Overview

The one-day A Love Betrayed seminar for Thai churches will include a viewing of the film, short messages by Thai Christian leaders, and interactive learning experiences that will help your congregation understand the issues and apply the principles that are near God’s heart. Topics covered in the seminar are based on the values highlighted in the film:

• The value of every human life and the unique purpose that God has for each individual.
• The role of parents is to love and protect their children.
• The hope of restoration and transformation in Jesus for all who have sinned.
• The importance of prayer and sharing hope in the community.

Here is what the one-day (6-7 hour) seminar will look like:

• Each church or home group will receive a packet of printed teaching and promotional materials along with DVDs. This packet allows pastors or other church leaders or members to conduct the seminar on their own with families in their church. It will also be available on YouTube for those in remote areas with no local church.
• The seminar will begin with a brief informational video about the global injustice epidemic (approx. 5 minutes).
• Participants will then watch the entire 60-minute film, A Love Betrayed.
• Following the film, participants will hear from four well-known Thai leaders from various church affiliations (including CCT, EFT, Baptist, and Independent) who will speak about the following family values: individual value and purpose, love and protection of children, life transformation and forgiveness for all people, the power of prayer and sharing hope. Interspersed with their talks will be short clips from the film that highlight the value being discussed.
• After each 20-minute teaching, there will be an engaging interactive session that will include activities to further emphasize the values in a hands-on way and apply these values to our own lives instantaneously. The seminar materials will also include videotaped testimonies of real people set free from captivity of different kinds.
