Wind Warriors
Do you want to share in the deepest dreams and joys, and the biggest questions and struggles, that your child has?
Do you believe that protecting your child requires preparing them?
You are invited to join in the
creation
of a scripture-based narrative that teaches spiritual self-defence.
We are pleased to announce this brand new initiative, in partnership with Dennis Hassell Productions.
Why should you engage in Wind Warriors? Churches are looking for good quality curriculum. Churches are particularly looking for ways to really engage kids, particularly at that 8 – 12 year old range. Churches are looking for ways to involve, support and equip parents in the spiritual nurture of their kids. Wind Warriors incorporates all these elements in a way that grows spiritual disciplines through imaginative and physical fun! It is not an obligation to old approaches, it’s an exploration of new worlds. And parents go with their children on the journey. The journey of following Jesus.
Wind Warriors seeks three results in both child and parent:
being AFFIRMED;
being STIMULATED;
being CHALLENGED.
These result from an imaginative and play-full construct.
Check out this video for more on why I think you should get your community engaged in Wind Warriors!
We are offering 3 phases to assist your church in launching Wind Warriors. Each option includes a professional instructor personally trained by Wind Warriors creator, Dennis Hassell.
Option 1:
Introductory Weeknight or Weekend Workshop: This action-packed hands-on workshop introduces kids, parents and local leaders to the program, demonstrates what a session is like, and grants access to initial curriculum and video support, to prepare local leaders for an 8 week session. It includes an extra 60 minutes on-site between prospective local leaders and the WWz staff trainer. This phase is required before launching the 8 week session program
Option 2:
8 Session Program Violet Knight (Weeknights or Weekends)
8 Session Program Violet Knight: This phase gives your church licensing and access to all the instructional videos, materials and other curriculum to equip leaders to run the first 8-week session.
Option 3:
5 day Summer or March Break Camp: This option, led by a Senior Staff Instructor, is the intensive equivalent of an 8 week program, and concludes with challenging for the role of Violet Knight, including a public demonstration/showcase on the final day for your entire community. All materials, equipment, curriculum and video support included. One or more local leaders will be thoroughly trained to lead 8 week programs the following fall/winter/spring.
