Church leader training

For many years we have been dreaming about doing more to strengthen the churches in this area.
Now we finally got to start our first church leader training. We invited pastors and church workers from the villages around where we live.
We had such a great time. God did some wonderful things in our midst- revealing the truth.
We had good talks on the old vs the new covenant.
As most of the Karen churches are traditional churches, many of the things were new to them. Some are very excited about the new truths they have learned, others need to go home and think through what they want to choose to believe.
This is something we want to continue to do.

What a blessing! For 6 weeks our team had the opportunity to be students again together with 18 other YWAMers. We also had 11 staff who were there to model and teach leadership to us. They poured into our lives by sharing their experience, mentoring us, preparing creative workshops so we could get the most out of all the teaching.
We learned a lot about being leaders and have some great new tools to use in our team. We have a lot of hope for the future and feel inspired to continue even though being leaders can be challenging! It also had great value to us as individuals and our personal growth.

Some of the topics were: mentoring, team leadership, integrity, self leadership, roles and goals, debriefing, conflict resolution, spiritual gifts, DISC.

Marriage seminars

A new ministry at our base is to focus on families. We want to see strong families, healthy marriages and content children. First step for us to see this happen has been to arrange marriage seminars.
The three seminars we have arranged so far have been great. The couples get some good tools they can use in their marriage.

Great teachers and eager listeners
