When?
March, 29 1.30pm - 5.30pm
Where?
At Refocussing’s new premise (shared with C¹Church) at easy to find 8 morrow St, Newmarket (opposite 277 shopping mall car park -upstairs next to United Travel). The building backs on to a car park so there is great parking and easy access).
What?
Content: This course is an introduction to a new series of training which will get underway in May 2009.
This course is an introduction to allow people to (a) experience what Refocussing life mapping is like; and (b) to introduce you to the training that begins in May for those who want to become certified ’Refocussing life mapping coaches’ . The course proper begins mid May 17 and will be conducted Sunday afternoons for 5 weeks until June14.
This half-day introduction is designed to take seriously Habakkuk 2:2-5, which states ‘Write down the revelation (the vision), and make it plain on the ‘tablets’ .
- So the Refocussing Life mapping provides an interactive, exercise based, learning, teaching and coaching process designed specifically to facilitate you being able to define (through various exercises and activities) then, record (via various processes) and examine various strategies(via tailor made learning processes designed to fit your culture, context and ‘giftings’) how you can achieve the vision, the goals, the journey God has for you. This includes the people, the places, the gifts/strengths/ resilience factors , that you have when coupled with God’s perspective (refocus) and His resources and those of others to achieve this?
Who for?
This one day course is designed for people of all ages and stages of life who are serious about examining and creating a life map so that they can begin to define or re-examine the plans and purposes that God has for them.. The course helps people to define their own action plans so that they can begin to strategize effectively in order to see the a the vision, the dream, the plans, that God has for them, come to fruition in accordance with Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,” plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope”.
Our experience as a pastors with over thirty years experience is that this is a great need in the church. We realise that while many people do have visions, prophecies about the future, and dreams that they hold in secret – that don’t ever seem to go away, we see that for many they often fail to achieve these. Therefore we felt ‘called’ to help and coach people to be true to themselves and who God has made them and to facilitate and coach them to begin to know how to create an action plan to achieve these dreams and visions.
