NEXT STEPS

Pastors Allan, April, and Oddie suggest the following for you and your team in the weeks to follow the first cohort online session:

Get the Book: Make sure that all your team members have a copy of the book in the format they learn best in [i.e. hardcopy, electronic, audio]. Read it with the goal of completing the book before the next online intensive.
Use Discussion Guide: With your team, use the discussion guide to process “Week 1 and 2.”
Watch: Pastor Allan provided a message at the Global Youth Leaders’ Congress that dives deeper into mentoring as part of “Keychain leadership.” Click here to watch the presentation.
Identify Your Young People & Pray: Working with your church clerk/secretary, review your current local church records and identify your young people infant through age 29. Use the prayer guide included in the kit, and have your church begin to pray over your church and your young people.

If your team meets two times for discussion and prayer before the next online session, that is great. You can meet more if you wish, but accomplishing the above steps to establish your foundation is the focus.
