Greece Assembly of God: Crisis Seminar

Billy Graham Rapid Response - Sharing Hope in Crisis

When tragedy strikes, how can you share the love of Christ?
What should you do? What should you say? What should you not say?

Do you know someone who has or is currently going through a crisis situation? Do you feel equipped in how to care for that person or what to say to them? Sometimes pat answers or ill-timed scripture references can bring more pain than comfort, especially to those of different faith backgrounds. This training will teach you how to respond effectively and appropriately with God's hope to people in crisis and who are experiencing trauma, grief and loss.

Training will be presented by Billy Graham Rapid Response Team. They have trained many chaplains to go into major disasters to bring hope. Those who have taken this training may also apply to become a Rapid Response Team chaplain.
