AI is here – and it is here to stay.
Artificial Intelligence is already reshaping the world, including how we live out our calling, lead ministries, and serve God’s mission.
This session shares practical AI lessons from SABDA, Indonesia, and other global experiences, highlighting key pillars of AI-4-God. Together, we will explore what an AI-first ministry mindset looks like and how ministries can thoughtfully engage AI for the future.
Join us as we reflect, learn, and map out practical AI roadmaps for faithful and effective ministry in a rapidly changing digital world.

And we’ll introduce Bible Heroes as a practical model for forming faith in these new environments, helping children encounter Scripture relationally, safely, and imaginatively in the spaces where they will live, learn, play and relate.

This topic will be an explanation and maybe even a live DEMO.
People assume their emails will always be delivered, but given the amount of SPAM messages and misusage of mailservers this is not always the case. How can you as an administrator increase the trustability of your maildomain, so the likelyhood of an email being marked as SPAM (or even worse, not being accepted at the destination) will be as low as possible?
Various technical solutions are already defined to help you to increase the trustability.
So what are those accronimes, why do you want to use it and how to implement it; maybe even a live-demo if someone in the audience is having issues with their corparate or NGO email. not being delivered ((SCARY for me and the person asking for a check during the session).
