Coming Alongside Existing Ministries . In His Image (IHI) is committed to coming alongside existing ministries to assist them in training staff and lay-leaders to work with women and children. The duration and extent of the training will depend on the needs, interests, and location of the ministry. On the foreign mission field, IHI staff are available for up to a month, if needed. SeminarsWomen. Participants in this seminar will learn to use Bible characters and families as “case history” examples. Emphasis is on accepting responsibility and applying scriptural principals to overcome trauma and abuse. Read Bridging the Gap on the Mission's page for an example of what Leona presents during this seminar. Children. Participants are trained to use the Confident Kids program. Confident Kids uses Bible lessons, games, skits, and small group discussions to help children learn important life skills. Children learn how to understand and talk about their feelings. They are guided into a relationship with God, and are taught how to use prayer and scripture as resources in dealing with their life circumstances. The Confident Kids program can be used for a one hour outreach, or it can be used for a day, week or month Vacation Bible School program, or in the church as a program offered throughout the year. The Word of God holds answers for wounded and abused women and children. Both the Women’s Seminars and the children’s Confident Kids program are powerful tools that can bring wholeness and healing to them. If your church or organization would like to sponsor a Women’s Seminar or a Confident Kids training program, please contact Leona Karni. See bottom of this page for contact information. |

. Our world today is filled with people who are the victims of violence. Individuals become a reflection of what they experience within their families, neighborhoods, schools and overall environments. Women and children are vulnerable and often suffer abuse and exploitation. Their wounded spirits are in need of healing, but usually they suffer in silence and alone. They desperately need to be touched by our loving Father, and experience healing through the power of the Holy Spirit. The ministry of In His Image is designed to encourage participants in making choices that will break the cycle of destruction by teaching women and children how to use God’s word and prayer to overcome their circumstances, and become whole through the healing power of the Holy Spirit.
In the
seminars of
In His Image,
participants learn to use Bible characters and families
as “case history” Wounded people wound others. Without intervention the cycle of trauma and abuse will continue. Yet, through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, these women and children can not only receive healing but can be instruments to bring healing to others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ available seminar ~ C ONFIDENT KIDSConfident Kids is a Support Group Program and was established as a means to meet the needs of children living in high stress situations. It was designed to be used in a church setting as a weekly program, and to run over a period of a year. The child and parent were expected to attend together with each participating in a separate group. I (Leona Karni) have used the core ideas of this program in Africa, Europe, Mexico, USA, and the Middle East with success. The program adapts well for use in Summer Camp Programs, Youth Clubs and as an Outreach Program where there will be only a one-time contact. The core program has four units FEELINGS, FAMILY, CHANGE/GRIEF and CHOICES. The unit on Feelings is the building block for the units that follow and can be used independently of the other units. This is the unit I recommend for use if only one unit will be used. UNIT I: FEELINGS One of the most valuable life skills a child can develop is the ability to identify his/her feelings and know how to handle them appropriately. Goals of Unit Equip the participants with a feelings-vocabulary Instruct participants in labeling what they are feeling Discuss healthy ways of talking about and handling feelings Teach how to allow feelings to tell participant when they need to ask for help Share scriptural principals for dealing with feelings The session involves skits, a craft, whole group discussion time, and small group discussion time. Through the skit the topic is introduced, and the craft reinforces and further defines it. During group discussion the topic is discussed in general terms, and then, in small group the topic is discussed in personal terms. ___________________________________________________________ |
