Dear facilitator family,


For this edition of our newsletter, we want to open with asking you to join us in prayer for the Middle East. We received these prayer requests from facilitators across the region and from a U.S. ministry to service members. Please join us in lifting up our trauma healing leaders, partners, friends, and family in the region during this difficult time.


  • For people in Iran, Lebanon and the Gulf that are facing attacks:

🙏For safety and provision of basic needs

🙏For children, especially, who are scared

🙏For places already in dire circumstances, like Palestine, Gaza and Syria

🙏For God's peace where there is fear for what is next


  • For Bible Societies in the region

  • For decision makers – that they may be surrounded by wise counsel

  • For U.S. service members & their families - that they would have eyes to see, ears to hear, steady hands and hearts, and a Strong Shelter


We also invite you to visit our new Prayer page, where you can submit a request and pray along with the Global Community of Practice.

Blog: Leading a Community of Practice

The need for trauma healing is so large and urgent that churches and organizations cannot afford to work in isolation from one another...and that's where Communities of Practice come in. 


To help you lead a gathering, we put together this blog post of suggestions from the Advanced Facilitator Handbook (p. 61).
