STRENGTHEN YOUR MINISTRY WITH A BIBLICAL AND THEOLOGICAL FOUNDATION, GIVING LIFE TO YOUR PASTORAL LEADERSHIP, MINISTRY PRACTICE, AND CONGREGATIONAL LIFE.

Myk is an internationally recognised scholar on the Holy Spirit and how the Spirit informs other Christian beliefs. Myk has published numerous books and articles in these areas and is working on a number of major publishing ventures.

Topics covered

• Day 1 Trinity and Christology as the foundations of what we do, why we do it, and even how we do it
• Day 2 What is the nature of the Church, and in what ways do we need to reconceive the work of pastoral leadership, with a specific look at Worship
• Day 3 The identity and work of the pastor/minister and how ministry needs to be crucified before it can be resurrected and we can participate in Christ’s missionary activity.
• Day 4 What does prayer, spiritual formation, and ministry survival look like when the Spirit empowers our ministries
