In partnership with Gospel City Network, Parakaleo Asia Pacific supports ministry-minded women through workshops, training intensives, local cohorts, virtual cohorts, and alongside coaching. We use practical, visual tools to make gospel theology easily accessible in moments of crisis and ministry challenges. These experiences equip women to speak the Gospel to their own hearts, and to come alongside other women in ministry.

Parakaleo Trainings
Small Groups
-
Christian ministry is often difficult and lonely work because of the boundary ambiguity within leadership. We assume that everyone is struggling with something and someone. Small groups are a safe, confidential space to process and practise gospel truths for your own heart alongside women who are outside of your shepherding circle.
-
Small groups are intentionally small — up to 6 participants plus 1 or 2 leaders. Each season of small groups consist of nine online sessions over 9-10 months. We understand that you are juggling a busy family and ministry schedule, so we meet only once a month for 2 hours.
-
If you’re longing for gospel rest and refreshment outside of your work in church & ministry and would like to connect with other women over gospel conversations, we invite you to join a small group.
BASIC Intensive
-
Church leadership and ministry can be tough! So how do we women build gospel resilience as shepherds? All Parakaleo training builds off BASIC as a foundational course that helps us take the truth of the gospel to our own hearts. We use practical, visual tools to make gospel theology easily accessible in moments of crisis and ministry challenges.
-
BASIC Intensive retreats are usually in-person. In light of the covid pandemic, an online course is also held once or twice a year by Parakaleo Asia-Pacific, depending on response. Please contact us for more information.
Alongside Intensive

This training course is for women who lead peer-mentoring conversations and desire to point people to Jesus. Alongside Conversations will equip you with skills and tools for one-on-one gospel coaching to enhance your gospel fluency and gospel agility for conversations.
