A variety of presentation, consultancy & training approaches are possible … one just right for your context!

Sometimes the best sort of help is a chat over coffee*

Breaking the ice with a chat is a good place to start. Whether this is over Zoom/Skype, via a phone call, or face to face, the exchange of ideas and questions will help us both to see if something extra will work.

Sometimes the help you are looking for is:

  • a presentation for a particular context or program;
  • a more thorough review of what is happening in your context … what’s working and what’s not;
  • a deeper consultation or mentoring for you or a worker;
  • training of a general or specific nature.

Please feel free to use the email contact form to assist in getting this started.

* or your beverage of choice, mine’s coffee 🙂

b. Faith Formation Questions

You may have a question and need some direction in finding an answer.
Perhaps there is something about your ministry or context that is not quite right? Maybe you are aware that you don’t know what you don’t know?

The following set of questions elude to the sorts of answers needed to help form faith in children and others. Grappling with these questions over time will result in a review of your approaches to your ministry or to your parenting. Your exploration will either affirm and sharpen what you are already doing well or it will lead to some adaptions, new strategies and change.
