The Last of the Year

We had our last Leadership Day of the year, and the day was thoroughly bittersweet. It’s sad to reach the end of anything, and this was no different. Though I was excited because it was the first Leadership Day I’d had the opportunity to be a part of.

The day more than met my expectations, it blew past them. Half of the interns had their family with them, and I’m so glad they had the chance to experience what I did. The sight of all of the students was enough to break anyone’s heart, and when they began singing, the unity and beauty of it all was overwhelming.

Leon DeHaan, longtime friend of the ministry, spoke about the importance of being a coach, and during small-group time after he spoke, many were brainstorming different ways that they could positively impact their communities. The ideas were amazing, and their enthusiasm and passion to see them come to fruition was heartening. Needless to say, these learners have been impacted more than they could ever have imagined. We’re raising up students that aren’t just preparing to lead in the future, they’re leading right now.
