EMCC GC2 Coaching Moves Beyond Canadian Borders (12/17/2008)

“It really works to take a coaching approach. We got to things that the person being coached could not have embraced if we had simply told him”. This was the comment of a consummate ‘teller’ coming to understand the power of asking good coaching questions.

Phil Delsaut and Joel Zantingh presented part I of the GC2 Coaching Networking Seminar to a group of World Partners personnel and Missionary Church Inc pastors August 21 and 22. Enrolment was over a dozen and included Gerald Steele and Richard and Marge Green who are leading the Keystone Project. It was hosted by the Colonial Woods Missionary Church of Port Huron, Michigan.

The seminar was well received and was EMCC's gift to our sister Missionary Church in the United States. Approximately 15 EMCC leaders and World Partners missionaries have taken the two week Keystone Disciplemaker training in South Dakota as guests of World Partners US and the Keystone Project.

The challenge that disciples should be equipped to make other disciples has stirred the hearts of EMCC national leadership and it has become a major ministry theme for both our Canadian churches and our World Partners missionaries.

GC2 was also offered on one of our sensitive fields very recently. We've been realizing increasingly that coaching and networking combine with discipleship training as we endeavor to enable many disciples to move to the disciplemaker phase of their personal life calling. At the March 2008 Keystone Project which was attended by several EMCC World Partners missionaries, Sandra Tjart coached our trainees in the evenings following the day long classes by Richard Greene. And Keystone has been increasing the coaching component of its training modules, which is why the August GC2 in Port Huron was scheduled.
