| 1:8 Leadership Experience |
Join students across Kentucky for an experience that will change you forever.
Based on the missions mandate found in Acts 1:8, the 1:8 Leadership Experience is an exciting new discipleship and missions program for college students:
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Participants will live in community with 26 students and will learn how to become the leaders Christ intends them to be. Emphasis will be given on leadership development and the five purposes of the church. Mornings will be filled with teaching, training, field trips, and Bible study. Students will learn from business executives, seminary professors, campus ministers, and other passionate leaders. Afternoons and evenings will focus on practical community mission/ministry experiences. A stipend scholarship of $1500 for the summer is included. You will be raising $2500 for the mission to the Dominican Republic.
1:8 Highlights:
- Daily leadership labs
- Student community groups
- Learn from business and ministry leaders
- Six weeks of community service
- One week working with the SBC's Crossover outreach.
- Two weeks in the Dominican Republic, using a water purification project to share the Living Water (fundraising required)
