Live Boot Camp

Boot Camp is a four-day training, with live or video teaching by Cyndy and Bryan Sherwood. This intensive training is designed to prepare incoming men and women to lead  Healing Journey or Freedom Journey either as a Class Facilitator or Small Group Leader.

Class Facilitators are equipped to launch this ministry successfully in their church, ministry center, or neighborhood and lead the class each week. Extensive training is given through instruction and experiential learning, equipping Small Group Leaders to successfully guide students through the primary healing steps taught in the class.

It is highly recommended that all new Class Facilitators and Small Group Leaders attend Boot Camp and that Boot Camp alumni return every few years for a refresher.

DIY Boot Camp – Host a Boot Camp In Your Area

DIY Boot Camp is a complete curriculum, equipping Boot Camp trained leaders to train up-and-coming small group leaders for Healing Journey and Freedom Journey for Teens. What is DIY Boot Camp?

  • A complete curriculum, equipping Boot Camp trained leaders to train up-and-coming small group leaders for Healing Journey and  Freedom Journey for Teens.

What are the prerequisites?

  • Anyone in the role of training others must first complete Healing Journey, attend a live Boot Camp, and have led a Healing Journey small group. It would be best to lead for a couple years before training someone else, but once is an absolute minimum.

What do I need?

  • Materials: Purchase a DIY Boot Camp Kit which includes a comprehensive Planning Guide and one Syllabus. Links to the products are at the bottom of this page.
  • Videos: Rent the 22 video teaching segments (streaming, Flash Drive, or DVDs) when you are less than 30 days from your event. In the event of poor internet availability, you may want to rent a DVD set or Flash Drive.
    • Streaming – Boot Camp. For your convenience, this will be available to you for 30 days.
    • Rent a DVD set or a Flash Drive with the Boot Camp Sessions. The cost of renting includes a deposit of $100 that will be returned to you when we receive the DVD set or Flash Drive back.

What are the costs?

  • The cost of the kit is $50.
  • The video rental fee is $200 plus a $100 returnable deposit.
  • The participant fee is $100 per person. No cost for trainers in some situations.

What are the pros and cons of DIY Boot Camp versus attending a live event?

  • Pros: A greater likelihood of all potential leaders participating and receiving the training because it is being offered locally.
  • Pros: A more affordable cost to the participants.
  • Pros: The option to offer Boot Camp on dates most convenient for your team.
  • Cons: Video teaching versus live teaching.
  • Cons: A smaller number of participants to train with than at a live event.
  • Cons: Because the small group training experience is only as good as the level of ability of the trainer, the risk of poor training exists.
  • Cons: The likelihood of fewer trainers to learn from than at a live Boot Camp.
