Christians are called to a ministry of caring and can learn ways to show their deep concern for others. Churches are full of people who want to reach out to hurting people but are unsure of the best way. A Ministry of Caring will help you better prepare people in the church for the challenge and the call to care for friends, neighbors, and all who cross their paths.
"It is not God's will that persons should feel alone and trapped in their hurt," writes Ewers. "It is God's will that in the midst of pain and struggle persons will have hope for a better future and will discover resources in their faith that will enable them to learn and grow from their experiences. Persons, who themselves have experienced God’s care in the midst of pain, become channels through which God’s love and care touch the lives of other people."
In addition to addressing the theological foundations for caring, Ewers offers insights into:
- Listening as Caring
- Speaking in Caring Ways
- Caring for Persons Who Experience Divorce
- Caring When Friends Lose Their Jobs
- Caring for Persons Who Are Homebound
- Illness and Caring
- Caring for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS
- Bereavement and Caring
Help people experience hope and become whole through this powerful skills-training course.
