I was honored to do training with all of the staff at Challenge Farm. We had seven groups of ten in each group and we prayed, and learned about one another and the importance of deepening our relationship with Jesus, and taking care of ourselves. By learning how to diffuse triggers, increase the joy of the LORD and avoid vicarious trauma and stress; we can all become better workers and disciples of Jesus. This past staff meeting seventy certificates of completion were received by the staff.
