Leadership Overnight
You may remember that at the beginning of every semester, we have a 24-hour retreat with our student leaders from the campuses our team works on. This semester, spring of 2010, we had around 150 student leaders gather from SIUE and other schools all over the St. Louis Metro Area!
We heard from a great speaker on eternal perspective, the importance of discipleship, and received practical training in discipleship. As part of the leadership overnight, we had about 25 students in our home on Saturday night to learn more about our international partnership in East Asia—we spent time talking about what it means to be a World Christian our whole life long and how they can continue to be involved in moving the Gospel forward in East Asia by going, giving, sending and praying! We continue to see students’ hearts burdened to go to the world—what a cool thing it is to see God at work this way!
