Do you feel equipped to help someone deal with a crisis? Why or why not? What do you feel you still need in order to more effectively minister to people in times of crisis?

I believe one cannot be fully equipped enough but the mere fact that you are there to support them in the best capacity you can will go a long way. If it is what I need, it’s to be able to access the right community of help, when it is needed most. A prayerful minister would always make a good impact.

I don’t, I am not sure how to comfort someone in the midst of hardship. I feel uncomfortable sometimes. I would like more training and practice.

I would like to say I feel equipped to handle crisis, but the truth is that we don’t know what that will look like when the times comes. I have helped people in crisis in the past, it was not always very easy or pleasant. The Lord gives strength when the need arises, I trust in God for that provision when it is necessary.

I feel equipped to help someone in a crisis because I have received training in crisis intervention or have previous experience in providing support during difficult times. I also possess strong empathetic skills that enable me to listen and validate the feelings of those in crisis effectively. I have access to resources, such as counseling services, support groups, or materials that can aid individuals in crisis.

Yes. Unfortunately, I have been in these situations many times, and they are all difficult, but I have had some training and experience in dealing with Crises.
