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.
