You are invited to participate in the first Society for Christian Outreach
Practice Excellence Conference!
May 6-9, 2013
Greetings in Christ!
This is a new initiative occurring to provide training, encouragement, fellowship and support to those who are involved in Christian outreach ministries in Canada. It is for both vocational ministers and lay people who desire to have a testimony of competence and excellency in their field of outreach ministry.
While Healing Hearts Ministries is firmly behind this initiative and is being headed up by Spurgeon Root (Director of Outreach Ministries at HHM) SCOPE is intended to be available to everyone and is not a ministry of Healing Hearts in particular. This first conference is the result of numerous conversations with individuals and organizations around the needs for training and support for staff and volunteers who are “on the front lines” of ministry and often dealing with very difficult situations with few resources.
Rather than each organization trying to address this on its own, there was a decision to try and come together and share this task. If you are an individual in outreach ministry, or a Christian human services professional with an outreach mindset we would love to have you join us!
If you are a pastor or the director of an outreach ministry we would invite you to send staff or lay volunteers from your organization/church who could benefit, and bless us, to the conference.
As well, we are looking for billets and some meals to be provided. If your church/organization would like to provide food for the conference please contact Arlene Schroeder at Healing Hearts. We are doing our best to keep the conference as cheap as possible due to the low paying nature of most outreach ministry.
Blessings as you consider involvement with the first SCOPE Conference!
