On 30 January this year, over ninety students, guests and tutors attended the graduation ceremony for the 2009 Certificate of Christian Counselling course.

In her address, CWR Director of Training Elizabeth Hodkinson used Philip as an example to encourage the students to focus on their relationship with Jesus so that He could lead them in their ministry.

On 12 June, the students on the 2009 Diploma course had their ceremony.

The occasion was particularly poignant, as a posthumous award was made to one of the students on the course – Sheena Gillies.
