“I believe SYIS is a strategic component of developing the relational skills our staff need to thrive and minister effectively for our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a proactive set of principles which, as individuals and teams begin to experience them in their lives, will foster the kinds of "one another" relationships the New Testament teaches - and that will result in the world seeing our Lord's love and unity in us more clearly. The result is that non-believers will ultimately see us and our message as from God and hence I believe - be drawn to our Savior.” |

"The workshop has helped me to see the importance of relationship with others in the ministry. If I had gone through this before, it would have saved me a lot of sorrow, pain and sleepless nights in dealing with the relationship issue in my life and ministry. It is not too late. I am grateful for this workshop because it will help me to be a better husband, leader, team member, and build up others in Christ." |

"The SYIS workshop is a key feature of our leadership development architecture. The biblical foundation, [ministry] context, skill orientation and adult learning approach are a powerful combination. Taken to heart, SYIS helps people to further reflect the Kingdom in their personal lives as well as extend the Kingdom by helping people minister together more effectively. We believe in this workshop. That’s why we’ve trained a global network of facilitators." |

“I just attended an SYIS Workshop. It was incredible. I learned so much about how I have hurt people in the past without even knowing it. One of the sessions really turned my life upside-down and I am still processing it. THANK YOU for putting this all together and making it available to us. You have helped to open our eyes, heal our hearts, and put tools in our hands.” |

“I have personally benefited from my participation in SYIS… I am able to deal more directly with conflict instead of running from it. My relationship with my wife, family, co-workers and friends has vastly improved due to the fact that I can share more openly and freely from who I am.” |

“SYIS training was some of the most beneficial and practical training I have ever received. Relationships are the foundation of all we do in life and ministry. Being peacemakers is a role most of us find ourselves playing at one time or another, be it in the local body, on our teams, or in the wider community. I appreciated SYIS’s style of teaching, the group interaction, and the very practical tools that SYIS provides. It really is indispensible and I would strongly encourage anyone in ministry to get this training.” |
