Leadership is hard and being a Christian leader can be doubly challenging! Burn-out and drop-out rates amongst Christian leaders are staggering. This week helps you deal with some of the challenges Christian leaders face head-on. The truth is that we are all but mere humans and we massively need God’s help in fulfilling the call on our life.
This course is based not only on our own experience in Christian leadership but also on decades of watching God restore Christian leaders from around the world. Whilst as Christian leaders we face all the same challenges a non-leader would face, we do also have our own unique set of issues arising from our position as leaders.
We want to create an honest, safe and open environment where we can come to God together and allow Him to heal us from our hurts as well as discover Godly approaches for navigating tricky waters and developing that strength of character required to sustain our God-given calling.
The week will be a lively mix of teaching, discussion, prayer, time with God and space for fun!
Registration begins at 4pm on the first day of the event followed by an evening meal at 6pm.
Departures are by 10am following breakfast on the final day.
