PFP

Do you care about other people?

Of course you do! You are concerned about the well-being of other people, especially your friends! You do what you can to help them find 'peace of mind'. This is actually pastoral caring. The aim of this activity is to help people find peace in themselves, especially during times of stress - which, in our current society, are very frequent.
Would you like to be a better 'pastoral friend'?

Of course you would! This Pastoral Friend Program is designed to help you do a little better than you have been in helping your friends and others find that 'peace of mind' we would all like.

What is PFP?

Bullet   It is a program designed to help you become a better pastoral friend for the many people of all ages you know. We all have friends - people with whom we have a special relationship and whom we especially want to help in times of their difficulties.

Bullet   The Program covers basic pastoral/spiritual care understandings and skills.

Bullet   It is completed online. It is not difficult! It is FREE!

Bullet   You work through PFP at your own pace - you start and finish when you like.

Bullet   You can do it anywhere you like! (E.g. Svalbard - 1000 km from the North Pole - or in Central Africa, or in ...)

Bullet   It will help you to understand more about people's spirituality.

Bullet   It will help you learn more about your own spirituality.

Bullet   It will help you gain the skills to help your friends and others more easily.

Bullet   It is assessed through simple True/False statements, the answers for which are given in the web pages preceeding the statements.

Bullet   Your statement sheets are 'marked' immediately online.

Bullet   At the end of the Program, you are awarded a Statement of Completion.

Why not give it a try now?

Have a look at the next page that has an outline of the Program, go to the page after that and read the Preface. Then go to the page that follows the Preface and answer the questions on that page.

It's simple, and you will be a better equipped spiritual and caring person as the result!

God be with you!
