Break Out Workshops Topics

Prophecy 101 Workshop – with Mae Clowe

If you would like to learn more about hearing God’s voice for yourself and others, join me in the workshop and activation on Basic Prophecy 101. The gift of Prophecy is available to all believers and is a way that you can minister to people both inside & outside the church.  We will be learning some basic steps on how to lean in to Holy Spirit and release God’s heart for people around you.  You will have the opportunity to practice this in a safe environment and take a risk without fear of failure.

Prophetic Art Workshop – with Jeannette Howat

There are many ways to express prophecy – through the spoken word, prose, poetry, music, painting, etc. God is creative and has made us creative too. This workshop focuses on using simple art to give a prophetic picture to someone.  No artistic skills are necessary. You can use this inspiring tool to show others that God knows and cares about them whether inside or outside of the church. Come and hear about how accurate prophetic art can be, get your creative juices flowing and be inspired at how you can partner with God to bring the awareness of His love to others. By the end of the workshop you should leave with a prophetic picture to take home with you.

Dream Interpretation Workshop – Donna Petch

Do the events in your dreams seem like God might be trying to communicate with you? There are many examples in scripture where God spoke in dreams. So how are we to discern the voice of God in our dreams and interpret what He is saying. In this workshop we will explore some simple tools to help interpret what God could be saying to you in your dream life. Hands on application with Donna Petch a frequen,t strategic, prophetic dreamer and the Senior Associate Leader of New Life Church.

Making Prophesy Relevant Anywhere – with Valerie Dyck

Keeping prophecy relevant is a key component in delivering what we hear from God to the listening audience.  In this workshop you will learn how to translate what we are hearing from God into a language that anyone can understand. Taking “Christianese” out of prophecy is paramount as we seek to bring the heart of the Father to those around us. Join prophet Valerie Dyck as she discusses and demonstrates language, context and keeping prophecy real.
