The Skilled Helper – Workshop by 4Twelve Academy
Would you like to be a more compassionate, effective, and skilled people-helper in your life and ministry?
The call to compassion and to care for others is one most Christians endorse. And many have a strong desire or are inclined to do so by virtue of their personality and passion. You enjoy touching others’ lives and want to give back to the community.
The needs of today’s world with its manifold mental health issues and concerns have also deepened this need for us to be people-helpers. The question then is how? How can we be compassionate as well as effective helpers? Answers to these and more are found at The Skilled Helper workshop viz
30 March 2026, Monday, 7.00 – 9.00 PM.
