THANK-YOU NOTES
I was with my daughter-in-law, and we commented many times during the workshop on how amazing it was that we were able to do this for free and that someone had actually gifted that to us. It is such a different way of being and doing in today's world. We were both extremely grateful for the opportunity to receive this workshop gratis. Thank you to you and thank you to them.
Beret MSpiritual Director, Maryland
Thank you so much for your partnership with Mosaic and investing in the growth and development of leaders in the kingdom of God! As an executive pastor, my time can easily be filled with overseeing tasks and managing results but what the enneagram cohort has offered me is greater depth and insight in shepherding souls and helping brothers and sisters to steward their gifts for the equipping and building up of God's kingdom. Your generosity has been a huge blessing to me and to others!
Nathan WExecutive Pastor, Houston, Texas
Dear Friends. Muchas gracias for your support which allowed David to come bless our World Orphans Guatemala Team. The work in Guatemala is often taxing and heavy that can easily lead to burn out. David came down to Guatemala with a true servant's heart eager to encourage, build up, and connect our souls to Jesus. Each team member shared how God used David and the tools of Mosaic Formation to bring renewal and refreshment. David's heart to give the tools away and equip others is rare in ministry and yet refreshing. It is obvious that Mosaic Formation is passionate about bringing God's Kingdom and will on earth, as it is in heaven. Thank you for partnering to bring blessing to the beautiful people and church of Guatemala.

I really appreciate the training of the Enneagram Training Certificate made possible to me through the generosity of Mosaic's donor partners. The tool has given me a framework whereby I can concretely see where spiritual formation work is needed in my own life. The training also enables me to offer free consultation to Christians who were either wary of this tool or had no prior experience with it, and I was blessed to witness the Spirit's work of healing, hope and encouragement for individuals during those consultation. The Lord has laid an idea on my heart to adapt and share the essence of this model in the form of a series of spiritual formation small group meetings in a church context. I am grateful for this gift to me, and I look forward to sharing this invitation of deepening our transforming trust in Christ with more people in my communities.
Clara LSpiritual Director, Pennsylvania
I want to say a big thank you to all those who made this Enneagram training possible through your generous financial contributions. Being trained in the Enneagram has been a dream of mine, but with finances being tight it didn't seem like a possibility for a long time. So, thank you for blessing us with the opportunity to be trained. I am looking forward to offering this service to those I minister to, and am so grateful for the fruitful discussions in the cohort, as well as fruitful discussions I've been able to have with loved ones, during this training. Both Ted and David are gifted in leadership, and have the unique ability to shepherd and train well, and do so in a caring, thoughtful way. I am praying that Mosaic and SFSAZ continue to flourish and have the support they need to continue. These kinds of communities are healing!

Thank you so much for your generous giving that enables pastors to be equipped with spiritual formation tools that make stronger disciples of Jesus, for His glory and for the good of our neighbors!

I want to thank you for not putting a cost on this workshop. One of the things that bothers me the most is that resources are not equally available to all, but you made it possible for any interested party to attend. Thank you so much! Plus, this information is phenomenal. If you haven't had a chance to attend this workshop, I HIGHLY recommend. It is the cutting edge of The Enneagram from the Christian perspective.
Roseanne ESpiritual Director, Dallas, Texas
Thank you for your generosity. Campus ministry roles often have high turnover, whether from moving to a different role in ministry or leaving vocational ministry. The Discernment Workshop really helped challenge me in my faith to prioritize seeking and discerning God's will first before anything else.

Thank you for your generosity! Your giving has impacted more than those of us to received the training. The effects of the training ripple out to countless individuals, families and communities. And although you may not be physically present when we use what we have learned- you will be there as part of the what the Holy Spirit is doing in the lives of those touched. Thank you and May God continue to bless you to be a blessing!

TESTIMONIALS
David was such a blessing to our entire team. Several of my coworkers mentioned how David went out of his way to connect with each individual during the retreat in a genuine way. They were impressed that he already had knowledge about them and their lives. David facilitated the group times with excellency. God used it to connect us to Himself. David was flexible with the culture and sensitive to where our team was allowing for times of connection and interaction rather than sticking to the proposed schedule. All of these things were such a blessing. The listening groups were amazing. I am eager to continue to see how we can continue to do this better as a team.
Chad SmithGuatemala Country Director, World Orphans
I had the opportunity to use the resources and teaching of the enneagram through a Christ virtues lens with a current coaching client that had walked away from the Lord for several years. He was calling himself an atheist and no longer believed in God. After our consultation he was so impacted by the way he could clearly see God's movement in his life and how obvious the invitations to trust were. At the end of our call he came back to faith, and as I have continued our relationship over the last 4 months, he has started attending church with his family, to pray daily again and also started journaling. This training is so life giving and impactful in pointing people to Christ and guiding them along a very personal and individualized path of spiritual formation.

Mosaic Formation has been a true blessing to my ministry! Through Spiritual Direction with David, he has helped me to navigate back to God's life-giving waters time and time again. I appreciate his expertise in multiple styles of engagement, from cultivating sacred space to wise coaching, based on what I state my needs are at the time. With David's help, I have been better equipped to combat the many demands of ministry—from doubt to burnout. I HIGHLY recommend Mosaic Formation to my clergy colleagues!
Jay DMinister, Houston, Texas
David's workshop was exactly what our team needed. He provided approaches to spiritual discernment that felt fresh and doable for our team. The practical ideas that he gave will be instrumental as we engage in our planning processes this spring.
Tim LArea Director, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
Coaching others in the enneagram through the analogy of the beautiful garden of their soul as God has specifically designed them makes so much sense! Rather than a personality test that assigns a number and broad brush of analysis that feels so impersonal, seeing the interaction and combination of the different traits in God's specific design has brought encouragement and clarity to me and those i coach. Trusting in my own gifting and not in God allows weeds to grow and the garden produces so much less than the way it was planted by God. This analogy of preparing the soil of my soul, the seeds God plants, the water that nourishes, and the weeds that need to be removed is so very helpful. This turns a light on for so many who have already taken other enneagram assessments but never understood their beautiful design and now see the enneagram as a wonderful tool to help them deepen in their ongoing relationship with God and understanding of themselves and others. Thank you for an approach that is so different from labeling and self-improvement methods. This perspective brings an honoring of God's unique design of us, and opens doors for us to trust God and not strive to fix ourselves. We can celebrate God's design in ourselves and others; the garden is watered and weeds are pulled! And that makes for tasty fruit.
LuAnn RSpiritual Director, Scottsdale, Arizona
I loved getting away and having the quiet to process who God is to me in this moment and how loving and caring He is. I am also still reflecting on what I heard over the weekend, that God desires me to hear Him more than I desire to hear Him, and going off that, got reassurance of different ways God speaks. I don't think I would have been able to think through all this if I didn't have the quiet place.

This was the move holistic, helpful and hope-filled presentation and teaching of the Enneagram I have received to date. The team teaching of David and Cindy was exceptional.
