Christmas Break

We are taking a bit of a break for the Christmas holidays. We will start things up again starting January 4th with Pastoral Care training at USI, and personality testing it IHM-La Trinidad the following week (with some others of us at Lide-Walker).
NOTE: Slots for CPE I (March 21 – May 28) are filling up fast. God to the ARTICLES section of http://www.bukallife.org and download the CPE application form now if you want to be considered for chaplaincy training.

2010 Batch 2 CPE

CPE trainers and trainees.

Photo of 2010 Batch 2 CPE trainers and trainees. Eden and Gem were unable to be in the picture (Sayang!!) but Bernard, Sofia, Jheny, Celia, and Ptr. Joel were.

BTW, completed a smallgroup training in psychometric testing and learning styles with teachers from Immaculate Heart of Mary School in La Trinidad. We think it went well, and look forward to working with other schools in the Northern Philippines in this area.

Pastoral Care Ministry Trip Planned

Our CPE Ministry Team is planning to be in Sagada, Mountain Province, (God willing and weather permitting), August 2-6. This is a time of ministry in the local hospital there, as well as a time of intense training, and (yes) refreshment.

Mid-June Updates

Just completed the graduation for CPE on Tuesday (June 15). On the 14th had the orientation of the CPE-Extended. This is 240 hour training (versus the normal 400 hour) training in pastoral care practicum. There are 5 students. These include people from 5 different denominations (Catholic, Episcopalian, CAMA, Assemblies of God, and Fundamental Baptist). We believe this diversity should add to the educational value of the training.

A New Old Name

Report from our December 2nd Meeting… Well, we can’t make up our minds sometime. Back last May, the CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) program at PBTS called itself “Shepherd’s Oikos” (household of the Shepherd). But when we decided to form a “real” organizaiton, we came up with the name “Asia Association of Pastoral Care and Supervision” (AAPCS). While that sounds really impressive… somehow “it just ain’t us”. Therefore, we are going back. The Pastoral Care program at Bukal Life Ministries will again be called “Shepherd’s Oikos”. It is headed by Pastor Joel Aguirre of West Baguio Baptist Church (and PBTS). Assisting him is Celia Munson of the Virginia Baptist Mission Board. It will be focusing on three major ministries at this time. They are: CPE … See Moretraining (9 week practicum), Disaster Relief Care Chaplain training (1-3 days), and Shepherd in Every Pew Seminar (1-2 days). Hope to do some symposium work, and an electronic journal (if we have time).
