Read what people have been saying about P4 training seminars:

"Murray's style of teaching is very engaging; he started off the day with a personal testimony of his calling into youth ministry and teased other peoples’ stories out of them also. As the day went on, we experienced: drama, games with lesson, movies, discussion groups and role plays. The day was very interactive but also insightful. Time and time again, Murray brought little nuggets of truth to the group." - Gordon Fitch, National Co-ordinator, Presbyterian Youth Ministries.

“CCC on Pascal, Palmerston North recently had a group of 15 Youth Leaders attend a P4 Training Seminar run by Murray Brown. Our guys all loved the training. They were motivated and challenged on what it means to be a Leader and the different aspects a Leader has to face. They loved the interaction with participants who attended from other churches and that they didn’t have to be a ‘rocket scientist’ to understand the teaching. Our team have come away excited and ready to put in to practice what they have learnt. P4 training connects well with all age groups and CCC on Pascal will continue to use Murray’s programme as a pathway for anybody looking to come in to Youth Leadership.” - Jeremy, Associate Leader: Youth and Community (Palmerston North)

"Recently I took two of our youth leaders and five “up and coming” leaders to the first module of P4 training. It was a great opportunity for us to receive practical training as a team at various stages of leadership. Murray is a very engaging teacher who caters well to various learning styles and I plan to take our team to future training events." - Amy, Youth and Family Parish Worker (Palmerston North).

"The training day was very professional and I really liked how you kept our focus the whole day! We found it very informative and the session on God’s call was very encouraging to a couple of our young leaders. We are looking forward to attending your next P4 session." - Jenny, key leader (Christchurch)

"P4 consisted of great teaching, presented in a format that was easy to follow, and interact with." - Angela, volunteer youth leader (Rotorua)
