Ongoing opportunity
The Multivocational Toolkit - an online asynchronous learning opportunity offered by the New Leaf Network
This 6-session online learning opportunity will be engaging with the research findings of the Canadian Multivocational Ministry Project in practical ways. The goal will be to equip people to thrive in their context and calling to minister multivocationally.
Who is this course for?
This online workshop is designed for those who are currently in multivocational ministry, to reflect on ways they can thrive in their current context. In addition, students expecting to be working in a multivocational reality are welcome to reflect on how they balance their studies with the ministry they find themselves in already. Catalysts and support staff for Multivocational ministers are also invited to engage to attune themselves to the realities facing those they mentor and support.
