CRMS Facilitator Training
In Church Resource Ministries Singapore (CRMS), our goal is to not only help Christian leaders grow in their spiritual lives and leadership effectiveness, but to empower them to become mentors for others.
The primary way we do that is through training our graduates to facilitate our peer mentoring network curriculum, called Focusing Leaders.
This week, I spent three full days with a great group of network alumni who wanted to become facilitators for others.
We spent the first day talking through the Biblical/theological/philosophical foundations of Focusing Leaders – what lessons we are trying to get across and how to effectively facilitate learning. The second day we practiced facilitation skills, and the third day we practiced coaching skills.
With these six new facilitators (from six different churches), we have more than 50 who have been trained to mentor others with our curriculum. My hope and prayer is that the lessons they learned through the process and the training will carry over into other areas and relationships, not only in the Focusing Leaders networks.
