ANDY MILLS: What's a nice Brit-turned-Yank doing speaking at #HON15?

Speaking about WORK, of course. 

Andy is primed and passionate about giving new value, meaning and purpose to WORK. Andy says, "Something is wrong: Christians are like everybody else in the work place. Work is utilitarian on the one hand and idolatry defining self-worth on the other. Neither end works. It does not bring shalom or peace. There's no vision for God nor the possibility that God cares."

That's why Andy's speaking at HONOLULU 2015. Andy is here to help us ask how are we defined by our work. Does God really cares about our work or are we second-class citizens who chose the work place? 

Andy's background is The Workplace. His unique and extensive background includes leading one of the largest global information companies as CEO and board member of the Thomson Financial and Professional Publishing unit of The Thomson Corporation, which under his leadership grew revenue to exceed $3.5 billion. He has also provided key leadership to a variety of innovative non-profit organizations.

Andy's foundation, however, is Christ. Co-Chair of the Theology of Work Project, he speaks frequently on work and faith, devotes most of his time to Christian ministry as a missionary from Hope Christian Church in Winchester MA, as a senior fellow at The King’s College in New York City where he was previously president and chairman of the board and in active mentoring of men of all ages. He is a regular traveler to Africa where he is involved in economic development activities in the West Nile region of Uganda and is co-founder of the Mango Fund.

Andy received his BA from Oxford University and his MBA from Harvard University. Andy lives in Winchester, MA with his wife Gail of 31 years. They have two children, Victoria and Christopher, and as foster parents have welcomed more than 30 children into their family since 1999.

Here's where and when Andy will be speaking at HONOLULU 2015:

HONOLULU 2015: The Largest Annual Gathering of Christians in Hawaii | March 19-21, 2015 |
Hawaii Convention Center |

TAKE THE HEIGH-HO-HUM-DRUM OUT OF WORK

Do you ever feel like one of Snow White's Seven Dwarves, marching off day after day to the endless, meaningless, unfulfilling drudgery of that 4-letter word "WORK?"

HARD WORK, HARD WORK! HARD WORK, WORK!  

HIM's HONOLULU 2015 preconference session on WORK can help you gain perspective!
HONOLULU 2015, March 19, 2015 | 9 am - 4 pm | Hawaii Convention Center

Led by businessman Andy Mills, co-chair of the Theology of Work project and senior fellow at The King's College in New York City, this interactive session will take you out of the salt mines to develop a rich Kingdom minded understanding that redeems your WORK.

Session 1 - The Problem of Work
70% of people working are not engaged by the work they do and Christians are no exception. What are the problems we have with work? What are the specific problems that Christians have? Why do so many of us feel like second class citizens in the Christian world? This first session will look at these issues and help us understand the issues surrounding the workplace.

Session 2 - God's Vision for Work
Does God have a specific purpose for work? Does God have a vision for work? Does God have roles for each of us to play? Is work a calling? Unless we understand God's vision for work, how can we fully engage in the workplace in a way that is consistent with His will for our lives? This session will look at what Scriptures has to say about God's basic vision for work so that we can be properly oriented in the marketplace.

Session 3 - How Should We Work?
Once we understand God's vision for work and our role in it, are there specific ways that God wants us to work? How does God evaluate our performance? How might Christians think differently about working with others? This session will highlight several Scriptural themes that will help you think about "how" we should work.

Session 4 - The Impact Of Work
Finally we will take time to look at the Impact of Work? How does work impact human flourishing? What benefits does it bring? How can work help us love our neighbor? Is work a platform for evangelism? How do we think about wealth and influence that work might bring?
Each session will comprise a prepared presentation and an expansive Q&A Session that will allow for plentiful interaction.
