About WFTR

Introduction

Water from the Rock (WFTR) is a Christian organisation whose primary mandate is to contribute to the advancement of the Christian faith, either at an individual level or at a group level. Whilst we provide training resources to do this, we have also recognised the need to demonstrate what we teach by modelling a healthy lifestyle through routine day to day life. We normally do this through our internship programs. As an organisation, our internships are typically face-to-face and are specifically designed to help people in their personal development and/or to provide tools for growing others into fully functional members of society. However, for hose who are unable to do an in person residential internship we offer  online streams. This page is about those streams.

Our streams come out of two main spheres: Managing Your World and Transit (also known as Aspire). Below we summarise how these online streams are run within the work of Water from the Rock.

Managing Your World Streams

Managing Your World (MYW) is a weekly workshop run by WFTR to enable people to develop the life skills to ensure that their world does not fall part. It is one of our many training initiatives called the Disciplers Workshop ( www.disciplersworkshop.com ). Provided a person has attended our MYW workshops, they are automatically offered online 1-2-1 support known as Excel Streams (which may lead to residential internships). This section primarily talks about the online streams (if you want to apply for an in person internship please refer to our residential internships for more information).

Excel Stream 1

A monthly 1-2-1 session spread over 3months. This stream is with a WFTR representative to help a person develop a personal workplan to help them be good custodians of their inner world. It is delivered online, with each session lasting up to 2hours, and so it means you can receive this from the comfort of your own space

Excel Stream 2

A monthly 1-2-1 session spread over 6 months. This stream is with an experienced WFTR official who helps you not only to develop a personal workplan for your own life but also provides some practical suggestions on nurture others in your world without you becoming a victim in the process. It can be delivered online or you can meet face-to-face. Each session lasts 2 hours

Please be aware that the application process for stream 2 & 3 can take between 4wks – 3months.

Transit Streams

For those of us who have been given the grace to see ahead, there comes with it the responsibility of planning ahead. It’s one thing to know where you are going but it’s another to align oneself in a way that ensures we arrive where we are going. The gap (period) between one season and the other is called Transit. Transit can be a protected space where God can help a person to either make up on grounds they have lost in life or to help a person to make up such grounds in their own lives.

WFTR offers three streams of Transit to help Christians in their journey of faith. Each stream has been uniquely developed to cater for different seasons of life. Below is a summary of what we offer:

 

Aspire Streams

These streams is for those who are in transit out of a structure (or type of leader) into a new one. WFTR teaches that there are 4 types of leaders and, depending on our situation or people we are called to, any of these 4 facets can be applied. Over the years, the Joshua stream has helped many emerging leaders (who are struggling to grapple with enormous changes) to overcome the struggles of new leadership, be it in a faith based context such as a church or in a secular context. The stream period can range from 4-6 weeks (streams 1,2&3) to 3 months.

Couples Stream

In exceptional situations we do offer this stream online for couples preparing to marry (traditionally known as pre-marital counselling). Such exceptional situations are in the event of national or local crisis (such as the COVID lockdown or if a couple have already applied successfully for a residential internship in the near future).

What to Do Next

The information provided above is a snapshot of the online streams we can offer. We are receiving unprecedented interests in our streams and as a result, we may have to process initial inquiries on the merits of where you’re at in preparations. So please bear with us. As a starter, we strongly recommend that you register to any of our training initiatives – as this is more likely to give you a better feel of who we are and what we do. For those considering the Excel streams, the MYW workshop is mandatory before you can be considered for an online stream (the only exception being those who have applied for in-person internships). For more information, please use our interest form or contact info@wftherock.org and we will do our best to respond within 72hours.

As an organisation, we do not charge for the resources (the good news of Jesus) that we offer the Christian public but we do expect you to budget for the costs you incur on us whilst accessing what we are freely giving to you. Please bear this in mind for Excel stream 2 as well as the Transit streams.
