CHRISTIAN VOLUNTEERING UK LISTENING AND PRAYER SUPPORT
CHRISTIAN VOLUNTEERING UK LISTENING AND PRAYER SUPPORT
To prepare listeners to come on watch, we offer all new recruits a short preparation programme that aims to build the knowledge, skills, understanding and confidence that they need to perform the listening task in the way the Lord has commissioned us to do it.
The training is conducted on ZOOM - so everyone can participate from the comfort of their own home.
The Listener Preparation Programme comprises a minimum of 8 modules conducted over 8 weeks at times that are convenient to you.
Each module is undertaken with an experienced trainer, and takes around 2 hours to complete. The modules involve a mix of guidance, discussion, activities, skills practice and role plays. Modules are usually conducted in pairs to facilitate the sharing of ideas, role play and peer feedback.
The Listener Preparation Programme covers the following three key areas:
Three introductory modules help you to understand the vision, mission and core values of New Kapporet, to listen effectively and compassionately in the presence of the Lord, and to encourage callers to lay their problems at the Lord's feet in prayer.
Three experience-based modules help you to learn how to apply the technology we use to run the Ministry, to develop the judgement you need to manage difficult calls (such as where safeguarding is involved), and to practise the knowledge and skills required to be an effective listener in a simulated watch.
In Module 8, you will have your first experience of being on watch with the Lord, taking calls while being supported by your trainer/mentor. Each call is followed by a debriefing session, in which the call is reviewed and alternative approaches explored.
You can repeat Module 8 with your trainer, if you are want to further build your skills and confidence in responding to different kinds of callers. Your mentoring continues for another 4 watches, supported by experienced Watch Leaders.
