The RRR program (REBUILD, RECREATE & RENEW) is a Training Module specially designed by the English Council to infuse more energy and renew the PG Coordinators and Core Teams of the Charismatic Prayer Groups of various Parishes.
On August 15th, 2024 the EC team conducted this Program for the North B Zone at St. Joseph Church, Mira Road. The RRR Program began with Praise & Worship session by Alisha & Luke of St Louis Church, Dahisar.
The first session was an ice breaker to encourage listening skills and improve communication skills in us.
The next session was a talk by Dcn. Everest on the 5 Levels of Functioning in a Group. We had to introspect what was our individual level of functioning in roles as Detractor, Observer, Participant, Contributor, Leader.
The next session was 3 Principles for A Faithful Ministry – LSS (ACTS 20: 17-38) followed by another session on How to Rebuild, Recreate & Renew ourselves. Details of preparation to spiritual life, how to get spiritually fit and various spiritual exercises were explained.
We then went into a quiet place for REFLECTION for one hour followed by the last session where each of us had to stand and give FEEDBACK and our takeaway verbally.
A 2-hour spirited session on “Infilling of the Holy Spirit” was conducted by Br. Aaron Colaco. Dcn. Everest and Br. Francis Mendes laid their hands & prayed over each one.
Action Plan for each Prayer Group was discussed.
Finally, we wish to THANK all the organizers and Dcn. Everest for his excellent spiritual inputs with a touch of humour. The RRR module is an excellent one.
God bless ALL North B Zonal Core teams abundantly. Special thanks to Aaron, Alisha & Luke for so wonderfully leading the Praise & Worship and the Infilling of the Holy Spirit.
Experiences shared at the end of RRR Program:
- At the Infilling of the Holy Spirit I felt deeply touched and I am feeling very much renewed and I am just feeling so good about it.
- When I came here I came with a burden but after that after I got to know that our main coordinator is not around my burden increased but with the team around and the through the teachings, the infilling I was filled and felt like a real fire that came down and really feel so much relieved and we could share so much.
- I was a different person when I entered but now I can really feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit in this place. The Lord spoke to me and he said- Do not worry. No matter how busy you might me with your tuitions, house chores and the prayer group just look up, take rest, continue to depend on the Lord and he will make a way for you.
- As the infilling began, the Holy Spirit began to flow in a beautiful way I was very emotional. This is the first time ever that I wept and wept and wept and just felt the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I am filled with joy peace and strength. I feel so relieved, light. I feel so unburdened. Thank you Jesus.
- Today’s program was really good. Deacon conducted a very good session. It was deep. The Infilling session was very good. Look forward to deeper importance to my spiritual life.
- I thank all the organizers/preachers for all the spiritual inputs they gave. I felt I received deeper knowledge. e.g. : Greeting ministry – I can go beyond just praise the Lord, but appreciate them and make them feel special.
- Praise God for the melodious singing by the worship leader.
