Equipping and Mobilising

TRAINING COURSE IN CHRISTIAN SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSFORMATION

The first course for 2008 is in progress, with 19 people attending. The first module was held at St Philips Church, Kenwyn, and participants are now back at their churches / organisations with an assignment to complete. The second module will be in May. Participants include several youth workers from different churches as well as older folk from various outreach ministries. In fact our age range is from early 20's to mid 70's! So you're never too young nor too old. Some comments from participants:

  • I liked the variety in what was taught and how it all connects
  • There was a wealth of information and strong integration between spirituality and development
  • I have thoroughly enjoyed it and have grown and been challenged greatly
  • I have learnt so much that I am overflowing.

We will not be running a second full-time course, but will instead have an evening course later in the year. Watch this space for details!

UPDATE!

The first Training Course in Christian Social Development and Transformation for 2008 ended on May 16 with lunch at Maphindi’s Butchery/Restaurant. Fifteen people completed the course, and a good time was had by all. There was such a sense of God’s presence and many felt really challenged in their thinking and greatly encouraged in their work. Some comments from participants:

“How encouraging it is to have like-minded people with the same goals around you.”

“I have learnt so much and I look forward to being a tool that God can use to transform my church.”

“The course was run with excellence. To God be the glory. Thank you so much.”

We will not be running a second full-time course this year, but will instead run the training over a course of seven evenings:

Dates: Monday evenings, July 14 – Aug 25

Time: 19h30 – 21h30

Venue: Church of the Holy Spirit, Raapkrall Rd, Kirstenhof
