Coaching for Christian Leaders and Businesses

For some time now it has been a possibility that coaching would be offered to Christian leaders,pastors and busnessmen through the Pillars of Fire Website. Finally we believe this is an area that the LORD is calling Peter to and we now want to take that step. This is done on a professional and commercial basis and is totally centred in our relationship with God.
  Not many understand the service of coaching. In essence the coach supports the individual in defining their purpose and goals and supporting them in the pursuit of those goals, helping them to overcome internal and external blocks to those goals being fulfilled within a specified time frame.

Overcoming a sense of being overwhelmed is often a key area of coaching.Coaching is acknowledged by many companies as a cheap route to consolidating and putting training into action as well as helping to reduce stress levels.
Through our own experience we know that pastoral work is highly pressurised.
