While there are no requirements to host a Homebuilders workshop, the following are some traits that we hope are embodied by the Homebuilders host:
A desire to allow God to work in and through your life as you reach out to others.
Galatians 5:22-23 tells us that the “fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…” It’s impossible to live the Christian life in your own power, and that’s why God gave us His Holy Spirit, who dwells within you. He gives you the power and wisdom you need to make the daily choices of life. He gives us the discernment and sensitivity to leave a legacy as hosts.
We would rather have a regular couple controlled by God’s Holy Spirit hosting others than a bible college graduate or a professional counsellor not controlled by the Spirit. The reason being, every Homebuilders group is different, and every situation and every person is unique. There is no way that you can be trained to deal with every situation. But the Holy Spirit can and will give you wisdom in any situation.
