I have accepted the offer for a one year contract with Doulos Ministries, and will be participating in a discipleship training program called LeadTime starting this August. This blog is where I am going to share my experiences, prayer requests and just general things throughout the year to keep all my family, friends and supporters up to date on whats going on. So if your curious about what I am up to, or how you can pray here's where to find out! :)
LeadTime is a one year discipleship program for young adults ages 21-30. It is for those looking for missional life training and is intended to prepare you for the next level of serving God. LeadTime is intended to nurture godly character in the particpant, as well as develop practical ministry skills so that you can be a servant leader in any environment whether that be ministry or career.
This is achieved through 3 main components. There is a formal study time, opporunity to serve, and the experience of belonging to community.
The study time includes topics such as Knowing God, Knowing Ourselves and Understanding Ministry. These classes are taught by staff and leaders from the community.
The main serving component is with high risk teens at the residential care facility Shelterwood located on the same campus as LeadTime. LeadTimers are considered "Bigs" while on campus and the teens are "Littles." Bigs mentor and support Littles while they are at Shelterwood in treatment. LeadTimers not only learn in the classroom what it means to serve, they have the opportunity to live that out and learn in a practical way what it means to serve and love like Jesus.
Community is unvoidable at LeadTime! :) LeadTimers work, study, live, learn and play together in very close quarters! This opens up a unique opportunity to develop deep relationships rare in todays world. A real life iron sharpening iron experience!
