Phil and Bel Thomson work as a dynamic team and are passionate about encouraging and equipping people to live life to the full. During Church services, to compliment Bel's music and testimony, Phil shares a 10-15 minute Gospel message to tie the presentation together and issue a challenge from God's word. 

When sharing together at conferences, Bel shares her inspirational songs and stories, while Phil shares practical insights on leadership and living an intentional life. You will be challenged and inspired to take your next step of faith and passionately pursue your role in God’s Kingdom.

Phil offers quality and practical leadership content tailored to diverse audiences in a range of settings: Church ministry leaders, Schools, Elders retreats, Pastors gatherings, conferences and men’s/business breakfasts.   

All seminars/workshops that Phil conducts include theory (principles) and practical (demonstrated techniques, interactive problem solving, real scenarios) components. It is very important to Phil that participants are resourced through his speaking; He is all about empowering others for maximum Kingdom impact.
 
There is lots of flexibility on what Phil could provide:

  • Breakfasts or luncheons
  • 1-2 hours, ½ day, 1-day or 2-day workshops
  • Evening seminars     

He can provide training for groups of any size and these workshops can be tailored with application for a specific Church or for participants to take back to their own Church or business context.

Testimonials

"We recently had Phil Thomson do a couple of leadership session with our church – the feedback from people that attended the sessions was very positive, appreciating how practical and simple the teaching was and how the content enabled them to see their leadership roles a bit clearer, presenting a model and process to not only train up people but to also help them to lead the right way. I highly recommend Phil's ministry and would definitely have him back given the chance"
