Most Beneficial

The most benefit can be derived from these classes by wise planning and advanced preparation.
~ Schedule classes in advance so attendees can 
    prepare to be present.
~ Schedule enough time for attendees to really engage
     in the content. Packing too much in one session is 
    anti-productive.
~ Schedule time for a devotional which will help 
    attendees mentally and emotionally prepare for the
    lesson God has for them. Dr. Dekle will be 
    delighted to share appropriate brief encouraging
    devotional challenges to help set the tone for 
    sessions
~ Schedule follow-up, encouragement and 
    accountability to help attendees apply classes.

Finances

A fee is not charged for this ministry. However, honorariums or gifts are greatly appreciated and will be helpful in extending similar training to help others increase their effectiveness in reaching and teaching children for Christ. Please consider at least
covering fuel expenses.

The Dekles have an RV available (if needed) for accommodations when traveling.
