SUMMARY:Webinar: Chinese Spring Launch Training 中文春季啟動培訓  2  Alpha Weekend & Prayer Ministry 啟發周末營&禱告服侍
DESCRIPTION:啟發營會，是最多人遇見“活著的耶穌”的時刻。而禱告服侍，正是這一刻發生的核心。 \n在許多華人事工處境中，啟發營會與禱告服侍是最常被跳過、被省略的一環。但事實上，它卻是整個啟發課程中，最能體現啟發精神、最常結出果子的關鍵環節。許多啟發來賓，正是在啟發營會中——不是透過更多信息、更多知識——而是在放鬆的營會氛圍中，在禱告服侍中被聖靈觸摸，真實遇見那位又真又活的耶穌，並作出回應。這正是整個啟發課程的靈魂所在。 \n在「中文春季啟動培訓 II – 啟發營會與禱告服侍」中，你將：\n– 看見啟發營會在整個啟發旅程中的關鍵角色，並掌握如何開辦它。\n– 掌握禱告服侍中的核心原則，界限，與最佳實踐。\n– 聆聽神在華人教會啟發營會中轉化生命的真實見證。\n– 一起在現場的禱告時間裡操練禱告、彼此服侍，一同經歷神。 \n這場培訓適合：\n教會領袖，啟發同工，想更多了解啟發的人，以及一切有心傳福音或對禱告有負擔的人。 \n線上培訓日期：\n2月21號，星期六 \n兩個語言場次（每場 90 分鐘）：\n國語場 太平洋時間 10:00 am / 山區時間 11:00 am / 東岸時間 1:00 pm\n粵語場 太平洋時間 12:00 pm / 山區時間下午 1:00 pm / 東岸時間 3:00 pm \n邀請你和團隊一起來裝備！點擊下面鏈接免費報名：\n國語場:\n點擊這裡註冊\n粵語場: \n點擊這裡註冊 \n– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –  \nThe Alpha Weekend is where the greatest number of people encounter the living Jesus\, and prayer ministry is at the heart of that encounter. \nIn many Chinese ministry contexts\, the Alpha Weekend and prayer ministry are often the most likely parts of Alpha to be overlooked or skipped. Yet in reality\, they are the very heart of the Alpha course — the moment that most clearly expresses the spirit of Alpha and most often bears fruit. \nMany Alpha guests decide to follow Jesus during the Alpha Weekend — not through more information or knowledge\, but in the relaxed atmosphere of the weekend\, as they are prayed for\, encounter the Holy Spirit\, and meet Jesus as living and present. This lies at the heart of the Alpha journey. \nAt Chinese Spring Launch Training II – Alpha Weekend & Prayer Ministry\, you will:\n– Understand the key role the Alpha Weekend plays in the overall Alpha journey\, and how to run it well.\n– Learn the core principles\, boundaries\, and best practices of prayer ministry.\n– Hear real stories of lives transformed through Alpha Weekends in Chinese churches.\n– Step into a guided time of prayer practice\, serving one another and experiencing God together. \nThis training is for:\nchurch leaders\, Alpha team members\, people exploring Alpha\, and anyone with a heart for evangelism or prayer. \nWebinar Date:\nFebruary 21st\, Saturday \nTwo language tracks (90 minutes each):\nMandarin\n10:00 am PT / 11:00 am MT / 1:00 pm ET\nCantonese\n12:00 pm PT / 1:00 pm MT / 3:00 pm ET \nBring your team and join us!
