What is Parakaleo?
It’s a lifeline for church planting spouses!
It’s a ministry designed to provide ongoing training, coaching, and relational support to empower spouses for their vital role in kingdom work.
Its mission is to strengthen the gospel-spreading impact of church planting by coming alongside church planting spouses, couples and church planting movements.
Hi Tami,
We are looking for some help in coaching our women in church planting in Canada. Our Canadian team meets in August in the Okanagan Lake to have some R&R but they would also need more help as women. Up until now we have been meeting together with the men in sharing about the churches and praying together for the churches. The women break up into their own time for prayer and sharing for 1/2 day. It is just not enough time.
This year we have some money to allocate to women’s ministry. We would like to partner with you and if possible because we do not think it is sensible to use our funds to allow a few women to go to the Parakaleo Retreat site – would you consider us covering your expenses to bring you to our church planter retreat in August where all the women will be present. It is in the beautiful Okanagan and you could come for the day.
How do you see us working together and extending coaching to our women? We have about 13 women across Canada and are spread very thin.
Could you send me your phone #?
thanks Caron Smed

Hi Caron,
Should I plan to be in Kelowna in August? What is the date for the retreat?
