CCT Visayas Staff Attend Wholeness Seminar

Dr. Violeta Bautista, life coach 
and leading Filipino psychotherapist,  
wholeness workshop main facilitator.

Part of the work of CCT staff in the communities involves carrying on Jesus original mission of "healing the brokenhearted and binding up their wounds." About 30 staff members from CCT Credit Cooperative branches in the Visayas recently attended a workshop meant to enhance their comfort and competency in leading people they serve toward wholeness.  Journey toward Wholeness: A Training Program on Wholeness Facilitation for CCT Staff was led by Dr. Violeta 'Bolet' Bautista of the Care and Counsel Wholeness Center (CCWC) (http://www.careandcounsel.com/).  Attendees were from different levels of the organization such as pastors,  regional peer servants, area servant leaders, team servants, and covenant community builders. 

Dr. Bolet was assisted by Dr. Annabel Manalo, current head of the counseling department of the Asian Theological Seminary;  Cristabel Fagela-Tiangco, instructor at the University of the Philippines Extension Program in Pampanga (UPEPP), Prof. Rosanne Echivarre, assistant professor at UPEPP; Johnrev Guilaran, psychology instructor at UP-Visayas; and Jeimae Hernandez, psychometrician at CCWC.

Biblical reflections were led by Lorenzo Bautista, professor at Asian Theological Seminary. 

 The five-day workshop will eventually be attended by CCT Credit Co-op staff across the country. The initial activity was held on April 25-29, 2012 at Cecille’s Pension House in Oton, Iloilo.
