Leadership is part of life, it's not something we choose...it just is. People follow people. People follow you whether you like it or not! Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth...[and] you are the light of the world." What are the impressions that you are leaving behind and how do they impact the people/generation that follows? Yes it's true that some people lead more naturally than others. Never-the-less, we are all leaders.
So I'm planning a Leadership retreat in September. You high school guys are leaders in your classes and to the younger students at the Refuge. So this is for you. The plan is to go camping in Gorges State Park near Turtleback falls on Saturday the 14th of September. I hope we can all learn to step into our leadership roles. Let's make it a point to start now.
