With great joy
and renewed enthusiasm we report that
Agape's counselors participated in an
all-day Team Building Event on June 25! We
would like to express heartfelt thanks to
Jodi Allen for creating the program for the
day and for giving us strategies to continue
fostering a sense of camaraderie and
togetherness into the future. Her
presentation was outstanding! She was a
professional among professionals, and
maintained a balance between focusing on
issues, development, fun and fellowship.
Jodi's presentation was counter to
the often stereotyped "team building day".
She engaged, challenged, and encouraged in a
relatable and authentic fashion. As a
corporate team builder, she delivered the
goods!

Tai Yong co-led a
Saturday marriage seminar to couples at New City
Fellowship on August 22. The seminar was based
on research from the
Preparation and Relationship Enhancement Program,
focusing on recognizing poor communication, learning
speaker-listener techniques, expressing the self in
specific terms, coming to proper resolution, and
developing friendship. Not only did Tai
present reliable theory, he also allowed the couples
the opportunity to make the knowledge practical
through role play exercises.
