Download or read book Qualifications Skills and Theological Foundations for Lay Counselors in Local Church written by Hye Sook Chung and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contents in this book were submitted for Ph.D dissertation at Trinity Theological Seminary. I have worked on this book, considering lay counselor training in local church. Lots of materials in this book come from Biblical Counseling Center, one of national biblical counseling organizations, located in Arlington Heights, IL. I analyzed and systematized the data from Christian counseling perspective, and suggested the 21st ideal model of lay counselor, rooted in biblical and contemporary adaptive lens. Compared to traditional conservative counseling, this approach has a broader perspective, focused on the work of the Holy Spirit and psychological knowledge based on General Revelation, one of God's revelations. In the past, the conservative party has emphasized the word of God only, but the Word of God works together with the illumination of the Holy Spirit (John 16:13). In addition, psychology is helpful to understand human needs and problems. The crucial issue here is not whether we use the psychology, but how we use psychology in the light and authority of the Word of God.

Download or read book International Lay Counselor Training written by David Carson and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health is the least developed and most neglected area of health care in developing countries, and believers there, like anywhere in the world, are not exempt from experiencing the full range of mental and emotional disorders, as well as marital and family difficulties. However, given the extreme scarcity of mental health professionals and services available, and the resources to develop and support them, the authors contend that these needs within and beyond the church will only be met through a comprehensive lay counselor training approach. Since many Christians in developing countries also view counseling as a potential outreach and evangelistic tool, such a training program holds unlimited possibilities. Indeed, the need and demands for skilled, knowledgeable lay counselors within the local church and larger Christian community around the world have never been greater. This book outlines a training-the-trainers program that is currently being implemented in South and Southeast Asia by the first and second author. Our belief is that any part of this program can be adapted to trainers and trainees in various parts of the world where Christian organizations and church bodies in host countries request the training. In following Jesus command to feed my sheep , Christians are in a unique position to be leaders in addressing the mental health needs of people in their church bodies, mission and development organizations, and respective communities.

Download or read book Christ and the Marginalized written by Elizabeth Hernandez and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever lost something or someone of infinite value to you? Have you ever been wounded in a profound way? You are not alone. The majority of us will confront times when we feel lost, vulnerable, and in need of a helping hand: someone who will stretch out their hand and say, "Rise up!" Yet not everyone will have access to a trained professional or the financial resources to access those services--and this is especially the case for the poor and downtrodden in our world today. So many of us yearn to experience the healing of our souls; encountering a shepherd-helper with a caring spirit can lead us on the pathway to the other side of pain. The average person can show compassion and grow in that ability if they are equipped to do so. This book offers people of faith the lay counseling skills that will enable the church to help others in their brokenness and pain, with the goal of strengthening many, joining Christ in his work among the marginalized.
