2012 Canadian Training Conference | July 8 to 14 Registration is open for the Canadian Training Conference. It is taking place at the Entheos Retreat & Conference Centre, in Calgary, AB. For more details, or to receive an information packet and application form please contact the Calgary Office of Living Waters.
Building People At the core, Living Waters is about people, seeing God’s children live holy and authentic lives. Our prayer and discipleship programs provide safe places for men and women to be honest about their relational and sexual struggles, and to be renewed through God’s healing work. Equipping Leaders Every year, Living Waters Canada hosts a training conference to equip men and women who want to become leaders in local Living Waters groups, or who want to establish a Living Waters program in their church community. As well, the conference is open to those in pastoral ministry, professional counselling and lay leadership. Through an intensive week, participants will walk through a condensed version of the Living Waters program—which includes times of worship, teaching and small group ministry. With this experience, men and women will grapple with their own personal brokenness, allowing them to deepen their relationship with Jesus and enabling them to empathize with others who struggle with relational and sexual problems. Senior leaders within the ministry lead all the sessions and small groups, which gives participants a firsthand experience with the essentials of a Living Waters program. Learning Essentials The training conference also teaches the key aspects of running a Living Waters program. Workshops include sessions on:

Training Conferences
The programs of Living Waters are facilitated by qualified and trained men and women, who have gone through the course themselves and who have experienced healing in their lives. Because of that, these lay leaders can relate to and pray for people who enroll in Living Waters.
