PLACE Ministries
Join Us!
While I have learned a lot the last 2+ years about online learning and the strengths and liabilities of online training there is a season for everything. I am thrilled to invite you to join us for us first live training event in Atlanta in almost 3 years.
Since 2020 I have like many learned a great deal about online training. I am grateful to be alive in the 21st century where technology has allowed training to be done from the convenience of an office or home to anywhere in the world. But there is a time and season for everything. In 2023 PLACE Ministries and I will relaunch our small and intimate PLACE workshop trainings (maximum of 10 people) at our office in the Atlanta area. And while we have not hosted churches in Atlanta over the last 3 years I and our team have certainly learned much as we have been updating and refining, yes after 25 years still updating and refining the PLACE process and tools. In 2021 I was able to start back traveling across the country to churches, colleges, seminaries and even teaching on personality and spiritual gifts in Israel where I will be returning in February to lead church’s leadership team through the PLACE process. Well, enough about me and PLACE Ministry.
Below are some of the highlights of what you will experience during our two- day training:
- Experience walking through the PLACE experience for yourself on Day One.
- The one question that will change everything with you teaching PLACE
and coaching others one-on-one. - How to immediately discern (even without the spiritual gift of
discernment) the direction a coaching session should go. - Why teaching the PLACE concepts is so important to the success of
implementing PLACE beyond just the assessments. - Insights into realistic expectations for those being coached after the
PLACE teaching. - Multiple ways to facilitate the workshop in both delivery and length.
- Who should be PLACE coaches and why?

- Who should be the first group(s) to go through PLACE and why?
- How to make an intentional process like PLACE become part of the DNA of your church
- Strategies and practical suggestions for promoting and getting individuals through the PLACE process.
- How to practically understand the 16 spiritual gifts used in the PLACE spiritual gifts assessment.
- Understand why so many churches cannot get an intentional assimilation process like PLACE to be effective. And yes, how to effectively get an assimilation process like PLACE to work effectively in your church.
- How to connect all five elements of PLACE together and not just understand them individually which creates tunnel vision and leads to diminished impact in using PLACE.
- Understanding why and how PLACE is different than most assimilation tools available and how to leverage the resources to disciple and grow your people along with your church.
- And much, much more!
