Topic: So We Do Not Lose Heart

We all have areas of difficulty that feel beyond our understanding they may just be too great to grasp! Having a biblical understanding of the heart affects how we relate to God, others and ourselves especially when things happen to us that can weigh heavy on our hearts. Learning how to ‘break down the heart’ through teaching and guided practice with the Ministry to Women Vital Link will help you read God’s Word and pray God’s Word with your whole heart. Enjoy a biblically rich yet simplified and clear approach to understanding what God has done through Jesus Christ for you—so we do not lose heart (2 Corinthians 4:16a)!

Topic: Create a Life Purpose Statement that Glorifies God

Developing a Life Purpose Statement that Glorifies God is both practical for the individual and useful for the unification of a ministry team to steward a more fruitful and effective life, for God’s glory and the benefit of others.

Do you want to live your life with greater intention? Do you want to steward a life that glorifies God—in all areas of your life? When we consider how our lives can best be used for God’s glory, knowing the why behind what we do, matters! By creating a Life Purpose Statement that Glorifies God we can represent Christ to others by bringing clarity and consistency, value and victory to every area of opportunity God has entrusted us to!  Discuss how to do this in group setting, why it unites us and when to use your life purpose statement. Or, consider requesting one session with Jenn and get started now!

Webinars and Workshops

Ministry to Women Biblical Counselling also offers group webinars or workshops held throughout the year (winter, spring and fall) and are available upon request. 

To Present Others Mature in Christ

This workshop includes principles from Set the Tone Around the Table and Change the Culture of Ministry to Women Workshop and in addition, addresses two areas of concern seen in women’s ministry and among women in the church. Practical skills will include the value of giving and receiving in ministry, understanding the indicatives and imperatives of Scripture in light of the gospel-responsibility to be disciple-makers, and careful attention to how we attempt to present everyone mature in Christ (Colossians 1:28).

Set the Tone Around the Table and Change the Culture of Ministry to Women

A workshop for Bible study leaders and Bible study facilitators who want to steward their God-given giftedness, stay teachable in life and leadership, develop practical skills to cultivate interaction and intentional disciples making among women within a teaching or counseling environment and help other women think Biblically and grow in Christ.

Stewarding Your Leadership Through Prayer

A look at Biblical stewardship and ways to cultivate a woman’s devotion to Christ by learning to effectively pray Scripture over ministry endeavors. This workshop focuses on how a deeper knowledge of God was at the heart of the apostle Paul’s prayers and available to woman today to live in full dependence, devotion and desperation of God’s Word.

Stewarding Your Leadership Through Wisdom

This workshop discusses an urgent need for wisdom among women in the church.  Colossians 1 and Genesis 3 remind us of our need to steward the wisdom of God, first in our devotion and application of God’s Word and when we disciple and share it with others. Together we will look at why caution and careful attention to the wisdom of Christ matters, in all that we think, say and do.
