Life More Abundant – Networking Walks

Sign Up

Purpose:

Create a space where attendees can process together what they are learning and brainstorm ways of implementing “Life More Abundant” in their practices, work situations, and home lives.

Location:

ALL groups will meet at their assigned time in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel. Please be on time so the group can proceed promptly to the specified location/begin the walk.

Description:

At the 2022 AMEN conference we have intentionally incorporated networking sessions into the conference with the goal of enhancing the ‘equipping’ component.

The network walks will meet Friday, Sabbath, and Sunday mornings. They will be conducted during the ‘usual’ morning devotional hour and breakfast hour to give 2 hours for rotating network walks and breakfast. Breakfast will be served from 7:30 – 9:20am and groups will meet for their walk before or after breakfast. They could also choose to meet during breakfast if desired. See times and leaders below to sign up.

The goal is to highlight networking and effectively EQUIP attendees as a central part of the conference. We believe providing an opportunity to cultivate closer relationships in small groups and giving you time to process and discuss the messages presented will greatly enhance learning. By sharing ideas for implementation of concepts presented, it is our hope you will leave the conference feeling more equipped and ready to make changes and share Christ more effectively on a daily basis when you return home.

Network Group Thought Community:

We encourage you to get involved and share your thoughts with your group members. Each day your group leader will ask you to submit the following online:

  1. My contribution to today’s theme/discussion is…
  2. Additional thoughts/ideas I have regarding today’s theme/discussion that may be helpful to others…
