EQUIP 2007

One of the many good Christian resources that I´ll miss during my time in Mexico is: EQUIP - The women conference held every year. We´ve been going through the book of James in the main talks of the EQUIP conferences in the past 4 years. This year, the main talks will continue on the the book of James, ie. James 3:1 - 4:12.

Following the main bible passage, some the electives are going to be about ´the use of tongue´:
A. Better than gossip
Women love a good chat and gossip seems a harmless way to develop intimacy. Why then is God concerned about gossip? Does it matter if we are just sharing ‘prayer points’? How can we help each other develop more healthy relationships?

B. Lost for words
I wish I knew what to say when my boss says Christians are homophobic, when my friend talks about abortion, or when my family reacts to debate about stem cell research. How do we develop a Christian understanding of these and other complex issues?

C. Stress relief
From health to work to relationships, there’s so much we worry about. So how can Philippians 4:6 say ‘Do not be anxious about anything’? How is it possible? What does God say about stress relief?

D. The essential mum
Motherhood is an enormous privilege. But in the midst of all the pressures and theories, it’s easy to lose perspective. What is essential to being a mum? According to God’s word, what are the clear principles and what are just our cultural norms?

I´ve found the talks at EQUIP to be very encouraging in my walk as a Christian. Therefore, I´d like to encourage my women friends who are in Sydney on May 12, 2007 to join the conference. Or, if you´re outside Sydney like me, you could get the talks on the CD!:)


I´ve been thinking of how much we take for granted the abundant great Christian resources we have in Sydney. In places like Mexico or Indonesia or many part of the worlds, it´s really2 hard to have good Christian teachings and resources. Therefore, if you have Christian friends or if you are supporting any missionaries around the world, the CD from the conference would be an excellent gift idea to encourage them!;) (Yup, I´ve been distributing the CD from the past EQUIP conferences here in Mexico:))
