January is a busy month for us. A few things include:

  • CPE and CPO groups start being supervised by Chaplain Vo.
  • Chaplain Celia and Dr. Bob are leading a semester course at Faith Bible College on ‘Types of Christian Counseling.”
  • Chaplain Fritz is leading a semester course at Philippine Baptist Theological Seminary on ‘Counseling Theories and Techniques.’
  • Dr. Lyn is doing training and counseling work with Salvation Army.
  • We have one SIT who is ready for Diplomate board, and two CPE trainees ready for Clinical Chaplaincy boards. Hopefully they will be held in January.
  • Dr. Bob and Chaplain Celia are preparing for their trip to the CPSP Plenary in Atlanta, Georgia (USA) in March. They will be representing both CPSP-Philippines and Bukal are are expected to be doing a presentation at that event.
  • Dr. Paul will be leading the CPSP-Philippines annual BOT meeting, also this January. He has been diligent in “squaring away” the paperwork for Bukal Life Care and CPSP-Philippines that need updates duing COVID.
