  • 42) The Heart of the Father for the Fatherless (SHARE) - Chiangmai Room #2
    • Steve Weber, David Hennessey, and Lynn Johnston A father of the fatherless. In a literal sense, so as to show mercy to them, take care of them, and protect them; and this is a character which the great God often assumes, partly to express His power and providence over such, and partly to signify His tenderness, mercy, and goodness to them; and in which He should be imitated by by all good men: for it was not only a law in Israel to show regard to such, and take care not to afflict them, but it is also a branch of pure undefiled Christian religion, James 1:27, in attending to which we resemble the great Author. (Gill’s Exposition)
  • 43) Rehabilitation: Using Diagnostics to Create a Plan of Care for Children in Out-of-Home Care - Part 2 (SKILL BUILDING) - Board Room #3

    • Sarah Gesiriech, Anna McKeon, and Rebecca Smith There is a global, cross-sector movement to address some of the problems caused by missions team and volunteers working with vulnerable children in residential care centres. The panellists will share their experience on this topic and discuss how the funds and practical assistance provided by churches, missions teams and volunteers, despite good intentions, can inadvertently fuel the separation of children from their families. In addition, they will address the harm that can be caused to children due through disrupted attachment and an increased risk of abuse. Panellists will also discuss the work underway to make steps towards positive change and to increase understanding and best practice in child protection for missions and volunteering in general.
  • 45) International Leadership and Development Center – Ukraine (SHOWCASE) - Chiangmai Room #3

ILDC has developed a comprehensive way of serving in Ukraine that builds a best practice knowledge base within the country to give those working with churches, NGO’s and government a solid foundation of knowledge and skills to work with.

    • Gary Schneider, Malen Papadopoulos, Madan Shah, Sara Vargas, Julio Sagastume Since 2002, Orphan Sunday has been instrumental in leading thousands of individuals and churches around the world to pray for and serve orphans. From its humble beginnings in a small church in Zambia, Orphan Sunday is now observed through tens of thousands events in 75 nations on six continents.
