Dear OnTrack Prayer Partners In May, Core course "Value Based Leadership" of our "Missional Leadership Certificate Program" has been held at Burnaby Pacific Grace Church. 40+ participants from Metro Vancouver learnt about personal and church core values through Rev. Chiu's teachings and question answering. Group discussion has allowed them to apply and deepen what they have learnt, explored their own core values, philosophy of ministry and the core values of their local churches. The course has also gave outliines of how to find the core values of a church. Participants have increased their knowledge on core values. We hope that they can apply what they learn and, discover their personal and church core values thus the reasons behind. In this way, each local church will be strengthened, united in developing ministry and grow spiritually together.

June 10-12's "Building an Empowering Team" will be the last OnTrack course before the Summer Break. There are about 40 participants, most of them from different Pacific Grace Churches, including 3-4 teams. The course will focus on the 3 roles in "Peer Serving" - Spiritual friends, teammates and comrades-in-arms. It also provides principles and practical ways to establish strong teams in church so participants not only can build the church up together, but also make that environment an opportunities to grow healthily spiritually for themselves and teammates.
