Are you having doubts about finding competent leaders? It might be easier than you think.
DC4K leaders need to be people who love the Lord and have a passion to bring restoration and healing to children who have been hurt by a divorce.
Here are places to begin your search:
- Adult children of divorce who are emotionally and spiritually healthy
- Adults who have experienced divorce and have successfully completed an adult DivorceCare class
- Single parents who have recovered from their own divorce
- Senior adults who have children experiencing a divorce
- Grandparents who want to help other people’s grandchildren find comfort
- Schoolteachers and child care staff
- People who have a passion and God-given talents to assist children and help them grow in the Lord
DC4K leaders don’t need to be experts or have extensive experience with children, but they do need to love the Lord and want to serve Him. Pray and look to your church for your lay leadership.
Training leaders
The DC4K kit includes complete training materials that will give your leaders the tools needed to facilitate a DC4K group. Training resources include the Leader Equipping training video on DVD, background information on children and divorce, tips on how to work with vulnerable and hurting children and detailed steps to implement a successful, ongoing DC4K ministry.
A Leadership Forum is also available via email for all group leaders. This interactive forum facilitates the exchange of ideas, prayer requests, questions and other pertinent information related to a children’s divorce ministry. Leaders from around the world participate in the Leadership Forum.
Online resources are provided through our DC4K LeaderZone. The LeaderZone is filled with articles, logos for advertising, regional training updates, FAQs, a bookstore and downloadable worksheets and forms.
Regional, all-day training seminars are held each year. Check to see if a national training is located near you.
FREE consulting is only a telephone call away. Call the DivorceCare for Kids office with any questions at 1-800-489-7778.
