NGL: HEART OF SOUL CARE
The Need
Youths and students face issues of various kinds, yet we as leaders often find ourselves ill-equipped in handling them. Do you feel overwhelmed, or out-of-depth? As leaders, how are we called to respond to the struggles that they face? Is there a biblical way in which to approach issues that plague the soul? Come and learn what the church’s vision and goal of soul care should be, and how God has revealed to us through His Word how we can walk with youths and students in difficult times.
In light of these needs and questions, we invite you to attend the second of our two NGL events this year, ‘NGL: Heart of Soul Care: Walking with youth and students in difficult times'.
​
Who is it for?
We invite all those who are currently involved, or looking to be involved in English speaking youth or student ministries in Chinese churches.
What does the day look like?
In our day together, we will examine the WHAT, WHO, WHY and HOW of soul care. How we approach issues of the soul is important, and thankfully, God has not left us to figure it all out on our own.
Session 1: We'll examine what soul care is, what the church’s role and responsibility is, and why it’s important.
Session 2: We'll apply what we learned and focus in on one topic in particular - depression.
Besides training, we will also have time to worship, pray, network and fellowship with one another. ​Our prayer is that we would be encouraged, equipped, and filled with hope as we look to God for wisdom and guidance in walking with youths and students. ​​
Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it.

Hope to see you there!
We appreciate our church contexts are different and that we struggle with different challenges and needs. However, we are also comforted by the fact that we are all united in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his Great Commission, and can rely on Him as our common source of strength and wisdom for our respective youth or student ministries. We do hope you can join us in sharing, learning and ultimately worshipping God together!​​
