EXPERIENCE

A DEEPER JOURNEY

DLI Issachar Practicum

By choosing to be an AP Partner you are agreeing to:

Start by reviewing the other three Practicum webpages. It will be important that you understand what the Practicum entails so that you are able to support the participant properly.

Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress.

1 Timothy 4:15 (ESV)

1. Review Website
2. Regular Prayer

Praying throughout the Practicum year. This could look like praying weekly for them or however God might lead you. Regardless, it is to offer up prayers for this person with great expectation of the good work that God has planned during this program year.

3. Monthly Meetings

Meet monthly (October - April) either in person or online. It will be important to discuss with the participant who will be responsible for setting the meetings. If it is the participant who is setting the meetings, still don't hesitate to remind them if you have not heard from them.

4. Listening Well

Use the 80/15/5 rule when together. That is roughly using 80% of the time to listen, 15% of the time to ask questions, and 5% of the time to offer advice/counsel. However, this is not to dismiss the potential for some very important and valuable counsel (primarily when a person asks for feedback).

5. Keep Confidential

Some discussions may involve issues or information that the participant would like to keep confidential. In general consider making everything confidential unless the participant lets you know otherwise.

Role Description: Support the Practicum participant through prayer and meeting once a month in person or online from October through April.

The Practicum is being jointly hosted. Denver Leadership Initiative and Issachar Center for Urban Leadership are partnering to lead this effort. Partnering, when God led, is a case where two are better than one. We are trusting God for exactly that – powerful moves of God.
