New Wine Training Day Manual A step-by-step guide to running a Training Day.
Testimonies These are a number of testimonies that we have recently received from our Training Days across England: A great day of practical teaching and training that encouraged the church to have a go and step out in faith. As a result of the day we have established a prayer ministry team to encourage expectation that God will work and bring healing and restoration into people's lives. Church Leader, Essex.

Appendix 1 - The New Wine Values and principles of our Christian ministry: Our vision To see the nation changed through Christians experiencing the joy of worshipping God, the freedom of following Jesus, and the power of being filled with the Spirit. To see churches renewed, strengthened and planted, living out the word of God in every aspect of life, serving God by reaching the lost, broken and poor, and demonstrating the good news of the Kingdom of God to all. Our values Cross & Resurrection we want to honour all that Jesus has done for us on the cross, and to embrace the way of the cross for ourselves, while also knowing the power of his resurrection to set us free. Continuity & Change we want to be faithful guardians of an unchanging message about the person and work of Jesus, and the need for personal salvation and sanctification, while also adapting ways of worship, teaching, being church and doing mission according to culture and context. Gracious & Truthful we want to be kind and generous in the way we think and speak about others whether they agree or disagree with us, while also clearly communicating what we believe and why we believe it. Leadership & Every-member ministry we want to train and deploy anointed, courageous and missional church leaders, while also equipping every Christian to serve like Jesus in their home, church, work and life-place. Mission & Community we want to see the church become a missionary movement to love and reach the lost, to care for the poor and to bring justice to our homes, neighbourhoods, workplaces and nations, while also being a grace-filled community in which people can find relationship, healing, faith, hope and love. Natural & Supernatural we want to see every Christian using all the natural reason, wisdom and skill that they can, while also learning to operate in the supernatural gifts of the Spirit to minister to others in love and power as Jesus did. Now & Not yet of the Kingdom we want to proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God and to see that confirmed by miraculous signs and wonders, while also ministering grace to all, knowing that suffering will be part of life until Jesus returns and makes all things new. Transcendence & Presence we want to live lives that celebrate God s awesome power, transcendent majesty and sovereign work, while at the same time experiencing his intimate presence as we encounter him in heartfelt worship. 10
Unity & Diversity we want to work with everyone who holds these values in open, mutually accountable friendship, while also acknowledging and honouring differences in leadership style, church characteristics and denominational emphasis. Word & Spirit we want to derive all we believe, teach and do from the Bible as the written word of God, while also learning to hear and obey the voice of the Spirit speaking to us individually and collectively. 11

Appendix 3 Enhancing your day: All Saints Church, Marple. January 2010. I meant to give you a bit of feedback from the training day we had on 30th January. There were two things we incorporated which were FANTASTIC!!! 1. At lunch time people were offered the opportunity to go down with our Healing on the Streets team and have a 45 minute experience/introduction to doing it. About 20 did this and appreciated the opportunity. 2. Also at lunchtime we offered the opportunity for those leading a ministry team in their church to have half an hour together with the aim of developing a bit of a network group - to encourage one another and share experience and hopefully coordinate some training around specific needs. It was wonderful and very worthwhile.
