It's time to sign up for Missional Marriage!

We'd like to invite you personally to attend the upcoming Missional Marriage retreat on November 5-7. That sounds like a long way away, but it will be here before we know it.

This is a small retreat (6 couples) and space is limited, so please let us know if you plan to come.

Just as a reminder: we believe that Faithwalking begins at home. Missional Marriage is designed to help couples learn to apply the principles of Faithwalking (such as listening, vows, authenticity, integrity, and community) to their most important and intimate relationship. We also want to help you have faith-filled, imaginative conversations about what it means to be on mission in your world, both together and separately. (Only one person in each couple needs to have completed the Faithwalking 101 retreat.)

If you're coming, we need to know as soon as possible. Please click here for the registration form.

If you're still thinking about it, need more information or want to talk about it further, please contact Trisha Taylor at trishataylorcounseling@gmail.com.

Faithwalking 201 Coaches Training registration is open.

201 COACHES TRAINING

Go to registration form.

What is a personal transformation coach? He/she is a person who provides encouragement and accountability to two people as they complete the Faithwalking 201 series. The encouragement and accountability is exercised in a weekly coaching call that takes place between you and your two assigned individuals who are going through 201. The call lasts no more than 45 minutes each week and occurs at a time that you determine in conversation with those you are coaching. We provide a free conference call line for the purposes of the call.

Are you qualified to be a coach? It is our belief that you have the basic qualifications that simply come from having completed the 101 and 201 experiences. To that experience we offer you the highest quality training that includes:

• Four training sessions designed to introduce you to a basic overview of the coaching process.
• Assignment to a head coach who coaches you as you coach two others. This head coach is available for problem solving, encouragement, etc.
• Eight weeks of self-directed study in which you complete some reading and journaling and then reflect on this work with your coach. The self-directed study requires 1-2 hours per week for the eight weeks.
• Once the self-directed study is complete, you will listen in on two coaching calls with your head coach.

The next training will be held on the first four Thursday nights in September beginning 9/2/10. There will be four classes, each held from 6pm to 8 pm at the Mission Houston office: 2916 West T.C. Jester, Houston, Texas 77018.

Reawakening...

By Melody D.

Faithwalking Retreat June 2010

"In my walk with Jesus there are times when I have been stuck and cannot see ways to change, so I 'commit' to remain the same. As I applied for the Faithwalking retreat, I sensed that the weekend would be a defining point and call me to new life. I was confused, tired of walking ahead of God and living with a root of fear. I was at a miserable place, but did not trust God enough to let go and follow His direction. It was time to stop, and see what He would do if I was truly honest with my pride, lack of trust, unforgiveness and brokenness. Faithwalking reawakened me to the beauty of our faith’s foundation to fully abide in Christ. … Faithwalking spurred me on to pray for a missional community of people with a similar vision of being agents of transformation in communities around the world. God answered and provided such a group! These new friends will be vital to transformation in this faith walk, as we seek to engage in God’s Kingdom work together. I walked away from the retreat with a renewed gratitude for the Lord’s desire to have all of me so that He can work out His purposes."

Faithwalking is creating a community of disciples of Jesus who are being personally transformed and becoming catalysts mobilizing Christians to become the functioning Body of Christ in their homes, neighborhoods, workplaces and 3rd places to serve the poor, the marginalized, and those in need, and to work for the common good and to restore individuals, social systems, communities and nations to God's design.

Registration is now open for October Retreat (22 to 24 Oct, 2010)
