The Big Impact of the Small Yes: Why Your Hospitality Matters More Than You Know

If you're a leader who's been quietly saying yes — to the meal, the visit, the donation, the spare bedroom, the conversation no one else wanted to have — this session is for you. And it's especially for you if you've been wondering whether any of it still matters. Génesis Miranda Longo grew up in a Sinaloa community where the most likely future was decided long before she was born. What changed her trajectory wasn't a grand intervention. It was a series of small yesses from strangers — a teacher who saw her, neighbors who invested in her parents' new business, scholarship reviewers who said yes. The same is true for her son Kamdin, who arrived in the U.S. at 17 with only a backpack and is now in college, headed for engineering. In this 25- minute session, Génesis shares her story as evidence of what small yesses actually do — and then offers nonprofit, church, and small business leaders a simple framework for recognizing and sharing the small-yes stories they're already living.

Know Your Sheep: Positioning Your Ministry to Be Followed

Most ministries are not struggling because they lack truth. They are struggling because they are being ignored. Not because people don’t care, but because their message is not clear in the minds of the people they are called to reach. In this session, Prof. Kheph Rakhu will show you how to fix that. You will learn how to define what your ministry stands for, who it is for, and how to communicate it so it actually sticks. You will walk away with a clear position, a focused audience, and a simple way to align your message across everything you do. If you are tired of being overlooked and ready for your ministry to be understood, remembered, and chosen, this session will show you how.
