OBJECTIVE OF THE SEMINAR
Trauma Healing Seminar trains facilitators to equip others as trauma healers, discovering in a deeper way who God is in the Scripture narrative regarding suffering. It unites proven mental health practices and engagement with Scripture enabling healing and wholeness to occur, and putting it into the hands of trauma healers, a way for the Gospel of Christ and His Word to be embraced throughout the whole world.
FORMATION & INTENDED STUDENTS
Our desire within Youth With a Mission is to take the gospel of Christ to the Nations and see many be discipled so that they might know and love God. However, when someone is traumatized, they often have a block between their head and heart and are not able to fully engage with scripture or enjoy an intimate relationship with the Lord. Once the trauma is addressed, the person can be truly freed to understand the gospel and know and love God and others. They become human bearers of hope and the compassionate God who is not untouched by human ailments.
Its for people that are willing to identify their own “heart wounds” and desire to bring them to Christ and find freedom in Him, thus becoming increasingly effective ministers in seeing lives transformed and the Gospel of Christ and His Word embraced throughout the world!
