“Take strength from the grace which is in Christ Jesus. Pass on to reliable people what you have heard from me through many witnesses, so that they in turn will be able to teach others.”

2 TIM 2:1-2

ICCRS Formation Project Responding to the call which Pope John Paul II made in the year 2000 to all Movements concerning the

urgency and necessity of forming disciples in accordance with the heart of Jesus, ICCRS has developed an

international Formation Project for the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) based on the theology of the

Holy Spirit and on Charismatic spirituality.

Leadership Training Course

The ICCRS Leadership Training

Course, which is a one-week school, is

a way to help foster Leadership in the

Catholic Charismatic Renewal

worldwide. ICCRS is pleased to

partner with local Charismatic realities

in order to provide this weeklong

program that will call and empower

new leaders as well as strengthen and

encourage current leaders.

The course includes Mass, holy hour

and charismatic praise and worship on

a daily basis. In addition there will be

periods of time throughout the

program for fellowship and

community building, as well as

opportunities for the participants to

receive ministry.

Why an LTC?

The first segment of ICCRS’

leadership formation was the

establishment of the three-week

program in Rome, the Leadership

Formation Institute. The program was

met with real enthusiasm from those

who attended. The most common

question we were asked was, “why can

we not take this experience with us?

Can ICCRS produce this program in

our home countries?”

Obviously, it was not possible to

take the Vatican personnel, and the

Coliseum travelling all over the

world. Yet the demand for this kind

of formation was so strongly asked

for, that a condensed program was

created, offering the essence of the

three-week program in a one-week,

condensed format, using the same

topics as its foundation.

But this program is able to go

around the world! By being local

and of a shorter duration, many

more people can afford both the

time and finances to participate in

this program. Many have come for

the one-week course to “get a taste”

of the formation work of ICCRS,

then decide to attend the fuller

program in Rome.

We are very happy with the way

the one-week program is being

attended around the world and hope

you will join us for a “taste of the

program in Rome” right in your

area!

The goal of the LTC is to train

leaders and potential leaders in

serving the Church in the power of

the Holy Spirit. We provide this

program locally and in the span of

one week in order to make the

information and experience as

available to as many people as

possible.

Objectives

Give people a theological and

ecclesial foundation for

service.

Give people practical and

helpful information, about

serving the Church, deepening

the charismatic dimension.

Give people an opportunity to

experience the transforming

power of God’s love.

Create a network for people to

share experience, support, and

resources.

Vision

Our vision is to have capable

leaders, located all over the world,

using the charisms for service to

the Church. We see a worldwide

network of men and women who

have a common experience and

understanding of leadership

formation and service, who serve

the Church and the world with

their gifts, and the gifts of the

Holy Spirit.

“Catechesis, which is growth in faith and the maturing of Christian life towards its fullness, is consequently a work of the Holy Spirit, a work that He alone can initiate and sustain in the Church.”

CATECHESI TRADENDAE, 72

Curriculum

In the area of Teaching the Foundations/Passing on the Vision we will offer the

following:

1. Ecclesiology gives us a most basic understanding of the Church we are part of and

are desperate to serve. Key teaching points include: a brief time-line of the Church,

how the Church sees herself, leadership/authority structure in the Church, Vatican II.

2. Baptism in the Holy Spirit helps us understand and appreciate what this gift is and its

implication for us and the Church. Key teaching points include: An understanding of

the Holy Spirit, role of Holy Spirit in the life of an individual and in the Church,

charismatic experience of the Holy Spirit compared to sacramental experience of

Holy Spirit, the experience of baptism in the Holy Spirit.

3. Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) gives an understanding of the movement and

its functions as a servant of the Holy Spirit. Key teaching points include: A brief

history of activity of the Holy Spirit in the Church prior to beginning of CCR, a brief

history of the CCR since 1967, ecumenical aspects of CCR, CCR demographics, fruit

of CCR, Papal approval of CCR, CCR today, ICCRS.

4. Theology of Mission points us outward, looking to the world which Jesus spoke of

“Go forth and make disciples of all nations…” (Mt 18:29). Key teaching points

include: Jesus’ command to evangelize, the Church’s teaching on evangelization, the

heart of a missionary.

In the area of Practicum we will offer the following:

1. Elements of a prayer meeting (I): Structure and format of prayer

meeting, welcoming people, prophetic gifts/charisms during a prayer

meeting.

2. Elements of a prayer meeting (II): Praise and worship, giving a

teaching.

child of the Father.

2. Jesus: The role of Jesus, the person of Jesus, living under the Lordship of

Jesus.
