Equip Your People to Share Jesus Christ at the Festival and Beyond

Yakima Valley CityFest will provide a free Counselor Training Kit for your church. This kit includes everything necessary for training a group (large or small) to counsel individuals who respond to the Good News of Jesus Christ at the festival and encourage them in relational evangelism.

  1. Set a faith-sized goal for the number of counselors your church will train.
  2. Determine a plan to implement trainings that will maximize church member participation.
  3. Train festival counselors by using the Counselor Training Kit in:

    • Small groups
    • Sunday school classes
    • Midweek and Saturday services
    • Youth events
    • Adult education classes
    • Ministry groups for singles, men, and women

     4. Post a schedule of available training opportunities on your   website and in your Sunday bulletin.

      5. Make sure every person is registered as having attended a training.

Once you are ready to train, request your FREE training materials.

These kits will be available after May, 2010. Attendance at one training session or online is REQUIRED in order to counsel at the festival. The deadline to register your group is July, 2010. Registration is required to counsel!

Online training is available for those who are unable to attend a live training event. Visit www.festivalfriend.com to watch the videos and register.
