“If I love Jesus, I should live like a candle, burning myself out to give light to others, right? It’s a privilege to serve, so I should always say yes, as long as there’s a need!”
“Self-love is the key to happiness! I can’t love others if I don’t love myself first, right? Serving is fun, but not too much, though.”
Which of these statements do you resonate with? Do you tend to say, “Yes, of course!” or “No, never!” when it comes to ministry? Why?
Join us at the upcoming Gospel Tools Intensive, where we’ll explore how a secure identity in Christ and healthy boundaries can help us love God and others better.
Registration Closed.
identity–the verdict is in!
These burning questions drive us: Who am I in Christ? Am I enough in His eyes? We believe there’s a benchmark we must reach to feel like we’re serving well and living faithfully. But what is that benchmark, and when will we ever feel it’s enough? How do we prevent ourselves from chasing after the wind our entire lives?
boundaries as a way of loving
What are boundaries and how can they reflect the love of Christ? How can we see them not just as a means of self-protection but as a way to loving others? Uncover the heart behind our tendency to either overshare or fear vulnerable, and learn how healthy boundaries can lead to deeper, more Christ-centred relationships.
what is parakaleo?
Parakaleo, derived from the Greek word meaning ‘coming alongside,’ emphasises creating a safe space for women to experience genuine community centred on the gospel.
Parakaleo will help you:
Grow in resilience and strengthen your foundation in the gospel,
Experience renewal through the power of the gospel, and
Find support and connection in ministry
who is this intensive for?
Church planters’ wives
Pastors, elders, and leaders’ wives
Ministry leaders or ministry-minded women
If you’re new to Parakaleo, don’t worry! There are no prerequisites for this Intensive, and all are welcome.
If you’re already part of a Parakaleo small group, we encourage you to join us! This Intensive can serve as a helpful refresher for you. In fact, as we progress through the sessions, it may provide an opportunity for you to delve deeper into your own story or address current issues.
what is this training about?
We refer to this training as an “Intensive.” During this event, you will dedicate a few short but intense hours to learning new visual tools (take a sneak peek to see how they look) that help women in internalising the gospel, Christian doctrines, and navigating ministry challenges.

sneak peeks
calling
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace” 1 Peter 4:10
What is our calling in life? How can we discover God’s calling for us? As women, we often find ourselves wearing different hats. How can we faithfully live out these roles in everyday life?
community
“For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.” 1 Corinthians 12:12
Building community is challenging, often messy and complicated as we journey together in the church. Yet, the church as a covenant community is God’s gift to believers. How can we cultivate community in the “already and not yet” of our journey?
idolatry
“For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.” Jeremiah 2:13
What is an idol? Is it a physical object or a belief? Is idolatry a prevalent issue for most of us in this age? How can we uproot the deep-seated idols within our hearts?
