A seven-week program designed to EQUIP people to be salt-and-light, that “bring out the God-flavours and help people see the goodness of God” (John Maxwell). Believers become true agents of change, equipped to build relationships, add value and create hunger in our world to know more of our faith. 

Beyond Success is a tool and a process that helps mobilise people to reach their community. The program runs by means of seven roundtables, covering the following values: 

• Attitude 
• Personal Growth 
• Priorities 
• Relationships 
• My Most Important Relationship 
• From Good Intentions to Good Actions 
• From Success to Significance 

As you participate in Beyond Success each week we will discuss, share key insights and apply values-based leadership principles that make a significant difference, leading to personal growth and transformation in your personal, family and work life. 

Each roundtable is structured as follows (estimated times, based on a table of 8 people): 

• Introductions / Sharing from Previous Week (10 min) 
• Maxwell teaching video, group reading and underlining from notes (15 min) 
• Discussion (12 min) 
• Self-assessment related to value (10 min) 
• Conversation about assessment and intentional action step (10 min)  

At the end of the 7 weeks, participants can complete an optional one-hour facilitator training course, which allows them to sign on as a Beyond Equip facilitator and run round-table sessions themselves.

The Defined by Jesus course addresses how our upbringing has impacted the development of our mind, our perception of our calling, and what Jesus says about it through His word. Sometimes, this is worlds apart from how we grew up or the environment we find ourselves in. This study aims to give us practical tools to unravel what’s going on and continue the journey we all find ourselves on as Christians … to be like Jesus.  

 Topics Included:  

• Foundations of our lives – Identify how neural pathways are created, how they form patterns and how attachments are formed
• The game-changer – we then investigate a process called neuroplasticity so we can change the patterns! 
• We are new creations – we can get laser beam specific about who we are in Christ, we have a new identity, and God has called us to spheres of influence across our planet

Jesus promised that we would be able to hear his voice and follow (John 10:27). The Holy Spirit was given to the church so that everyone – sons and daughters, young and old – could all hear from God in the same way as the Old Testament prophets (Acts 2:17, Num 12:6). The Spirit speaks today to continue the mission and ministry of Jesus. When we hear the Spirit for ourselves, we will experience the life-changing and miraculous work of God in and through our lives!  

Prophecy is a gift of the Spirit that enables us to minister to others with (1 Cor 14:3). When we prophesy, we express God’s heart for others to build them up. 

 Led by Rev Dr Tania Harris of God Conversations*, this 3-week course will equip you to recognise and respond to God’s voice and empower you to operate the gift of prophecy. 

In this course, you will learn: 

• God’s nature as a communicator
• What God’s voice sounds like
• How to recognise God’s voice among others
• How to position yourself to hear from God more clearly and regularly
• How to hear God’s voice for others…how to prophecy

On a practical level, you will be given an opportunity to participate in exercises and workshops to apply what you’re learning.
