Instructions
Here is the last assignment of the course. No matter what therapies or approaches you use to intervene in the lives of those suffering from the wounds of crisis and trauma, you, as a Christian, are able to bring the gift of spiritual care. This is not a technique; but rather the fact that you bring the gift of yourself and your relationship with Jesus Christ into every trauma setting. In this last assignment, you will describe your philosophy/theology and show how it translates into everyday practice. Below are three final videos to set the stage.
- Watch Ministry of Presence (Links to an external site.) (9:38) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0gE4HAO484
- Watch LCMS Disaster Response: A Ministry of Presence (Links to an external site.) (4:04) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2PgfysEJLc
- Watch Davids Prayer for the Vulnerable: HDI Disaster Ministry Conference 2016 (Links to an external site.) (13:41) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QNxXBk8JRo
- Write a 5 to 6-page paper that details your theology of crisis and trauma spiritual care. Your paper must include a biblical basis and key themes of your philosophy of care that are uniquely tailored to your personality and gifting.
- Use content from any of the books, articles, and videos from this course as well as additional resources.
- Use the videos and books I have supplied as references.
