Summer 2007

This summer we have been hosting a number of different week-long events.

One is called Caleb, which is geared to expand the mind and to give potential mentors for Young Leaders insight into what Young Leaders will be experiencing. This is a vital step to establishing a good relationship between the mentor and the Young Leader during the 2 year follow up stage. We had one Caleb in May and are preparing for more in August, September, and throughout the rest of the year.

We are also running a Discipleship Plunge in July, which is for college-aged and 20-somethings to get a small glimpse of what Young Leaders would be like. This is a great opportunity for those that are interested in Young Leaders, but can't get away for the longer 40 day experience. But for others, it is part of the discerning and prayer process to see if Young Leaders is something that God is calling them to. We are looking at doing possibly 2 more Discipleship Plunge's in January.

These are two key things that are helping us prepare for an outstanding 40 day Young Leader experience in 2008.
