Breakout sessions at this year's Annual Meeting of the Nelson Baptist Association will go from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 7th at Parkway Baptist Church. You will have 5 to choose from. See the details below:

Reaching Gen Z by Tara and Aaron Branch (Area Representatives at Greater Louisville FCA): Who is Gen Z? What are they like? What are the best practices to reach them with the Gospel? Join us for this breakout as we wrestle with these questions.

Overcoming Objections in Evangelism by Jason Hay (Evangelism Strategist for the Kentucky Baptist Convention): Learn how to confidently share your faith by overcoming common objections with grace and clarity. In this session, you will be equipped with strategies that invite further conversations and permission to speak into someone's spiritual journey beyond the initial encounter.

Front Door Evangelism by Todd Gray (Executive Director for the Kentucky Baptist Convention): This simply, one-hour training is designed to help everyday believers gain confidence in sharing their faith - specifically through making intentional visits to homes in their community. This session isn't about pressure, programs, or personality. It's about offering a practical and biblical way for people to step out in faith and talk to others about Jesus.

Don’t Amputate your Missionaries from the Body: The Vital Role of the Local Church in the Great Commission by Jimmy Winfrey (Regional Leader for Latin America for Disciple the Nations): In recent decades, too many Churches have outsourced the missionary task to para-church organizations. This session will examine the biblical teaching that local churches are God’s chosen means for raising up, sending out, and caring well for workers being sent into the harvest. A special focus will be given on the practical ways churches can develop missions policies that honor their responsibility to actively engage in reaching the nations with the gospel of Christ.

Training Women to Delight in Serving Missionaries by Susan Bryant (Legacy Ambassador Representative WMU): We are called to serve with great delight because of the purpose for which we serve. This session will ask some basic questions: 1) Is WMU in your church, if not why not? 2) Why are we on fire about evangelism? 3) We are you attempting to run this race alone?
