The last two weekends, we've had the privilege of attending both Leader Weekend and Campaigner Weekend. Both were incredible opportunities to fellowship in rich community, encourage, cast vision, and get away and rejuvenate!
We took about 60 leaders from Northwest Arkansas down to Little Rock to meet the rest of the leaders from around the state of Arkansas for Leader Weekend. It was a time to meet, share ideas and struggles, and learn from leaders in other areas doing the same things we are. It was such an encouragement to know we're not alone!
We also had the honor of hearing from our regional director and a guest speaker. Both encouraged us to be "congruent," being self-aware and understanding our deepest hurts, so that we can move forward.
This past weekend, we took 53 leaders and high schoolers to Campaigner Weekend! We had the opportunity to pour into our campaigner kids and give them a vision for what Young Life can do in their schools. It was a chance to encourage them to be a part of something bigger than themselves!
These two encouraging weekends came at a great time. As we approach the middle of the semester, it's easy for our students to get burnt out and stressed with school. Both Leader Weekend and Campaigner Weekend were good encouragements!
