church leaders as panelists to share their experiences. SOI hopes to reach out to the pastors and missions' leaders in our Singapore Church community to attend this session for discussion and learning experience.
