I am now officially part of the Training Services Department. My job title is “Ministry trainer” which covers things like drama, dance, mime, story-telling, sharing your faith, tricks, puppets, clowning…and more!
And before you ask, no I am not doing all these things myself (thank goodness), just overseeing and coordinating the training for some of them!
This is all a bit of an “evolution in process”, as my friend Mel and I are moving into jobs which didn’t exist before and which are not developed at all. We have to think about training strategies, as well as organising stuff that is already happening on board. Most of all, our focus is on developing people, equipping them with new/more skills in a variety of areas and ensuring that the ministry of the ship is as effective as possible. Pretty cool, huh?! I’m excited anyway.
