Phnom Penh, Cambodia

ONYX is foremost about helping emerging leaders begin a journey that engages dealing and healing from their pain, and therefore about becoming more fully human. It is about becoming awake and aware of who one really is, and all that they are in God. We help them detach from an over-identification with their thinking, feelings, and past baggage. It is about freedom, about the Gospel. 

An outline of the program looks like: an adventure retreat followed by a 4-5 week teaching block with sessions every Saturday morning for a year. Each block is followed by fieldwork or a field trip. Blocks include 5 Love Languages, Leadership Time-Line, Personal Spiritual Formation, Leadership, Missional Church, Mediation /Reconciliation, Critical Thinking in the Gospels, Men/Women Issues, and Cambodian Church History. 

The ONYX Program, Dove’s Coffee House ministry, Language School/Drop-In Center, and Leadership Club in Phnom Penh are intentionally cross-pollinated in order to expose emerging non-churched leaders with emerging Christian leaders of the last 5 ONYX cohorts.
