- L5 -
The Art of Team Building
In Pune, India
January 19th to February 22nd , 2009
Since Vatican II there have been an increasing number of initiatives geared towards training lay Catholics in evangelisation and mobilising them into missionary service. As the number of participants in these lay missions programs has grown over the years, so too has the awareness of the need for more specific leadership formation. Faith formation, knowledge of doctrine, and an awareness of general leadership principles have often proven to be insufficient to meet the demands placed upon those lay people leading today’s outreach and missions teams.
- L5- was created to attempt to address this need.
- L5- is a practical, hands-on 5-week Leadership training course (hence the title) designed for people like you - Christians who lead evangelisation and / or missions teams for lay-missions organizations, prayer groups, communities, or discipleship training programs. The course will cover the following topics:
- Leadership & Team building - lay leadership, recruiting, forming the 'identity' of a group, “prophetic” leadership, networking, mentoring, problem solving, leading team meetings, understanding “team dynamics”, maintaining a healthy team life, creating a leadership team, and making corporate decisions.
- Evangelisation in a Catholic context - re-evangelising the baptised, a Catholic understanding of “salvation”, organising evangelistic events, evangelistic models that work, evangelisation and ecumenism, building communities, “kerygma” and “didache”, reaching the unreached.
