coaching

Our coaching relationships center around the principle that God is the guide in all coaching.

The role of a coach is not to tell you what to do or to fix your problems, but to create a safe space for you to hear God’s voice so He can move and work in your heart. As your coach, we will provide support, accountability, perspective, challenge, and resources for the agenda you bring and the goals you set.

The coaches on our team look forward to hearing from you and are happy to start a conversation about this life changing step. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

Whether you would want more structured coaching using one of the books below, help with developing a ministry plan or support with leadership, transition or issues related to raising a family in a cross-cultural setting, our coaches are prepared. Each one brings unique life experiences, different perspectives and focus in their coaching. We understand some of the challenges missionary families face, and we would love to walk with you.

​Coaching sessions can occur in person over a cup of coffee or over the phone or internet (i.e. Skype, Zoom, etc). Because of secure online technology, coaching can happen right in your living room, even in sensitive nations.

Are you searching for the
​reason God created you?
Overview
We will journey together through the process of discovering your:

Design – Who are you? (your personality, strengths, and gifts).
Passion – Why do you desire this? What gives you energy? (your dreams, values, and vision).
Preparation – What has your life prepared you for? (your life experiences and destiny events).
Calling – Where is the Master sending you? (revelation, life message, audience, role).

Through this process you will look at how all of these come together to reveal your life purpose, the reason that God has put you on the earth!
Work Book
Life purpose coaching is a process of walking through exercises that highlight who you are and what God may have for your future using the workbook below.

Are you wondering if there is a
​reason for your story?
Overview
The focus as you go through the Calling Journey is not just on life stages, but on what God is doing in each stage of your life to prepare you for your call. You’ll learn what God’s growth agenda is for each stage, common pitfalls and temptations, and how to lean into what God is doing in you even when it seems counter-intuitive.
Timeline Model
The timeline model explains four main developmental stages and three transitional “valleys”:
  • Natural Promotion
  • The Valley of Dependence
  • The Preparation Stage
  • The Valley of Wholeness
  • The Releasing Stage
  • The Valley of Identity
  • The Fulfillment Stage
As you digest each of these themes you’ll discover how God makes every circumstance in your life “work together for good” to bring you to your destiny. In the process, the author shows how to identify the “Life Messages” that form the heart of your call, offers an innovative paradigm for understanding this call in “being” terms, and adds a section on coaching others on their journeys.
Book
The Calling Journey  by Tony Stoltzfus is a tool used to walk through the various stages of your life, and to look at your calling journey.

Do you desire to live a
​full and healthy life?
Overview
It is important to make wellness a priority in all three areas of body, soul, and spirit. We would love to come along side you and help you see how your daily habits and schedule impact your total wellness. If you would like to experience improvement in your level of wellness, we will discuss what goals you want to set to bring about those desired changes.

Body, Soul & Spirit
We are all comprised of body, soul, and spirit.
We need to care for our bodies by getting regular exercise, eating nutritious foods, and making sure to rest enough.
Our souls require care in the form of connection with God, ourselves, and others. We were created for intimacy; therefore some of our basic soul requirements are acceptance, encouragement, appreciation, and comfort. Our personal lives, daily habits, community, church, and family are all part of our soul wellness.
God has also created us for relationship with Him. Our spiritual wellness is impacted by the intimacy of our relationship with God.
Book
We will use tools to determine your total wellness satisfaction. One of those tools is the book below. Fit to Serve, by Coach Powers, walks you through establishing a healthy lifestyle of fitness so you are able to have the energy and focus to accomplish what God is calling you to do.

Do you want to live a ​more balanced life?
Overview
Balance is important to our overall health and satisfaction with life.
It is vital to have balance in the various areas of our lives, not feeling as if we are being pulled in too many directions. In order to live  balanced lives, our views of and habits surrounding success, enjoyment, and rest must allow us to live full lives, making decisions that protect that which brings us fulfillment.
What Balance Is and Isn't
Many people, when thinking of balance, have an image in their heads similar to the first 2 pictures below:
Picture
A scale: Sometimes we think that to achieve balance we must get rid of something in order to add something to the other side. At times work becomes heavy, upsetting the balance with family and our social lives. How do we achieve a healthy balance on a regular basis?
Picture
Walking a tightrope: We focus so much on making sure we are taking the right steps toward balance, that all of our focus is on the next step. We may lose sight of what is going on around us in the lives of our friends and family because we think that if we make one wrong decision, we will fall.
However…

We will walk with you through what a balanced life could look like for you. Together we will seek God for what ultimately energizes you and brings you fulfillment each day.

Do you need help putting together a professional ministry plan?​
Overview
Are you pioneering a new ministry, or is your ministry growing and you need to put together a ministry plan to help pull everything and everyone together?
We understand missionaries and ministries. We understand the unique challenges of living in a foreign culture, and we understand and embrace the concept that each ministry has a unique calling and timing from God. We are here to help you solidify and put on paper what God has uniquely called you and your ministry to do.

  1. Vision and Mission
  2. Values
  3. Objectives
  4. Strategies and Programs
  5. Phases
  6. Financials and Performas
Whether your ministry plan includes some or all of the above, it will be professionally and uniquely put together to be used as an effective tool for growth.

Are you walking into or coming
​out of a transition in life?
Overview
Transition may be one of the most overlooked areas of an individual’s health and well-being. These seasons of life however, when navigated correctly with God as Guide, can be some of the most fulfilling and important seasons of life.
We want to walk with you through this season, helping you navigate the various celebrations and joys that come with transition as well as  some of the sorrows, griefs, and stresses that accompany it. As we coach you through transition, we will help you to involve God in the entire process and to see Him in areas where you may have overlooked His presence and His moving in this season.
