Sharing Hope in Crisis

This training is designed to equip you on what to say—and what not to say—to someone who is grieving. Come join in to be further equipped to know how to engage in conversation and share the hope of Jesus Christ with those who suffer from everyday tragedies of life. We offer this course in two different ways.

Both courses meet the suggested requirements for BG-RRT chaplaincy.

Testimonies

  • “May I just say personally and from responses and comments: Thank you for bringing not only a meaningful teaching, but even more so the inspiration to serve and love our neighbor. The topics on the agenda were covered well, but of additional significance was the opening of eyes to SEE and the desire in hearts to RESPOND which will have untold application. Thanks for ‘sharing hope’!”
    –SHIC Participant from Franklin, TN

  • “I felt the compassion and grace that we learned could be put to good use in most any ministry. The SHIC course had numerous tips to gracefully help those
    that were hurting—and we have hurting people all around us.”
    –SHIC Participant from Melbourne, FL

  • “I felt the conference was very beneficial. The material was useful not only for occasional crisis situations, which attract the attention of the national or even international community, but also for crisis situations which people are experiencing daily.”
