“REWRITING YOUR LEADERSHIP STORY”
Uniform Ministries Leadership Training Weekend
DEPARTMENT NEWS
Janeth Vasquez, the Alberta Conference uniform ministries coordinator, planned and organized a wonderful training weekend with the uniform ministries executive team at Foothills Camp, October 28-30, 2022.
The theme of the weekend was entitled, “Rewriting Your Leadership Story.” We were blessed to have three dynamic guest speakers for the weekend, Pastor Fidel Soto from Florida, Pastor Rudy Alvir from Nevada/Utah Conference and Nwamiko Madden from Lacombe.
Pastor Soto, who focused on communication, deep listening and emotional health, helped listeners understand how we are impacted by our past hurt and trauma.
Pastor Rudy captivated the audience with his message and preaching style.
And Nwamiko, whose practical and creative illustrations and personal stories, made the entire weekend interesting and entertaining.
Also present were seminar presenters, Dr. Sania Dookie, Uzzie and Divina Buhia, Chris Ohlmann and others. We had an amazing attendance of over 100 participants who commented about the powerful presentations and well organized program. We had some delicious food prepared by Heather Harrington and her team at Foothills Camp. As the weekend ended, the group paused to pray for several families and to thank God for such an impactful and informative weekend.
The last thing on the agenda was first aid and CPR training lead by Violet Lewis, that 13 people completed on Sunday.
Thank you to everyone who helped with this event. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
