ABBA MINISTRIES

Global Family Training

During over 50 years of marriage, and while pastoring two churches for a total of 35 years, Pete and Bev Caruso have learned vital principles of leadership, of relationship, and of biblical marriage and family.

They have effectively shared these principles in over 45 countries. They have written many of these in their published books and articles.

Now they have combined their training, experience, and background to develop a unique Pastors’ Seminar geared to train and equip pastors in the developing world. The Seminar includes a comprehensive syllabus (collection of sermon/teaching notes from the seminar and more) which enables a pastor to receive the Carusos’ training, apply it to his own life, then in turn, use the printed material to teach the principles to his own congregation.

Seminar topics include:

  • Biblical Covenant versus Marriage Contract God’s Authority Structure
  • Importance of Forgiveness
  • Differences by God’s Design
  • Keys to Good Communication
    •      Taking Time to Communicate
    •      What is Good Communication?
    •      Hindrances to Good Communication
    •      Levels of Communication
    •      Listening with Your Heart
    •      Importance of Understanding Feelings
  • Value of Affirmation
  • Goals for the Christian Family
  • Understanding Spiritual Gifts and How They Affect Home Life
  • How to Truly Love Your Wife and Meet Her Needs
  • What is Biblical Submission?
  • Love, Honor and O Boy!
  • Lovemaking, God’s Gift to Marriage
  • Purpose and Function of a Local Church and Its Leaders
  • Ministry Should Flow Out of One’s Family LIfe, Not Compete with It
  • Equipping the Saints for the work of the Ministry

The Carusos are both comfortable teaching through interpreters and are open to teaching world-wide.

They prefer to teach in a series of locations within a region of the world during one trip in order to make wise use of airfare. Most of their overseas trips range from 3-5 weeks and can cover several locales in one country or the main city of several countries. See Fiji Trip under Ministry Reports.
