Facilitators

While the Sozo UK Leadership team are very happy to support church teams there are just too many!

We partner with some of the most experienced Sozo practitioners to support other churches.

We call these wonderful people Facilitators. Sozo Facilitators are appointed by Christine West the UK Country Director with the agreement of their church leadership.

What do Sozo Facilitators do?

  • Sozo Facilitators will already be an integral part of the Sozo team in their church . 
  • Maintain contact with the UK Country Director to ensure understanding & practice stays up to date.  
  • Represent and promote Sozo UK, upholding the values and best practice  
  • Liaise with the senior leadership of churches they are working with to develop their church Sozo teams
  • Maintain contact and provide support and information to team leaders who relate to them
  • Arrange 2 or 3 group meetings a year for the Sozo team leaders who relate to them
  • From time to time Sozo Facilitators will observe Sozo team leaders to ensure that their understanding & use of the Sozo tools continues to reflect the Sozo model. This will also give the opportunity for Facilitators & team leaders to learn from one another.

If you are interested in exploring the Sozo ministry get in touch with the Facilitator of your choice. Someone local might be easiest, but you are free to work with any UK facilitator that you wish.

Tandy is the author of “Sozo for Families” and “Encountering God with your Senses” and has been involved in children’s ministry for over 25 years. Tandy longs for all children and young people to have an opportunity to encounter and experience the unconditional love of Father God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit.

Tandy truly believes transformation begins with family and that starts in the home! As parents teach their children to forgive and to take time each day to stop and be still they will be giving their children not only tools for encountering Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit, but also equipping their children with the tools needed for spiritual warfare in the years to come!
