Wisdom Well
Review - renewal - re-envisioning
With Simon and Julia Matthew
What?
Simon and Julia offer to lead you through a time of review, renewal and re-envisioning.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” (Proverbs 3.5-6 NKJV)
“My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment, hang on to them, for they will refresh your soul. They are like jewels on a necklace. They will keep you safe on your way, and your feet will not stumble.” (Proverbs 3.21-22 NLT)
Why?
Review and renewal are essential to effective leadership. If we don’t know where we are, or where we’re going, we won’t know if or when we arrive! The support of others who have walked a similar path can bring fresh insight, faith and inspiration.
Who?
For recognised and emerging leaders.
How?
With complementary gifts, Simon and Julia work together to encourage people to:
- take stock
- overcome hurdles
- find fresh faith or vision
- set goals for the future.
Simon and Julia Matthews
have been involved with church ministry and leadership for many years and know the value of taking time out of busy schedules to think and pray. Doing just that has enabled them to burn on rather than burn out!
Simon is Plumbline Ministry International’s Apostolic Team Leader and he continues to work in establishing a growing network of churches in the UK and overseas. He also enjoys boating and gardening.
Julia has been responsible for pastoral care in a local church, served on an eldership team and now works as a trained counsellor. She enjoys walking in the countryside, reading, and knitting .
Having raised their own family they are now enjoying the grandparenting stage.
