Objectives
As a missionary, pastor, or other Christian leader, you are called to counsel a great variety of people. Yet seminary cannot adequately equip you to deal with the many problems you encounter in ministry. To meet this need, the Narramore Christian Foundation has developed an intensive counseling seminar. More than 2,000 people have taken this training in the U.S. Now this helpful Christian counseling seminar is being offered in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
The seminar will increase your counseling and member care skills. Your instructors will emphasize a strong integration of biblical and theological truth with practical psychological insights and counseling techniques.
