Charis “Teaching Birth”
Workshop
Saturday, April 13, 2013
9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
At
LifeSong Midwifery
in North Port, Florida
For childbirth
educators, doulas, midwives, or anyone who would like to improve their ability
to communicate with and educate expectant families.
At our workshops, learning is interactive, hands-on, fun, and interesting.
All Charis workshops are taught from a Christian perspective, giving God the
glory for His marvelous creation and how He so wonderfully created women to bear
children.
You will spend the day making new friends and becoming more skilled in preparing
effective introductions, asking powerful questions, creating a learner-friendly
environment, capturing the attention of learners, helping clients embrace their
responsibility of making informed decisions, and so much more.
In addition to the valuable skills acquired at the workshop, you will also take
home with you an assortment of visual aids and other valuable teaching tools to
enhance your future students’ learning experience.
A delicious lunch will be provided for all the workshop attendees to enjoy as
you get to know each other better during a midday break.

Our
Director's Heart
Kristin Schuchmann and Jannekah Guya
In Africa!
Our executive director, Kristin Schuchmann, is in Nairobi, Kenya with the
Guya family. No doubt Kristin will return full to overflowing with
stories of her adventures and the
joy of having helped the newest Guya baby safely into Jannekah and
Martin's loving
arms!!
We've all been praying for the elections happening right now in Kenya. So
far things have been peaceful, even in the "hot spots", not always the case
during elections. Charis is praying for the safety of our friends and
loved ones, and for the whole country! Please continue to pray for
peace, the people of Kenya, and their leaders.
Blessings,
Susan Oshel, CPM
Director of Midwifery studies
Nairobi, Kenya
Nairobi is the capital of Kenya. The
name "Nairobi" comes from the Maasai phrase Enkare Nyrobi, which translates
to "cold water". The phrase is also the Maasai name of the Nairobi river,
which in turn lent its name to the city.
