Training ‘Awakens’ Youth and Young Adult Leaders

Story by Stephen Lee

More than 400 youth and young adult leaders recently attended the Awaken Convention at Tranquility Camp in Andover. Organizers offered various tracks to equip and train leaders to effectively serve their local churches: Adventurer, Pathfinder, Master Guide, Guía Mayor (Major Guide), Teen Leadership Training, Young Adults, Coordinator, and Audio/Media.

Carl Rodriguez, the conference’s youth director, states, “Our emphasis was to create an atmosphere with three objectives. First, for each person to have the opportunity to cultivate their relationship with Christ. Second, for each participant to grow as leaders while becoming more effective and efficient within their local churches. And third, fellowship.”
