But I did want to tell you about LeaderTreks today. This is the amazing ministry that I get to be a part of starting this September. I decided to join their summit team, which is their new staff, a couple days before Christmas. I have personally known about LeaderTreks since Feb '06, and have got to experience a couple of things that this ministry does. Equipping Leaders to Fulfill the Great Commission is their heart... or I guess OUR heart. Student Leadership Development is what we do, and we use the classrooms of the mission field and wilderness in order to train students with these principles.
Anyways...
Why LeaderTreks? Why leave Florence?
Leadership is an amazing topic that many youth pastors desire to have knowledge of but don't have time to develop in. Think about it, Youth pastors are amazing individuals that pour their time and energy into running with students while having to accept responsibility for adult actions as a member of a youth staff. While they are off explaining the purpose of why kids should come and play paintball on a saturday, for example, LeaderTreks is in the office learning about Leadership, learning about your youth group and giving you a program for Leadership development that honestly youth pastors won't have time to develop.
Anyways, this is just a chunk of my thoughts on LT and my life...
Look for more later!
