ALTAR COUNSELOR CERTIFICATION
Dr. Donna trains Altar Counselors so they will be properly skilled as they minister around the altars. Serving as an Altar Counselor can be an exciting and rewarding spiritual experience:
You have the opportunity to “reap” spiritual fruit for the Kingdom of God. As a minister shares God’s Word, they are actually “sowing” it in the hearts of those who listen. At the conclusion of the service when they provide opportunity for listeners to respond to their challenge, a great spiritual “harvest” is ready to be reaped.
As an altar worker, you serve as a counselor to those who respond to the altar call made by the minister. You are working with the minister to “reap” the spiritual fruit of men, women, boys, and girls who have received and acted upon the Word of God.
TOPICS Covered in the Training:
* Communication Techniques
* Personality Types
* Position, Requirements and Qualities of the Altar Counselor
