Working from a Place of Rest: Member Care Seminar
Are you working FOR God, or working WITH God?
Our guest presenter, Tony Horsfall has designed this seminar/workshop for Pastors and Leaders in Churches and Christian organisations, whether paid or voluntary, full-time or part-time. The aim is to teach participants how to work with God, not just for God. It aims to prevent burnout, and to restore the joy to Christian service by recognizing that it is God’s work, not ours.
It covers such topics as :
· Beating burnout: the causes and cure of burnout from the ministry of Jesus, and his words in Matthew 11:28-30
· Working from a place of rest: the pattern of ministry in the lives of Jesus and Paul, and how God wants to work in us. Characteristics of working from a place of rest.
· Bearing fruit the natural way: what we mean by “fruit” - and the BIG lesson of brokenness that enables us to abide in Christ and experience the exchanged life.
· To run and not grow weary: knowing who God is and understanding ourselves from the perspective of Isaiah chapter 40 - Coming to an end of ourselves and being renewed in God.
About our Guest Speaker & Charis Training
Charis Training reflects the teaching and training ministry of Tony Horsfall. Tony is married to Jilly, and they live in Bournemouth on the south coast of England. Between them they have four children and six grandchildren
Tony Became a Christian at the age of fourteen, being converted in the Methodist Chapel in the village where he grew up in Yorkshire, England. After studying at London Bible College, where he graduated with a BD (Hons), he completed his teacher training at Carnegie College in Leeds (CertEd).
After a short spell of teaching, Tony joined the Overseas Missionary Fellowship, and worked in a church planting ministry in Sarawak, Malaysia (1975-83). After returning to England Tony pastored a church in West Yorkshire until 1993, when he became a full-time trainer with EQUIP, a missions training programme based at Bawtry Hall near Doncaster.
In 2000 Tony began to explore contemplative spirituality, seeking to integrate its insights into the evangelical and charismatic framework. Convinced of the importance of intimacy with God as the foundation of all effective ministry, he moved into a freelance ministry in 2002, with the intention of helping others to experience the grace of God in their lives and to be drawn into a closer fellowship with Him.
Tony has been involved in local church leadership for over 30 years. He regularly travels to Singapore and Malaysia to share the message of grace and intimacy with missionaries and church leaders. For several years he served as Pastoral Carer for Mission Aviation Fellowship, regularly visiting their teams in seven African countries. He is the author of several books, including Rhythms of Grace, Deep Calls to Deep, A Fruitful Life and Spiritual Growth in a Time of Change.
It is the aim of Charis Training to enable individuals (and especially those in full-time Christian ministry) to experience the wonderful grace of God in a personal way, and as a result begin to enjoy the kind of intimacy with God that is promised to us in the Bible, and which leads to a fruitful and effective life.
