Ministry Renewal Retreats Victoria – Facilitators Training

Great to be back with the facilitators of Ministry Renewal Retreats Victoria for their final training day of 2022. Tim and I enjoyed the day’s training again at St James Old Cathedral, particularly the great lunch spots nearby!

We began the day with a Biblical reflection on joy. We then explored recent work on anxiety and stress in ministry, reflecting on strategies facilitators could use in retreats to support pastors and leaders. To finish the day we assessed ourselves against the Renewal Retreat Facilitation Competencies.

The new resources are in our shared Dropbox.

Churches of Christ Conference of Queensland Renewal Retreat Facilitators Training

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.

Renewal Retreat Facilitator’s Training–PCA

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.

Welcome

Welcome to ‘the johnmark extension’, my current primary website. If you have attended a seminar or training day that I have facilitated, the notes and resources should be linked below in my ministry blog.

The ‘johnmark extension’ provides leadership training in a wide range of areas oriented toward the professional learning of pastors and the leaders of Christian and not for profit organisations. See the areas in which I am currently teaching and training
Leadership Development Workshops.

Many of these resources have also been shared on
The Christian Leadership Exchange

Developed out of our mentoring training, the MEQ course, which is offered in a range of formats from ACT accredited through to workshop based short courses, there is a resources site for leaders who mentor others. Check out resources on The Mentor Exchange

Over recent years teaching skills in Conflict Management has become an area in its own right for me. Find conflict resources and training in peacemaking here:
