Today, at least 75% of the world’s Christians are non-Western and live in what is referred to as the “Majority World.” This includes Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Yet, 80% of Majority World pastors and ministry leaders have no formal biblical training to address the felt needs that often confront them. How then should they face life’s challenges biblically? This workshop provides answers to these issues, as well as how to integrate a Christ-centered worldview, even when it may be radically different from the existing culture.

Being the tangible representation of God to those you serve can place a heavy burden on any life coach. Those having a sincere and compassionate heart to help others, but who are also hurting, will often take on their clients’ issues to the point of feeling stretched to a breaking point themselves. The desire to provide support without setting proper boundaries can cause a coach to become overwhelmed, as well as spiritually, emotionally, and even physically worn down and fatigued, which increases stress and leads to burnout.
