Search for Life
Human beings are spectacular, puzzling, brilliant and broken.Everyone needs to understand the power of our internal cry for acceptance, value and belonging. Everyone needs to understand the cause of our most basic struggles and find a solution to them.
Without insight and answers to the human dilemma we resort to inadequate and destructive patterns of behaviour to address feelings of low self esteem, inadequacy, emptiness and insecurity. This program identifies the cause of so many human tensions and introduces participants to the healing power of truth in a caring and safe environment.
Search for Life will free you to:
LOVE GOD - Knowing God and Yourself (your identity)
LOVE OTHERS - Healthy foundations for relationship
SERVE THE WORLD - Service, ministry, leadership from a healthy base
