Benefits of the seminar & how it benefits to being a master guide
Seminar 1
Understanding Multiple Intelligences
The seminar is essential as it introduces the concepts of multiple intelligences to the youth ministry leaders. The primary benefit is understanding that children have different intellectual abilities since some are smart in performances while others in ideas (JonLog, 2015). On the same note, one student may have the ability to write while others may be perfect in the artistic work. The instructor teaches that children may have different intelligence such as naturalist intelligence- the ability identify the natural things, visual- intelligence-the ability to understand graphical information, interpersonal intelligence-the ability to understand other's desires and moods. These and another type of intelligence help the ministry leaders to assess and support them while leading the youth ministry (JonLog, 2015). Leaders have learned that multiple intelligence can be used as an approach to learning and to meet the needs of every child.
As a master guide, the seminar has provided remarkable benefits in that while training the club leaders; I have the freedom to introduce the dominant learning intelligence which teachers can use to help young people become more productive and willing to learn. Rather than relying on the visually-based methods, I can now use these new techniques that leaders can use to help young people successes in their life (JonLog, 2015). The seminar is designed for training the trainers and having gained the Pathfinder-related skills; I will present the skills and knowledge to the club leadership to ensure that children get the needed actual development. In this case, I will teach what I have learned and encourage the club leaders to focus on diverse learning to support each child's strength.
Seminar 2
Discipling & Discipline: An act of discipling
This seminar focuses on pathfinder discipline, and it benefits the youth ministry leaders since they understand the way of administering and the importance of discipline. To help the young children know God and live a productive life, leaders should provide them with wisdom and discipline (Linkedln Corporation, 2018). Thus, leaders must nurture the children by giving them instructions the same way Jesus instructed his disciples. The not use theory to explain the importance of discipline but it uses the bible verses to show that disciple is mandated by God and it is the responsibility of the leaders to discipline the children and teach them the law of God for them to live healthy lives (Linkedln Corporation, 2018). Youth ministry leaders have also learned that the goal of disciplining should be helping the children become sons and daughters of God, become useful members and respect their parents.
The seminar has also benefited me as a master guide since while training the club leaders, I will encourage them to discipline the young people since it is an expression of love according to Proverb 13: 24. I will also demonstrate the skills and knowledge in the pathfinder club such as developing rules and regulations and ensuring that the young people conforms to the values and conduct (Linkedln Corporation, 2018). To foster discipline, as a master guide I will work together with the leaders and children to develop a sense of unity and achieve the success of the Pathfinder club. Having gained the skills in Discipline and Discipline, I will act as a role model and inspire others leaders.
Seminar 3
Survey of disciplinary theory and technique
Leaders are introduced into disciplinary theory and technique of the crime and criminal justice. The leaders receive a wealth of knowledge where they learn that research provides a credible knowledge of crime and justice (Kraska & Neuman, 2012). Research not only generates expertise but it also improves the critical thinking. The seminar teaches that in conducting research, researchers should not be driven by the intellectual curiosity but they should focus on pragmatic research projects which have to do with making rational decisions and solving problems. In other words, researchers should focus on basic research-conducting research to become knowledgeable and to understand the natural environment. The basic knowledge also referred to as ‘pure knowledge' can help researchers understand crime and the social structure and generate new ideas for solving real-world problems (Kraska & Neuman, 2012). In conducting research, researchers should also focus on applied research- conducting evidence-based practice and making real-world decisions such as developing new programs or adopting a new policy. This seminar has benefited leaders since they will make a difference in the real world to help the communities.
As a master guide, I have benefited from this study in that I have learned the nature of research and the purpose of research such as exploring the issue and evaluating the best the policy. In the real world, it is important for leaders to research to make a difference (Kraska & Neuman, 2012). Also, it is essential to address problems that we encounter as leaders by applying research-based knowledge.
Seminar 4
Principles of Youth and Children's Evangelism
This seminar is associated with benefits since leaders have learned that youth and children should be engaged in the evangelism or in other words they should they participate in spreading the gospel to the world (Linkedln Corporation, 2018). Leaders may think that children are incapable of spreading the gospel, but the truth is that children are dedicated followers of Jesus, and they should make Jesus known everywhere. thus, youth ministry leaders have learned that the AY clubs are not only training centers but leaders should focus on creating evangelistic programs and guide and influence the young people in preaching Christ
Being a master guide, I have learned that I should ensure that children have a healthy relationship with Christ by knowing the bible for them to go out and preach Christ. I have also learned that discipleship will help young people live a healthy life and have a personal commitment to the lord (Linkedln Corporation, 2018). To support them in knowing God and foster a spiritual experience, I will create programs that will assist them economically and materially and work together with parents to nurture children and help them make personal choices.
