Assistant Leaders - Summer 2008

A four week program for young people to share God’s love through outdoor pursuits...

Are you up for...

• moving out of your comfort zones?
• being open to go to places you never thought you’d enjoy?
• making friends?
• learning and teaching?
• receiving as you give out to others?
• pressing into more of God as we cry out for others to know his truth, his love and his best?

What's the program about?

It’s about giving young people a chance to share God’s love as they reach out to their own generation. It will appeal to those of you with a heart for adventure, and a longing to push the boundaries.

If you desire to trust God with all your heart (Prov3v5) and see him open up and uncover more of himself as you follow the plan he has for your lives, this is the program for you. As part of the YDT team, you will share the gospel, encourage, support and challenge young people to wrestle for truth and settle for nothing less than God’s best.

The great outdoors is a helpful environment for us where real wake up calls take place. Learning how we truly react to challenging situations moves us on to build stronger relationships, opening us up to break new ground - seeing further than we have before.

Who’s it for? Anyone 16 years and older who loves the Lord Jesus and has an adventurous heart. You don’t need any experience in outdoor pursuits, just a willingness to serve and get wet!
