Certificates
Basic Certificate
The Basic Certificate is an overview of how to care for people, particularly women in hard places. These are out-sourced programs that teach listening skills, crisis care, the effect of trauma on the whole person, and the Holy Spirit’s role in healing. The Basic Certificate is an excellent course for any pastor’s wife, women’s mentor, missionary, or caregiver.
