CARE LIFE Connections More CARE Connections Christian CARE Intro Christian Relationship Skills Perceptions Three Things Everyone Wants Site Menu  Empowering the Process To EMPOWER : empower means to give ability to, enable, or permit something. Once you have Listened, Identified with the person and his needs, gathered the Facts of the problem, your next step will be to Empower the process of problem solving by working together with others who can help in finding a workable solution. When you have come to the step in which it is time to activate the process toward solving a problem, all the people involved need to work together to help find a lasting solution.   Do you feel that it is important for everyone involved to work together? Why? ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ Some ways to begin working toward a solution   1. Utilize all the available knowledge you have obtained for solving problems   Link this knowledge with prayer... Open discussion with the person having the problem... And restating the specific problem.   2. Be sure to involve the person who has the problem in the solution developing process: Ask some questions: "How do you think we can begin to solve this?" "What do you suggest should be done?" "What do you think?"

3. Work to obtain a commitment for action: Ask additional questions: What can be done? Who can help in reaching the goal? How should we get started? When can we begin?   4. Stay in contact with the person in need   Follow up what you have begun. Don't start to help someone and then abandon them. Look over the 4 points listed above, and consider how each one is important in helping people solve problems. Record your findings for future reference and discuss them with a friend.   _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________   The process of helping people with personal problems is a delicate one, and as you have probably discovered already, it is not something to be entered into without care and understanding. Always ask for God's guidance, and seek professional assistance if the problems encountered extend beyond your experience and ability.   Coming together is a beginning Staying together is progress Working together is success   In order to progress in this series on Christian relationships we have developed a section called Perceptions which we believe you will find helpful.
