Module 1: Start Building Your Ministry Tool Kit
A ministry tool kit is a collection of helpful counseling resources such as books, audio lessons, video teachings, courses, and handouts. It is the ministry tool kit, or set of resources, that you will "reach" into when you want to give your clients homework and take-aways at the end of your sessions. For example, you may want to ask a client to read certain chapters in a book and write a summary of what they learned or complete an audio lesson on a topic that came up in a session. Assigning homework and take-aways at the end of each session is a great way for your clients to continue their learning and healing between sessions. This is why it is important to have, and continue to grow, a ministry tool kit. Additionally, having handouts available as visual aids to screenshare with clients during sessions can enhance your clients' Zoom experience. Start creating your own ministry tool kit today by "filling" it with the must-have baseline resources and materials recommended in this module.
