Leader's Conference in Buda


      On March 24 and 25, 2011, Mike and Val spoke to 82 pastors and lay leaders in the Buda district hill country north of Davao City.  It was a wonderful two days of sharing from our hearts.  We were encouraged and refreshed by our time with these wonderful people.  

Mike: Four Rules of Communication
       Rule 1 = Be Honest, Eph 4:25
       Rule 2 = Keep Current, Eph 4:26-27
       Rule 3 = Attack Problems and Not People, Eph 4:29-30
       Rule 4 = Act and Don't React, Eph 4:31-32

Mike:  Anger
       * Anger is a Natural Emotion
       * What makes you angry?
       * When does anger become sin?
       * Levels of anger
  
Mike:  How to Win Over Anger
      1.  Admit and Confess to God
      2.  Give Your Anger an Expiration Date
      3.  Be Spirit-Controlled
      4.  Speak the Truth in Love
      5.  Express yourself Positively
      6.  Focus on Forgiveness
      7.  Steps to Forgiveness
            
Mike:   Training Leaders
   It is hard to find FAT people
      Faithful
      Available
      Teachable
   We must learn to train and delegate so that others will get involved.

   Principles in Training Leaders:
     Train others to help
     Teach them the Bible
     Tell them the work to do
     Transfer the burden

Val:  Sunday School Workshop



Steven and Esther did a song for the delegates during the worship time on March 24. 


All of us together.
