A unique journey of discovery about God’s nature and the personalities He has given us.
What to expect
This week we will take a thoughtful and inspiring journey, using the Bible to explore the essence of God’s purpose for us. What does it mean to be “created in God’s image”? What does He intend for me? What gives me real meaning and purpose in life, and what makes me tick? This week we will ask big, old questions in a fresh way and raise awareness of God’s character and what He has intentionally placed within our personalities and hearts. This focus on HIM and His view on us creates deep gratitude and a true appreciation for others. In short, this will have an “IMPACT”!
Paul and Ramona DeCock from Northern Ireland will be our guest speakers and take us along on this journey of discovery! Paul has studied theology, holds a PhD in psychology, and has worked in academia and church planting. Today he works as a teacher and a self-employed coach/consultant. Ramona is a worship leader who works as a primary and music teacher.
Paul is also a co-founder of the Keys Foundation, where, as head of the research and development department, he has developed a psychometric personality profile test based on biblical principles. Using our own Keys profiles (which we will get to fill out at the beginning of the week), we will make many “key” discoveries during these days!
The program will be a mix of teaching sessions in a small classroom setting and experiential learning during fun and adventurous outdoor activities in the beautiful mountains of the Engadin valley such as hiking, climbing, kayaking and more.
The number of participants will be limited to 12 people and the week is run in English mainly.
Important: This week will be held in Englisch, so understanding Englisch decently will be essential. Most likely there will also be a bigger group of German speaking participants though.
