TRAINING PACK
Welcome to the Brephos Pro-Life Teams Training Pack!
​
The idea here is to inform, equip, and activate small groups of locally gathered Christians across the nation, to see the people of God mobilised in Christlike prayer, word, and action on behalf of the babies and their parents.
​
All you need to get going on this is 2 or 3 people committed to meeting regularly - say monthly - to pray together and to work through these 5 sessions.
​
Our hope is that they are comprehensive without being overwhelming.
​
We don't want to be prescriptive about how long this should take - you may want to discuss at length between sessions, or pursue the resources and projects suggested in connection with each one.
Once you have completed the sessions, you will have been introduced to all the most important facets of pro-life ministry and you will be in a position to respond in an active, ongoing, God-glorifying way. We encourage you to prayerfully seek out at least one area that you can give yourself to wholeheartedly.
​
If you have any questions or need any help, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
