Can I do it by myself?

You can buy the workbook for yourself and use it for private study, taking as much time as you need and receiving prayer in church or with a prayer partner / triplet or counsellor. It can also be used by home or study groups provided you include prayer ministry. See the Resources page for ordering.

How do we start a local group?

Leading this course requires attendance on our Leadership Training Week, being able to personally fulfil our leadership requirements and involves building and training a local team. We usually suggest that you go through the course once as a team to discover the giftings in the team and to familiarise yourselves with the material and then open it to new participants after that. We like to come and do a team training day on site!

THE NEXT COURSE STARTS IN SEPTEMBER 2011 IN CENTRAL LONDON.

All participants must fill out the Journey of Grace 2011 Application Form, and also attend an informal interview at the Living Waters office.
