Ministry Coaches

The concept of coaching is pretty familiar to most of us. We see coaches in a variety of areas - the cricket coach, the maths coach or even a business coach. Coaches help in many ways: they encourage, teach, train, model and advise. It is our hope that everyone in Challenge has a ‘ministry’ coach! We want you to have a coach who will pray for you, encourage you, teach, train and guide you to best use your gifts to proclaim Jesus to the world. If you have been to a Challenge conference and currently don’t have a coach, please let us know, so we can help you find someone who can coach you in ministry.

Great Expectations

What do we expect of Challenge coaches? We hope Challenge coaches will:

- take a personal interest in your growth as a Christian and work through important life decisions with you
- work to equip you to be more able to minister the Word of God while being an example of how to train others
- challenge you to live for Jesus and help you to assess how best to serve Him
