Keys to great leadership
My role as Family Life Pastor at my church takes me into all kinds of different situations in people lives. We are faced with representing Jesus as an incredible privilege and joy but also one of responsibility and sensitivity. Authentic Leadership is a great course for those in leadership who want to know what is genuine, true and holy in being a leader, what the Lord requires and what is just good practice. I found Andrew to be an absolute delight, refreshing and engaging. Albert’s wisdom was such a blessing. So many gems of truth I now have in my treasure box!
It’s OK
It’s fine
Awesome Teachings
These lessons are so informative and wonderful pathways in dealing with people and how to react and respond to situations. Albert Hadad gives of his own life experiences and is a great example, as does Andrew. The Leadership learnt here is based on wonderful Godly principals that can not fail. Thank you

Hope never disappointed
I had a car accident 1999, at that moment I decided to follow the path of Jesus by helping others to know how God is good. He wants that all of us to be saved and worshiping together as one family. At the moment of the accident it was like a dream and was in a middle of a prayer group me my sister use to go and I was definite aware of that call. God need me. Over the years people come to me asking advice, help. And I try to do the more I can. And now I want to help them in a professional way, even though I had some courses about counciling but I realize it is something we need to update every moment. Because so many new things come and knock our doors, so much estranged thing touch people. We definitely need educate ourselves to help as much we can.
Delivery
Thank you for the friendly user course that makes me easy to follow and understand what a Pastor’s role is. This training is highly recommended to anyone wishing to lead as a Pastor.
CERTIFICATE OF PASTORAL CARE
Testimonial: God called me in the early hours of the morning in January 2020. I had been oppressed from having God in my life, a Bible in my house and a Church to go to for 50 years. God put me on a path of renewal and spiritual growth which enabled me to stand against my oppressor and claim my spiritual life back. He has shown me that He has a ‘purpose for me…His purpose; which is my destiny’ and has pointed me to preparing myself with study on Pastoral Care and Chaplaincy. This course has given me a sound introduction and I will continue on from this course with the ‘Certificate IV in Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care’. God put me in the midst of people suffering from the disaster; of floods and fires and I know this is the area He wants me to work in. Glory to Him.
