"The best adult education experience I have ever had": City to City's International Intensive

One of the key training programs for church planting offered by City to City is a 4 week, residential, International Intensive.

Held twice each year - one in Asia, in June / July, and one in New York in September - the input combines core church planting best practice material, along with experiencing church plants in the local context, and conversations with the planters and learning from their experience.

Both versions bring together young church planters from around the world, to learn in what one Australian participant described as "quite simply, the best adult education experience I have ever had"!

Places at the International Intensives are heavily subsidised by City to City, to make them affordable to church planters.

If you would be interested in finding out more about an intensive, please contact Andrew Katay on andrew@citytocityaustralia.org.au.

Coaching update with Ed Vaughan

Developing the skill of coaching for church planters takes time and effort.

Potential coaches meet once, for two days of training. Then we meet six times (via Skype) to practice coaching. And then we meet a final two days, to reflect, review and deepen the training.

We had our final two days of training on October 27 & 28. There were six participants involved from NSW and Queensland. 

Please pray that more churches are planted, and more church planters are helped as a result of this training. 

And pray for Roger Bray and I (Ed), as Directors of Coaching for City to City, as we review how we are delivering this training. Our goal is to continually reflect on our practice so we can develop the quality of the training.
