How it came about...
John and Karen Louis feel blessed to have been located in Southeast Asia for over 20 years, and they are grateful for all their friends in the ICOC who have made that possible, including many friends around the world, especially the Southeast Asia Core Group, as well as the amazing staff and lay leadership of the Singapore church. For the past eight years, the Louis and their staff have been trained in many aspects of counseling and communication, and have been integrating their skills into a unique toolbox of both biblical and therapeutic expertise. In order to meet the needs of their congregation in Singapore, John and Karen put together several workshops for marriage and family, which have profoundly helped their ministries in Asia. "I Choose Us" (ICU) - a 4-part marriage program, and "Good-Enough Parenting" (GEP) - an 8-module parenting program based on schema therapy, were originally conceived as strengthening programs for their members, but have now evolved into also being evangelistic in nature. As others have heard about the success of these workshops, the Louis have received numerous requests to equip other leaders in the ICOC to be able to replicate these programs.
How to sign up...
If you or anyone from your congregation would like to learn how to deliver these programs, John and Karen will be conducting training in February 2010 on two different continents. Participants will be certified as Facilitators in both programs: "I Choose Us" and "Good-Enough Parenting".

The following are synopses of the two workshops:
|
"I Choose Us"
Relationships are wonderful gifts given to us by God. The Bible teaches that marriage is one of the most intimate relationships we will ever experience. Unfortunately, relationships today are exposed to more pressure and stress than ever before. Marriages are being destroyed by miscommunication, infidelity and the breakdown of trust, as couples choose to follow the world around them instead of doing what it takes to make their marriage work. While some divorce, others allow their relationship to grow as cold and loveless as two strangers in the same home. "I Choose Us" is a 4-part marriage workshop that will help you learn more about your marriage and the choices you can make to build the "love connection" in your marriage.

"Good-Enough Parenting"
Click on the icon to see a brochure/e-invite used by the members of the Central Christian Church in Singapore
to advertize this workshop to their friends.
Research has shown that when core needs are not met during the formative years of a child, "Lifetraps" (schemas) will develop. These core needs are:
1) Basic Safety
2) Stable Base & Predictability
3) Reasonable Limits
4) Love, Nurturing & Attention
5) Empathy
6) Validation of Feelings
7) Acceptance & Praise
8) Spirituality
While no one's parenting can ever be perfect, "Good-Enough Parenting" offers a step-by-step guide on how parents can
learn to meet these core needs, and provide parenting that is
"good-enough" to prevent Lifetraps from developing in their children. "Good-Enough Parenting" - a series of eight parenting workshops - was developed by John and Karen Louis and is based on Schema Therapy founded by Dr. Jeffrey Young.
"In a world of too much information, 'Good-Enough Parenting' uses movies to teach parents how to MEET CORE NEEDS, and, at the same time, how to avoid passing down their own dysfunctional behaviors. Schema Therapy has been successful with adults, but I have always wanted to see someone do something on preventing schemas, or Lifetraps, in children, and here it is!"
~ Dr Jeffrey Young
