The
Vessel: Understanding Your Divine
Design
 |
Just as a ship, or vessel, is inventoried and stocked
prior to embarking on a journey, this workshop is designed to help you
inventory the unique attributes God has divinely designed into your vessel
- you!
Without clarity of your design you are susceptible to
making choices that take you on journeys never intended for your vessel,
resulting in feelings of frustration, fatigue and failure.
Knowing your vessel is foundational to discovering
your life mission and vision, as your design is usually the means and
provisions God gives you to find, follow and fulfill His purposes and
plans for you.

"...each of you should know how to possess
your own vessel in sanctification and honor." 1

Testimonies
from Travelers: As
a result of attending this workshop…
“...I have more trust in my gift of discernment, which I previously
referred to as intuition.
I am more aware of my God given talents.
I became more clear about prioritizing my values.”
John
Brooks, Training Manager, Sacramento, CA
"...I was
able to have the wonderful experience of discovering God's design for
me.
This has been an
important step in my Christian walk because it is going to help me to be
focused, fruitful, faithful, fulfilled in every aspect of my life with
the assurance that I'm going to do what God has designed for me to do
according to His perfect plan.
This seminar also
has freed me! It has destroyed worries, confusion, and anxiety regarding
how I was going to please God without having any clear info about who I
was. I did not know what was right, and what was God's purpose in my
life. Now I have a sense of peace because God has provided for me the
direction and He has revealed to me His partnership in everything that
He is going to bring into my life.
I recommend this
seminar for every Christian that is interested in walking in partnership
with God, and allowing Him to transform his/her life into an exciting
journey."
Ana Maria Veas,
Berkley, CA
“I
feel very grateful to God and the
Mission of Grace staff for the creative gift of this comprehensive
workshop (After struggling to meet the cost, I can honestly say it has
definitely been worth it)! I have:
-
profited
from the unusual opportunity to discover my own deeply held personal
values…as well as the opportunity to integrate these with all of the
other design areas UNcovered in the workshop
-
gained
a more wonderous understanding of these components as they have played
out in my life
-
felt
empowered to more actively pursue a different career which will not
only build up the body of Christ but be more fulfilling in ways I have
been individually gifted.”
Judy Matselboba, Pinole, CA
"Finally, they returned by ship to
Antioch of Syria, where their journey had begun and where they
had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now
completed." Acts 14:26
