Level Plus Leadership Training in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany

When the first women had completed all three levels of leadership training they came with the question: “And now what? Will there be more occasions to come together and learn?” In response to this desire the leaders of the D-A-CH-countries developed a seminar called LevelPlus for women who have completed the tree levels and want to experience once more the blessed atmosphere of these seminars. 30 women gathered in Haus Schönblick, venue of the WM congress in 2014, to learn more about outreach and speaking in public. Christian Fischer was invited to teach rhetorics and the other topics were covered in the usual manner by the D-A-CH-leaders. Time for reflexion about the practical implications of the training and the experiences of the women was provided. It was a blessed weekend of motivation and encouragement. Reflecting on what impact the training has made in their lives the women spoke about how their lives and ministry have changed during this time. Some have started new initiatives, others have been elected as leaders in their local WM groups and churches. All women considered the training sessions as oases of spiritual growth and inspiration although the programs have often been demanding.
