WORKSHOP SESSION 2

Prophetic Obedience: Leading from a Place of Brokenness & Rejection
01_LEADERSHIP & POWER
SPEAKER NAME: KEN WYTSMA

The Vine Centre: Lower House

The prophets weren’t heroes in the way we often imagine. They were doubters, grievers, wanderers—people who carried the weight of God’s message through personal anguish and public resistance. Their lives embodied a kind of leadership that was forged in silence, suffering, and sacred discomfort. Their words rose out of confusion and unanswered prayers, not out of power or position. In this session, we’ll explore how prophetic witness today must also emerge from places where faith feels thin and the cost of truth is high. We’ll reflect on what it means to lead not from certainty, but from sacred discomfort - and how to stay faithful to a calling that often isolates, wounds, and breaks us open. Prophetic leadership is about an open obedience to a calling and life that is often the furthest from what we would choose.
Resisting Erasure: Surviving and Thriving Under Systems of Displacement
02_CONFLICT & DISPLACEMENT
SPEAKER NAME: DR. LAMMA MANSOUR
-
The Vine Centre: Upper House
-
Cedar Fund
-
Violence, displacement, and structural injustice have left countless communities in ruins - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In the face of such devastation, easy answers and shallow hope fall flat. Scripture invites us into a deeper, more honest path: lament that dares to name the pain, and hope that does not dismiss it. This workshop will explore lament as a spiritual and political act, and hope as a commitment to the Kingdom of God. Together, we will ask what it means to bear witness to the world’s wounds, and how the church might embody a hope that is rooted in truth, sustained in community, and committed to justice.
Rewiring Systems from Exploitation to Restoration
03_VULNERABILITY & EXPLOITATION
SPEAKER NAME: DR. BRUNO ROCHE
-
MIC: B/F Wesley Chapel (130-150)
-
HOPE International
-
What if our economic systems were not built around the management of scarcity, driven by competition, and based on extraction, but around the reception of abundance, powered by mutuality, and aimed at restoration? This session explores how a justice-oriented imagination can reshape the way we use resources, define value, and structure systems for the flourishing of all — not just the few. Moving beyond models that extract financial value for a minority toward models that generate mutual value for society, we will examine how reimagined enterprises, cities, and nations oriented toward Mutual Prosperity can help dismantle systems of exploitation and rebuild structures that uphold human dignity, foster social cohesion, and care for the Creation.
04_BROKEN GENERATIONS
Is this a Lost Generation?
SPEAKER NAME: SKY SIU
-
MIC: 5/F Fellowship Hall (150-180)
-
Mother’s Choice
-
A generation is growing up in the wake of fractured families, systemic neglect, and overwhelming societal pressures—often without the safety net of stable families and homes. The impact on this younger generation is multifaceted and requires society to respond with a holistic approach. What is the role that the church and believers in reshaping society so that belonging, identity, and communities can be restored and help heal generational wounds.
Sacred Metrics: How Measuring Impact Honours God and those that we serve
05_JUSTICE & LIFESTYLE
SPEAKER NAME: DR. LINCOLN LAU
-
MIC: 6/F Comunity hall (240)
-
Compassion International
-
Is tracking impact a distraction from spiritual work—or could it be one of its most faithful expressions? In a world where evidence-based approaches can feel like an over-emphasis on numbers and miss the depth of spiritual impact, some organisations hesitate to measure results. But the biblical narrative is rich with language of fruitfulness, stewardship, and accountability. Scripture doesn’t shy away from outcomes and rigour - it calls us to them. This session explores how measuring impact isn’t a departure from faith - it’s an extension of it, helping us steward our mission with integrity, clarity, and care for the communities we serve.
