It targets two groups. Firstly, believers desiring biblically–based personal development study materials and secondly, men and women that are incarcerated to use as an evangelism and personal development tool.

Joshua teaches how to be successful in your personal life and leadership roles. It presents biblical and practical steps for successfully fulfilling your purpose. The six steps presented are: Respond, Remove, Relocate, Request, Require, and Respect.

Nehemiah wore three hats: he was a cupbearer, a builder, and a governor. In our seminar, we will view the enquiring & rebuilding principles from his roles as cupbearer and builder. 

The Fine Art of Enquiring: Enquiring of Others • Enquiring of God • Enquiring of Superiors. The Fine Art of Rebuilding: Preparation • Process • Problems. These timeless principles are timely in dealing with challenges with rebuilding and restoring that today’s leaders face. This seminar provides several projects for you to undertake in order to enhance your learning of these God-given principles, including an Effective Leadership Personal Audit, which serves as an assessment tool and a goal-setting device.

The constant pressure, the harrowing realities of human suffering, and the extraordinary acts of selflessness I witnessed sparked a profound reflection: aren’t these the same qualities we see reflected in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ?

This seminar is the culmination of that reflection, a distillation of years spent bridging the seemingly disparate worlds of faith and community service. It’s not a mere theological treatise, but a practical guide, intertwining biblical narratives with real-life examples, providing a framework for applying faith to everyday acts of courage, compassion, and teamwork. I pray that this seminar will not only encourage but also equip you to serve with renewed purpose and unwavering conviction.
