Carewalker Experience 2010

What people are saying about Carewalker:

• “Carewalker has been one of the highlights of my life at Newsong.  The training was excellent and we had fun, too! It has taken me to places that clarified love in the name of Jesus.   I am more open with people, confident in exercising good boundaries, and in feeling free.”
• “Carewalker Training was such an awesome time!  The materials were very relevant and were presented beautifully.  It was well organized and clear.  I walked away with many great learnings and reminders; things to share with my family and friends.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for your invitation to learn from one another and to get a glimpse of this great ministry.  It was incredibly replenishing for me.  I can’t wait for more!”
• “I’m really glad that Newsong is not afraid to get vulnerable and real… this will enable people to be more open with one another and through this; we will all be able to grow.”
• “I’ve soaked in so much just by observing and learning; thanks for modeling the principles.  The (Carewalker) leadership has such a gift of wisdom, speaking words of encouragement and challenge at just the right moment. This is wonderful training for me and I feel very honored to be part of this special group.”
• “Thanks so much! It has been a wild journey. I’ve learned so much….Carewalker has been a part of my growth for sure!! :)”
• “I am grateful for all that your team has done to bring a new dimension of connection to our community.”
• “Everyone in our group is a source of inspiration and encouragement for me because each of you is a reflection of our Father’s love, light, and glory.  I’m blessed to be sharing Christ with all of you.”
• “As someone who has undergone the training program, let me share with you that it is an experience of deep healing and re-affirmation of God’s grace and mercy for me. Although the program involves some structural teaching and training, much of it was an instruction on who God is and how He works in and through our lives to bring compassion, love, hope and peace to our lives and to the lives of others.”
• “It is wonderful to hear that many people have expressed their interest in visiting Carewalker meetings.  I know that God will touch their lives as much as He has touched ours.”
• “I have seen God ignite my care receiver to make some miraculous changes in her life recently.  It has been very heartwarming and encouraging to see… =)”
• “[I] find myself walking lives with many sisters and experiencing deep satisfaction doing so. However, there are times I realized I don’t have the right tools or knowledge to care for others. I leave our conversation feeling lacking and I yearn for some solid training and support. I would love to participate in Carewalker to better serve those in needs and to share experiences with others.”
• “I’m so glad that you’ll be doing this ministry at our church.  Your explanation during our staff meeting last week really helped me to understand what it was about.  I would love to talk to you more about possibly being a part of this!”
• “I was the only Sola Dei member to join Carewalker in 2008, and from my own experience, the two ministries can go hand-in-hand: my prayer team experience helped make me a better Carewalker, and my Carewalker training helped make me a better prayer team member.  Why? Both ministries are about providing a safe place for people to open up their lives and share.  Both ministries also require good listening skills and the same, unwavering commitment to confidentiality.”
• “Carewalker ministry is awesome!   God is using this team to help someone whom I have been trying to help for over 10 years with no results.   Some Carewalkers went with me to visit this person and there was a breakthrough…    I was in “shock” the whole night seeing how God works through Carewalkers.  I know this is just the beginning and we have a long ways to go; however, for the first time in 10 years, I feel hopeful and encouraged.   Thanks for doing what you’re doing……keep it up!”
• “I was so excited when I heard that Newsong would be starting a Carewalker, Stephen Ministry. Both my parents and in-laws are involved at our home church and I have been able to see the value that this training has brought to their lives. Now that the program is established I am seeing the impact of Carewalker first hand. Even though the training is extensive, everyone I have talked to has said they enjoyed every minute of it and use the skills daily. As we move forward with the Volunteer Revolution, I know Carewalker will be a primary resource for care and connection.”
• “Carewalker/Stephen Series Training has helped me in almost every other ministry that I’m involved with.  It’s helped me become a more compassionate prayer minister and a better listener when someone comes to me for counsel.  The training on Christian Assertiveness has also been invaluable, as it has allowed me to set firm boundaries without feeling bad about it.  Carewalkers gave me the training that I’d never had before.”

Ok, I’m in!  Where do I go from here?
