Journey of Generosity
Facilitator Training

Facilitators guide friends and peers through the Journey of Generosity experience.

Generous Giving provides training to equip you to facilitate a Journey of Generosity retreat. During training, you will learn the ethos of Generous Giving and principles of our experiences along with best practices for guiding the conversation. You will also practice facilitating sessions of the JOG.

It is our hope that you will catch a vision for sharing the message of biblical generosity in a winsome and meaningful way. The training culminates in hosting your first JOG as a trained facilitator.

You may choose to be trained in one of three ways:

Go through the online training course on your own
Attend a one-day Zoom training with others from across the country
Attend an in-person training with peers

What’s the difference between the online course, Zoom, and in-person trainings?

The content is the same no matter the format; only the delivery changes. Each training experience culminates in a plan for hosting your first JOG as a trained facilitator.

The training course is offered in GG Connect, Generous Giving’s portal for volunteers. To complete the training, you will read material and watch pre-recorded videos at your convenience. The course is about 2 hours, including a live Commission Call with a trainer to practice and receive prayer.
During the one-day Zoom training, a trainer will guide you through the material in real-time and you will practice facilitating with other trainees in virtual breakout rooms. This experience is 4.5 hours, including lunch.
The in-person training is an extended version with more time for live practice and connection with your peers who are attending the training. You can expect around 7 hours of content, including practice time and breaks. Lunch is included.

Will I be trained to facilitate both in-person JOGs and online JOGs?

Testimonials

"Being a JOG facilitator is a ministry role that can be carried out by a “non-ministry” businessman like myself. When the Holy Spirit moves into the room and you see hearts starting to change, when the switch flips and people start to “get it,” it is like no other feeling in the world. I mean, how often do we get an opportunity to be arm in arm with the Holy Spirit? It is so rewarding to be involved in sharing a life-changing message."

- Ron W. (Rockport, TX)

"It's true that there is no such thing as a bad JOG!"
