JOIN US THIS APRIL 11-14TH

AMBASSADOR’S FOR CHRIST RETREAT CENTER LANCASTER, PA

Kingdom Resources for Christ welcomes all to join in fellowship and learning as we welcome long-serving missionaries, Jim and Janet Stahl and our resident English workshop facilitator, Brandon Morgan, to share vital teachings for a more vibrant Christian faith:

STORYTHREADS: CONNECTING LIVES THROUGH BIBLE STORIES

Everyone likes to hear a good story, and the Bible is full of good stories. When people hear a Bible story told by someone it makes them think of experiences and stories in their own life, there is a connection made with the Bible story.

This connection makes people feel like they have entered into the story, and they look in, and say, ‘there, that’s me.’ When we do Bible storytelling in a group, not only do people connect with the Bible stories, but they connect with one another when space is given to hear and tell their own stories. This is our experience with telling Bible stories. 

Afterwards, people feel motivated to share these stories and their connections to them with friends and family. This is where we hear how the Bible storytelling produces fruit in people’s lives.

Come and participate in this ancient tradition and explore God’s word in a different way, as Jim and Janet lead us in what they’ve learned from their many years serving in international ministry.

FROM UNDERSTANDING TO COMPASSION: TOOLS FOR BETTER COMMUNICATION

Professional facilitator and Project Arctos workshops lead, Brandon Morgan, will lead participants in developing skills for engaging each other in more compassionate conversations.

Do you sometimes struggle to connect with your parents or children? Do you and your partner sometimes talk past or around each other, rather than truly hear one another?

Regardless of relationship, some communication patterns can often leave us feeling unheard or misunderstood, resulting in less open and honest communication most times.

This workshop delivers the concept of asking good questions for the purpose of better supporting others and provides hands-on practice for the important conversations in your own life. Joins us for hands-on sessions at this year’s retreat!

Is the Evangelical Church in irreparable decline?

What key factors will lead to a vibrant resurgence in Evangelicalism?

Is there a key biblical theme we’re sometimes missing?

The Evangelical movement has historically been characterized by:

• Evangelistic-focused activism

• Conversionism (conversion focus)

• Biblicism (sola scriptura emphasis)

• Crucicentrism (atonement focus)

While this may be how Evangelicalism has been typically characterized to date, is this really all that Christianity is meant to offer? 

The 2023 KRC Spring Retreat (April 13-16) picks up where thinkers like Stanley J. Grenz and the Robert E. Webber left off. In the 1990s, both Christian thinkers were valiantly trying to re-envision and rethink Evangelicalism for a postmodern world—and yet, thirty years later, we’re still within the general trajectory of where they believed Evangelicalism needed to go, but socially and culturally, our whole world is also at a very different place today than the world they were facing.

As a corrective response, the above mentioned historical ingredients of Evangelicalism will be critically engaged towards a reconstructive proposal intended to internally renew the Evangelical movement towards something more holistic—this, without seeking to become “post-evangelical” or “post-conservative” (self-identifiers that some who have given up on Evangelicalism have already embraced). Instead, we’re proposing a re-constructive way forward for Evangelicalism.

Get access to all seven sessions of Rev. Wen’s reconstructive proposal for the future of Evangelicalism, available online via private link. And also consider joining one of our online zoom discussions, as we explore this proposal and how we can pursue a more vibrant Evangelical Christianity together.
