Nicholas NcubeNicholas and his wife Nosimilo Ncube attended the Foundations for Family conference. We’ve been placing much emphasis on Family values at Crossroads; these being Everyone in Family, Committed Couples, Valued Children, Sexual Purity and Christ Centeredness. The conference was held in Harare where 20 couples from 10 Newfrontiers rural churches attended. The training was on Pastoral Counselling.
Nicholas and Nosimilo enjoyed the training as they were encouraged to help people solve their problems and not to judge. They learnt about empathy and exploring the problem so that the individual can solve it on their own. They also learnt about Child grief and telling the child the truth especially when a death has occurred. There was a session about discrimination amongst children: those with parents and those without i.e. orphans. This is a reality faced in many rural homes.
The conference on the whole was great and we look forward to the next one on 13th September.
