What is it?

A One Month Certification Program designed to equip and empower Wholistic Care providers who want to become trainers themselves within their cultural contexts.  Over the 12 months, students will join a cohort with on-line classrooms and two in-person training weeks in Malaga, Spain.  The training will be hands-on, experiential and include field assignments conducted in whatever context students serve.  Our hope is to have Fully Equipped Trainers who are…

• Skilled in the Wholistic Care of God’s people

• Able to contextualize Wholistic Care within their culture

• Able to provide training and supervision in Wholistic Care

Who is it for?

This program is designed for cross-cultural and national care providers who already have experience in pastoral care, counseling, spiritual direction, coaching or healing prayer, but want more!  We will help you build off your particular discipline to assess and treat a broad range of problems/disorders from a Biblical, Evidence-based perspective that addresses the whole person (Body, Mind, Heart, Spirit); and then prepare you to train others in your current context.

What is the time commitment?

Approximately 2 hours per week or 8 hours per month during the 12 month program, not including the two in-person trainings.
