The Polish Union sponsored their first Adventist Recovery Ministries (ARMin) facilitators training held in Wisla, Poland, from October 17-19 to equip church leaders and members in helping people struggling with emotional trauma and behavioral addictions. Similarly, the Czech-Slovakian Union also held an ARMin facilitator training from October 24-26. The ARMin training focuses on having a 12-step Christ-centered support meeting. Pastors, health professionals, and lay enthusiasts in health ministry complete the course. Attendees felt this program comes at a critical time to help young adults struggling. Additionally, the South Poland Conference in Poland sponsored the Lifestyle Coaching Skills workshop for pastors from October 20-23. Pastors came eager to learn about coaching, with an emphasis on Healthy Lifestyles, and found the training helpful for their ministry and for their own health and well-being. The training was a collaboration between the Personal Ministries and the Health Ministries department of the Conference to prepare
pastors for a more effective discipleship through health outreach.
