"The African Way: The Task is Too Big" Esme Bowers By examining the growth of the African church, this session will show how team leadership that includes men and women working together in evangelism, discipleship, community transformation, socio-economic development, and advocacy is necessary for the spread of the gospel.   "Anne Marie, Eliza, and Maude: Single Girls in the Good-Old Boy World of Missions" Ruth Tucker This session features the fascinating stories of three missionaries to Africa: Anne Marie Javouhey (a French Catholic nun, founder of the Sisters of St. Joseph), Eliza Davis George, (a black woman from Texas and founder of the Elizabeth Native Interior Mission), and Maude Cary (a Kansas farm girl with a “call” to bring the gospel to Muslims in Morocco). All faced gender discrimination and all responded in very different ways.      "The Unfolding Fullness of Christ: Living Out the Slavery Texts in Today's World" William J. Webb Listening to the redemptive spirit even within Scripture’s difficult slavery texts is essential for Christians who want to live out a faith that unfolds the fullness of Christ in our world. This session will develop “movement meaning” within the text of Scripture, particularly within the slavery texts, and then draw parallels to the movement for gender equality.     "Women as Leaders in God's Kingdom" Bonnie Wurzbacher This session will take a candid look at Wurzbacher’s experience as a Christian woman in business. For the last 23 years she has worked for Coca-Cola and risen to the role of senior vice president of global accounts. During her transition from teaching to business, and her work at Coca-Cola, Wurzbacher found few female peers and role models, especially Christian women. This session focuses on the importance of Christian women leaders in business and in the church.
