Tim Dyer – The Johnmark Extension
Teaching and training events
I always enjoy the opportunity to spend a few days with the facilitators of Victorian Ministry Renewal Retreats. This year we met at the Wycliffe Retreat Centre at Kangaroo Ground. We covered a range of facilitation processes including preparing and delivering leadership development workshops, facilitating mapping exercises, handling difficult situations and people and the Biblical foundations of Retreating.
This last week I enjoyed a two day training workshop with the team of men and women who facilitate Renewal Retreats in Queensland with the Churches of Christ Conference. Great to meet up with some old friends and meet many of the newer facilitators.
We have established a dropbox system to share notes and this is now active.
It is always encouraging to have a couple of days listening to the journeys of Ministry Renewal Retreat Facilitators. This week I enjoyed the opportunity to work with around 35 facilitators for Presbyterian Pastors, Clergy Spouses and Women in Ministry groups from NSW, QLD, ViC and SA.
All training and notes and workshops have no been updated in our group dropbox/
It was good to have two days again this year with the facilitators of Ministry Renewal Retreat Groups in Victoria at the Upper Plenty Conference Centre. This year we covered the the history and outline of retreats, the multiplication process, dealing with diversity, ministry times, catch up days and briefly introduced mapping exercises.
All notes should now be in the group dropbox
Back to Sydney this week for several training sessions including a day with the training team for Presbyterian Renewal Retreat Facilitators for NSW, Victoria and Queensland. It was good to hear the stories of clergy retreats, clergy wives retreats and women in ministry retreats. Looking forward to meeting and working with other facilitators later in the year.
Notes from our session today are being uploaded into our shared dropbox.
