Training Camp: staff discipler week 2016

We had an awesome week with our staff disciplers. We have 6 girls and 2 guys from all over the country.... California, Illinois, Iowa, Virginia and more. This staff will be leading our discipleship groups. Each will have 3-6 students and lead them through quiet time discussions, join them in skill groups (and soccer) and be beside them in their walks with the Lord this summer. We had lots of teachings and preparations for them. Our students arrive this weekend!

Training camp: this past week.... 2016

This past week our leadership team was rounded out with our assistants arriving. We have two ladies, Kaylee and Ensley that are joining our team of Rainer, Lindsey and Kaila. We spent the week in training sessions, doing more camp set-up and prep, and team meetings. It was a great week! We are so grateful to God for our leadership team that is traveling to Costa Rica with us. We have about 50+ people at camp, including all leadership teams from every trip. You can read more about the trips HERE.
