Module 1: Start Building Your Ministry Tool Kit
A "ministry tool kit" is a collection of helpful counseling resources such as books, audio lessons, 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 between 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 or take-aways at the end of each session is a great way for your clients to continue their learning and healing between of your sessions with them. This is why it is important to have, and continue to grow, a ministry tool kit. Additionally, having handouts ready to screen share with clients during sessions makes for great visual aids that can enhance your clients' Zoom experience.
