HOPE OCEANIA SCHOOL OF LEADERSHIP (HOSOL)

Hope Ministries Australia initiated its first Hope Oceania School of Leadership (HOSOL). The School ran over two consecutive weeks from 23rd November to 4th December, 2015 under the teaching of experienced church leaders and pastors. The key teachers were Ps Wilson, Ps Lai Ling, Ps Brendan, Ps Joshua, Ps Torch, Ps Lance and other senior leaders. 

Great care and preparation was undertaken throughout the training to ensure students were equipped and empowered with key leadership aspects. Ultimately, this is in hope of the students becoming even more effective leaders in their respective churches. The course included a large variety of reasonably intense subjects that also required necessary devotional time to study deeper into lessons whether in or out of the school.

These courses included; Inspirational Leadership, Foundational Bible Interpretation and Study, Church Growth, Art of Public Speaking and Sermon Delivery, Philosophy of Ministry, and Team Dynamics. The course also included the Hope Leadership Conference and Hope Church Conference. Veteran Christian leaders, Ps Andrew Evans and Ps Gordon Moore were the keynote speakers and they shared their insights and experiences. The students were deeply inspired and challenged.

Students were stretched physically, mentally, and spiritually but nevertheless joyful memories flowed endlessly on a daily basis. Throughout the course, students enjoyed fellowship-filled meals with the leaders - many memories and connections were made. At the same time, God’s presence filled the school with blessed testimonies and new beginnings for a new season for each and every person.
