SUBJECT: Training for Hope Events
Hello Everyone
There has been a lot of talk ref training for HOPE events and how some
people feel inadequate about approaching people, relating to them, starting
conversations etc etc.
Steve Jones who a lot of you might know is just a fantastic guy and so down
to earth and approachable and he would happily offer training to any group,
church etc that would benefit from it. Steve is a professional trainer and
is involved in a lot of areas like Night Church so really knows what he is
talking about and at the moment him and his wife are temporarily covering
the Children's Work Advisor role for the Diocese of Exeter.
He is easy to understand and not lofty and full of technical terms like a
lot of trainers though.
As Steve is a professional and this is part of his 'proper job' groups would
need to pay him, the rate would be negotiable with him.
I am so conscious time is going on and we do not want to miss the boat with
making the most of HOPE so please pass Steve's details onto anyone you feel
would benefit from his wealth of knowledge, wisdom and experience.
I promise you will not be disappointed he is a sound investment, worth every
penny and a totally brilliant guy who I cannot rate highly enough.
Steve's details are: steve@jonestribe.co.uk. Alternatively call down and
see him at Nightchurch at Exeter Cathedral on Friday nights 9.00pm until
midnight and get totally blessed by the awesome and great stuff happening
there.
Regards
Zetta |
